Questions
|
| When was NSGA established and how many
members do you have? |
| NSGA was officially
established in March of 1998, and as of December 2000 we had over four
hundred retail members. |
|
| Who started NSGA? |
| With roots going back
many years, NSGA was formed out of the cooperative partnership of several gift basket
retailers. Their mission? To achieve greater industry recognition, better purchasing
terms, reliable resources and community networking. It is managed by
Executive Director, Joni Damico. |
|
| What happens when I decide to join? |
| After receiving your
application, we’ll mail you a detailed membership kit listing all of our programs and
how you can access them. Within two weeks of payment, you’ll also receive an account
statement. Executive members will need this to verify membership with any vendors offering
discounts. |
|
| How is NSGA different from other trade
groups? |
| Our Executive
membership offers quite a few benefits, many of which most associations don’t offer.
Besides the traditional programs (newsletter, directory, etc) we put a lot of effort into
marketing our members’ businesses as well as providing unique resources. We feel
strongly that membership is an incredible value. Many of these benefits, such as discounts
from vendors, are not even available elsewhere. |
