I agree with this 100%. A suggestion that was made to NGS over two years
ago, was that they work with Broderbund (at that time) to include NGS
membership flyers in each FTM package. I think it would make perfect sense
for us to work with FTM and other software publishers to have them include
the "How to Hire a Professional" flyer in all their packages. While some
publishers are offering free research services, and may not be interested,
the others would be worth considering. At the very least, it would give
members a web-site to go to, and we could point them to NGS/FGS from the home
page, as well.
We might need to make the online directory a little more robust, though, if
consumers are going to go there.
