What ISPA members have to say...

Kerry Tramel

ISPA continually offers timely and high quality educational offerings. Events such as the ISPA EXPO, Interzum Bedding Centre, the Industry Conference and the SHOPtalk seminars are all designed to help members get the information, supplies and practical solutions needed to run their businesses most efficiently. And it’s always a great opportunity to network with industry colleagues. Every ISPA event I have attended has offered me great take-home value—exposure to new ideas and to new people.”

"I learned about the transportation analysis offered through ISPA at the Industry Conference. After hearing the presentation, I knew there was a good chance we were leaving significant dollars on the table with our transportation vendors. ISPA’s consultant completed the analysis for us, identified the problem areas, and helped us renegotiate a deal that saved us substantial lease dollars."

As competition for consumers' disposable income increases, the need for relevant, ongoing messages about the importance of a quality mattress to the quality of life has never been more important.  The Better Sleep Council has successfully kept the sleep and mattress message in the public eye since it began its work more than 25 years ago.  Everyone in the mattress business benefits from the highly valuable exposure generated by the BSC

I'm a firm believer in using technology and the internet to make business more productive and information gathering more efficient, so I'm a frequent visitor to the ISPA Web site. It takes only a few minutes for me to check the site for the latest advocacy updates and industry news, download monthly statistical reports, or to read the latest consumer research. The site is an excellent resource for anyone in the mattress business."

"The ISPA Suppliers Council has long been the motivating force for many important industry initiatives.  As the former Council Chair, I know first hand the essential role it plays in shaping policies that advance both our individual and common interests.  The Suppliers Council works collaboratively and proactively with manufacturers to promote the industry's messag to lawmakers, regulators, and consumers. Through Council activities, supplier members will continue to play a key role in helping the industry overcome future challenges and capitalize on opportunities".
