Benefits of a Direct Gardening Association Membership

Every member of the Direct Gardening Association enjoys the following benefits:

1. Bi-Annual Conventions:
   The Direct Gardening Association holds bi-annual, industry-specific conventions that allow direct marketers, retialers, wholesalers and vendors to learn more about the latest products and services from leading experts. Direct marketers find new suppliers. Retailers and wholesalers find new customers. Vendors meet directly with decision makers. From "Boot Camps" to "Meet the Experts" and "Roundtable" sessions, DGA Conventions provide a multitude of opportunity for you and your company to excel with the tools and benefits DGA offers.
   
   
2. Industry & Consumer Research:
   As an DGA member, you'll receive monthly e-mail reports with the latest industry news. Our in-depth survey reports, legislative updates and press releases provide the kind of broad industry prospective normally reserved for companies with deep pockets. These extensive research projects address pertinent industry issues such as garden trends, industry stats, Web site analysis, fulfillment studies and much more. It would cost thousands for an individual company to obtain this kind of information on their own.
   
   
3. Face-to-Face Access to Suppliers:
   When you need a supplier or vendor you can trust, turn to the DGA Membership Directory. You'll receive a copy when you become a member, or with a pass code, you can search the electronic version on our Web site.
   
   
4. Free Garden Catalog Listing:
   Expose your company to thousands of home consumers and garden writers with your free listing in our garden catalog guide, available online.
   
   
5. Shipping Discounts:
   We are currently looking for competitive offerings from USP, FedEx, DHL, and/or USPS to offer to our member companies, who ship hundreds of thousands of packages each year. Please contact us if you are interested in negotiating mutual benefits.
