The
DFA Vendor Relationship Program is designed to bring value to
franchisees and valuable benefits to participating vendors. To
participate, Vendors pay a membership fee and can earn status to
different membership levels. Once the Vendor reaches a new membership
level, they will be able to maintain the new membership level for 12 months.
Each Vendor will have the opportunity to renew their commitment
annually. Each agreement must be signed by the DFA CEO and the Vendor
Representative.
Vendor Requirements
There are several requirements the DFA looks for before signing on a Vendor:
1. The Vendor must be able to provide value to DFA members, whether through cost savings, benefits or services.
2.
The Vendor must be able to position itself ahead of its competitors,
whether through pricing, quality, service, benefits and/or technology.
3. The Vendor must be able to meet any applicable Domino’s Pizza standards.
4. The Vendor may be researched through referrals by the DFA, and must be able to provide references upon request.
5. The Vendor
must pay a basic annual membership fee of $1,750 to gain access to the
program. Additional revenue sharing and/or fees are required to earn
higher Vendor Status levels.
All revenue to the DFA derived from each Vendor will count toward Silver, Gold, and Platinum Status level. This typically includes basic membership fee, advertising fees in The VOICE magazine, Booth fees, sponsorship fees, etc.
Vendors not interested in
participating in the DFA Vendor Relationship Program will still have
limited access to advertising and meeting opportunities, but at higher
rates.
Revenue
sharing in each membership package is optional and will be worked out
individually with each Vendor. The revenue sharing option provides
mutual benefits in helping one another grow and succeed. This will
ensure that both the DFA and the Vendor receive adequate value from the
program. Revenue sharing should never be done at the expense of price,
service or quality to our franchisees.
