GABERCO accepts members worldwide that adhere to the standards as created by the Board and the existing members. We offer various levels of membership, from individuals operating within the baby equipment rental business, to platforms and franchises who wish to increase their reach within the marketplace, and manufacturers who wish to engage in this growing market, as well as service providers specifically to the baby gear rental industry.
Accreditation is only available to professionals within the baby equipment rental industry who meet a strict set of standards created by the Association. These standards vary and include measures to ensure safety and compliance with the various regulations specific to their country of operation and are spot checked by companies who specialize in adherence. These standards are reviewed annually, and are specifically related to the region in which you operate, as each country, state, city, and town has different legal and social requirements when it comes to baby equipment and baby gear rental companies and how they operate.
As with other professional organizations, the main benefit to GABERCO membership is showcasing your commitment to your customers that you believe in creating and maintaining higher standards within a growing industry. Other member benefits include things that will help your business grow, including access to our many members-only pages and services (free marketing and PR advice, social media templates, and other tips/tricks,) access to exclusive leads from partner apps and lead generation sources, and perks such as free/discounted gear and platform fees. For Associate members, there are opportunities to market directly to baby equipment rental professionals through our communication channels. Please note, we do NOT share our member list with other members, partners, or associates per the request of our members.
Currently, we offer three types of membership:
- Premium Member – open to any related industry professional who adheres with basic mission/goals $99 per year.
- Accredited Member – only open to those who pass the certification process. Display our logo, assure your customers, drive your business. $150 per year.
- Associate Member – memberships for aligned partners, platforms, and businesses that support the industry and the standards of GABERCO. Promote your product or Platform to our members. $500 per year.
To begin your membership, submit your information below. You will then receive an email with a membership application form that asks you to provide certain elements for review so that we may ensure that your standards align with the organization and thus providing you with certification/membership status that will set you apart from your competitors. Once your application is reviewed and a short interview conducted, you will submit payment and be given access to the members only areas of the site as well as social media pages for members only.
