Whispering’s Market United (WMU) is an umbrella organization for all individuals who are go-getters in home-grown produce, homemade jams/jellies, artisan breads, and other hand-crafted items to be sold on local street corners. It represents a proud group of folks who are trying to keep the small producer and the health-conscious consumer top-of-mind when it comes to filling the refrigerator and pantry.
As a large organization that provides a variety of services for its regional member clubs, WMU continually strives to better understand its own profitability. WMU has four key support services to assist its members: Member Services, Social Media, Resource Deployment, and Administrative Services. These four support departments exist for the benefit of the three operating segments, which are organized geographically: East, Central, and West. While the support services primarily assist the operating segments, they also cross over and assist each other. The services offered by the support departments, along with the original cost of each support department, are as follows.
