Vendor "Promo Previews"

In addition to redesigning the homepage this week we added a "preview" link to the vendor promo email blast summaries in the far left hand column. By hovering your mouse over the word "preview" you'll get a pop-up image of the full vendor promo that was emailed out so you don't have to click on the link & wait for a whole new window to open to see what the blast looked like. Kind of a "try before you buy". If it looks good click the "go" link to see the full, link-enabled promo.

Online, Sortable Vendor Directory

Click here or the Vendor Directory link under the TA logo in the upper left hand corner of this page to try out our new sortable vendor directory when looking for a vendor to do business with. Keep watching it week after week as we expand & improve it.
