Why join the ISA?
The Invitation & Stationery Alliance has fast become a valuable asset for those in the wholesale invitation and stationery industry. In addition to the benefits that come from networking with those in the market, members of the ISA have access to many other special perks:
- PaperPals - The Paper Pals program matches up
longer standing members with newer members, in order to create a
mentorship relationship and foster an environment open to learning
from all views.
- Spring Mailing - Sent out each
March, the Spring Mailing has become eagerly anticipated
by industry retailers. Members of the ISA group together to coordinate
high-end postcards for retailers to learn about new manufacturers and gather information about updates to current manufacturers. Not only is the mailing
produced at a fraction of the cost of other industry mailings, the
response rate is outstanding!
- Annual Meetings - The ISA holds two separate
meetings annually, one at the National Stationery Show each spring,
and one each fall at a different member's city. Both meetings are
crucial, face-to-face planning times where each member is given the
opportunity to present their ideas on strengthening the wholesale
stationery industry, or simply learn more about how to get involved.
- Laughter Factor - Comradery among members cannot be discounted. The annual meeting is held in a specified city over a weekend in the fall, and members enjoy brainstorming, talking trends and getting to see stores in the host city.
