Who you reach

Real arborists.
Not "tree influencers".

Our members are the people pushing the saw, climbing the rope, running the chipper, quoting the job. The buyers and the recommenders — not the audience.

🧗

Climbers & groundies

The day-in, day-out users of your kit. Honest reviews, real wear, real repairs.

👷

Crew bosses & owners

The buyers. Fleet decisions, kit refresh cycles, supplier preferences.

🚜

Operators & drivers

Plant operators (dozer, excavator, grinder, chipper) and HC/MC truck drivers.

🎓

Apprentices & trainers

Tomorrow's buyers, learning your brand from the start. Future loyalty.

FAQ

Quick questions.

Why do you say "affiliates" not "sponsors"? +

Sponsors slap a logo on something. Affiliates show up. The brands we partner with are the ones the trade actually uses every day — and the relationship runs both ways. Members get real value (discounts, prize kit, training access) and partners get real reach with people who buy.

Will you take any brand? +

No. We protect the trust members have in this place — that's the whole product. Every gear partner is vetted. We say no to brands that don't fit the trade, kit that doesn't perform, or pitches that look like influencer drops. Quality over quantity.

What does it cost? +

Depends on tier, length and reach. Event listings start in the low hundreds. Rewards partnerships are usually a percentage / commission split. Gear partnerships are scoped per campaign. Send the form — we'll come back with a real quote, not a media kit PDF.

Can I sponsor — sorry, partner — internationally? +

ARBCLUB is Aus-led but open globally — our calendar covers AU/NZ/UK/EU/US/AP and our members travel. UK and US partners welcome. We'll be straight about how much of our audience is local to your market before we take your money.

Do you do exclusive partnerships? +

Yes — by category. We won't run two competing harness brands as Rewards Partners simultaneously, for example. First in, first locked. Talk to us early.
