Being a Buyer Anyone can buy ideas on OpenAd.net and hold online pitches, but they have to become a Member first. The first step is to register by opening a Buyer's account. You will then be given details of the various Membership packages available to you. OpenAd staff are available to help you select the right package. You can contact them at membership@openad.net. Your Membership package will specify the categories you have access to, the number of users in your company entitled to access the account, and the number of pitches you may hold in the 12-month Membership period. OpenAd.net guarantees that a minimum of 20 submissions will be pitched to you. Please note that you may only look for and buy ideas in those categories to which you have access, according to the Membership package you have selected. If you wish to see ideas in other categories, you should upgrade your package to include those categories. Likewise, you should upgrade if you wish to hold more pitches than the number you specified when choosing your Membership package, or increase the number of account users. Contact membership@openad.net for all upgrade queries. The ideas for sale to Members are creative concepts for use in advertising, design and marketing. These concepts will be presented in a variety of forms: from TV and Radio ads to Web Design to Marketing Services and more. None of the ideas have previously been published, nor do they carry any brandnames or trademarks. They are submitted to the Gallery daily by thousands of registered Creatives worldwide. For more tailored solutions, (perhaps you are looking for ideas for an ad campaign or a fresh approach to company PR), Buyers can hold an online pitch. This involves publishing a creative brief on the website and inviting Creatives to come up with solutions to fit your needs. Ideas entered in response to a pitch are displayed in your own personal portfolio and may only be licensed from Creatives by you. How to become a Buyer Becoming a buyer is a two-stage process. You will need to

1. register to open a Buyer's account
2. become a Member by number of users in your company entitled to access the account, and the number of pitches you would like to hold in the 12-month Membership period.

To register, first select what type of user you are, i.e. whether you are a company or a freelancer. Freelance Buyers usually license ideas on behalf of their clients. All Buyers may buy ideas on their own behalf or for their own use; they also have the option of buying ideas for a third party (a client) and to act as resellers. You will then be asked to provide us with information about you. This information must be truthful and complete, as you will be entering into a contractual agreement with OpenAd.net. You will provide personal details, company information (if you are registering as a company), revenue details, login information, your preferences, and billing and mailing information. After confirming the information you have entered, you will receive an email containing a link that takes you forward to a page outlining how to become a Member of OpenAd.net. You will be recognised by the system if you have registered but not become a Member, but you will not be able to access categories or hold pitches without first purchasing a Membership package (see Membership Help).
