Yachting New Zealand and n3 have teamed up to give affiliated yachting and boating clubs great discounts at more than 50 leading New Zealand suppliers.
Clubs, class associations, maritime members and regional yacht associations affiliated to Yachting New Zealand can access n3 for free, with Sport New Zealand covering the n3 membership.
n3 is a business buying network with more than 15,000 members. These members saved more than $74 million* on their business essentials last year by utilising n3.
With their group buying power, n3 offers a wide range of discounts at more than 50 suppliers like NZ Safety Blackwood's, Bunnings, OfficeMax, Southern Hospitality and Torpedo7. n3 are dedicated to making it simple for you to save money across all areas of day-to-day business, from office needs to building materials, tools to health and safety supplies.
The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is one yacht club to have jumped on board and have made significant savings.
"It can be a useful tool if at least to price check your current suppliers and compare what you currently use," Squadron chief executive Hayden Porter said. "We have, as a result, switched to a few new suppliers and enjoy a few savings as a result. We have saved a few thousand dollars per annum, which all adds up."
As a member of n3:
- You can trade two ways: On-account and cash purchases using your n3 trade card/app.
- n3 can connect your existing account to their price file, so you can access your exclusive n3 discount, keeping the direct supplier relationship and trading as you normally would, just at a lower price.
- n3 suppliers go through a rigorous tender, negotiation and review process with their procurement experts, so you know you're getting the best price. n3 have already done the hard yards with negotiations, so you do not have to.
- You can access your n3 dashboard online. It lets you view your savings, open accounts, contact your n3 account manager and much more.
- Plus, when you join n3, a consultation with one of their friendly team will help you make the most of your membership and identify areas where n3 can help you reduce your business costs.
