Becoming a Member

Direct from Dorset exists to promote Dorset products and the businesses that make and sell them. There are many reasons to join the scheme, not just because you’re proud to be making or selling true Dorset products.

• We promote the brand, and all its members through a range of promotional and PR activities including sustained media coverage.
• We actively promote members' products to potential trade customers within Dorset, this helps us to gain more outlets and helps us to expand the brand.
• We negotiate discounts with a range of useful suppliers such as web designers and photographers, so that our members can access essential products and services at a reduced rate.
• As an extra pair of eyes and ears we are constantly striving to identify business and promotional opportunities and let our members know about them through our Members Information Network.
• We identify and nurture potential opportunities for collaboration between members businesses - just the sort of thing that individual businesses tend to miss out on because of the day to day pressures of running a business. Let us make sure you don’t miss out on the chance to work with complementary businesses to your mutual benefit.

Perhaps most importantly of all as a Direct from Dorset member you can be part of something special, something which shows that you are proud to be producing or selling a product which comes directly from the soil and landscape of Dorset.
