Member Business Discount Services

ISPA members have quick access to a variety of cost-cutting and time-saving programs — from reduced freight costs to discounted overnight delivery services. Potential savings may vary depending on product selections and other factors. ISPA members must contact the vendor directly for specific program and savings information.

ISPA Member Discount Services are offered by third parties through contractual arrangements that may entitle ISPA to a royalty. ISPA does not release member information (including customer information obtained from the above service providers) to third parties except in conjunction with ISPA-sponsored programs.

If you have questions, suggestions for new member benefits or other comments, please contact Jane Oseth.
