At the Music Industries Association of Canada, we are dedicated to providing manufacturers, distributors, and retailers with the resources and tools necessary for greater business success and to build a stronger Canadian music products market. To do so, we have created the MIAC Membership Benefit Program that provides a wide variety of services in the areas of member promotion, education and information exchange, trade show participation and reduced costs on business services.
Economic Vitality
By subscribing to a MIAC Membership, you secure access to a wealth of knowledge and up-to-date information pertaining to market trends and recent developments. Take advantage of our annual training programs and information sessions to gain professional insight on how to implement effective marketing and management strategies. By using these invaluable services, you can stay ahead of the curve and enjoy increased music product sales and enduring success.
Research & Statistics
MIAC will continue to use its network of esteemed members to gather vital information including important statistics and the latest innovations. We hope that you may benefit from a wealth of germane knowledge by using it to implement proven strategies and services.
People and Organizations
Once you’ve used the latest industry information to bolster sales, you can protect your staff by providing specially negotiated Employee Group Insurance. In partnership with MIAC, Morneau Sobeco has worked to design employee benefits tailored to the specific needs of music product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of all sizes.
Advocacy
Over a third of each membership contribution is directed to the MIAC Music Education Fund. Over the past eight years, this fund has allowed MIAC to donate over $150,000 to organizations devoted to music education for children and young adults. By simply enlisting as a member of MIAC, you’re bringing joy and endless opportunity to the next generation of musicians and music lovers.
Trade Show Participation
The MIAC Trade Show creates a unique and positive setting in which buyers can evaluate and purchase music products with confidence. For 37 years, MIAC has been creating a focused, business-only environment in which retailers can see the entire landscape of the music products industry and catch a glimpse of future trends. Housed under one roof, MIAC makes it possible to see the latest products in action and to compare their features and prices head-to-head so that the right choice becomes an easy one.
Exhibiting at the Show
Many viewed MIAC 2009 as an incredibly powerful trade event. Over the course of two days, you can accomplish the volume of prospecting, line-showings, meetings, and coordination that would otherwise take months to accomplish. MIAC is an energetic yet highly professional forum in which orders are written, new accounts are opened, and emerging brands may be discovered.
Give your company the right exposure and you can advance your business, and the industry at large. Our extensive, targeted marketing efforts are designed to give you an ample opportunity to make a name for your offerings and we hope that you will take full advantage.
