Frequently Asked Questions


How do I order merchandise through the Group Purchasing Organization?

You continue to order as you always have, but now you identify yourself as an EW member and give the Participating Vendor your unique EW identification number, which will be assigned to you by Essentially Women® Group Purchasing Organization upon receipt of your application and start-up fee of $50.

How do I qualify for the Essential Rewards Program?

Participating vendors track individual member purchases, calculate the Essential Rewards Program due each member and report this information to EW. EW totals all Essential Rewards due from each Participating Vendor, prepares a detailed report that includes all of your Participating Vendor buying activity, and sends this report along with your Essential Rewards Program check directly to you. Essential Rewards are calculated on a quarterly basis.

How do I pay my dues?

Quarterly dues of $45 are deducted from your Essential Rewards Program check. In the unlikely event that your Essential Rewards payment is not sufficient to cover your dues, you will be billed for any outstanding balance. Dues must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date or your membership will become inactive. Vendors will be notified that you are no longer eligible for EW benefits. A re-activation fee of $50 will be charged to rejoin.

How do I know EW will be profitable for me?

EW Participating Vendors offer immediate discounts or other buying incentives at the time your order is placed, so you save money simply by ordering from EW Participating Vendors. You save even more by taking advantage of special sales and promotions that are offered exclusively to EW members by our Participating Vendors. And, as an added bonus, you will also receive a quarterly Essential Rewards Program check based on your buying activity with EW Participating Vendors. The more you utilize our Participating Vendors, the greater your Essential Reward.

To estimate your potential Essential Rewards, calculate the following:
Based on an average 2% Participating Vendor Essential Rewards, purchases of $2,250 per quarter from any of our Participating Vendors would cover your quarterly dues. If your combined purchases exceed $750 per quarter, you will be rewarded with an Essential Rewards check. Essential Rewards checks have exceeded $5,800!

How do I get started?

It's simple. Just contact us by phone, fax or email and we will mail or fax you the application and company profile form. Just complete these forms and return them with your application fee to Essentially Women® Group Purchasing Organization. EW will notify our Participating Vendors of your new membership.
