"As a retail member, my bakery participated in RBA's 2008 Election Cookie Poll, which added $2,000 in sales during the typical slow months. There was no cost to participate, and the additional sales were far more than the cost of membership itself. Joining RBA has provided us with free marketing for our bakery!"
