Strategic Industry Groups And Benefits


Incentive Marketing Association members have the opportunity to join one or more Strategic Industry Groups (SIGs). Each SIG represents companies that share similar products and/or services. While IMA is focusing on expanding the incentive marketplace as a whole, the individual SIGs work to meet the specific needs of its members. SIGs publish their own newsletters and sponsor their own educational programs, seminars, trade show exhibits and special events. Each SIG develops tools to promote its unique services to corporate incentive users. Contact the IMA office or click the SIG logo below for more detailed information about the IMA Strategic Industry Groups.
