Why NAGASA?

NAGASA, the North American Graphic Arts Suppliers Association, provides information and resources that help your company prosper. Dealers and distributors, manufacturer's representatives and manufacturers committed to using the distribution channel, along with consultants and companies interested in supportive business relationships with member companies in the channel are welcome. Some highlights of what NAGASA offers members:

  • Education and Networking. NAGASA's annual meeting, Forum, provides opportunities to network, learn, and build business relationships. Learn what steps companies are taking to stay competitive and head back to your businesses with practical information you can use immediately. The Breakfast With NAGASA program held in conjunction with Graph Expo and selected regional trade shows, provides additional learning and networking opportunities.

    Publications. NAGASA's newsletter, The Compass, provides a blend of channel news, educational information, and opinion pieces. The Eagle, an independently produced publication by industry consultants and NAGASA members Robert Fitzpatrick and Steve Aranoff, is available by subscription, with a discount available to NAGASA members.

  • Free Advertising Opportunities. NAGASAlink is a periodic mailing to all member companies as well as selected other companies in the industry. These mailings provide the means for new member companies to introduce themselves to the channel, and for existing member companies to introduce new product and service offerings. Special event marketing for shows like DRUPA, enable companies to include corporate brochures and product information materials in special NAGASA member packages for distribution at the shows.

  • Research. SOCS - The State of the Channel Survey - is designed to give members a reading on current trends in the channel. NAGASA also produces the Dealer Financial Benchmark Survey, and biennial compensation reports. Additional special reports and studies are conducted when members indicate a need. The reports provide members with useful information to benchmark their company's performance and do effective business planning.
