    • Referrals - many companies and/or organizations outside the sign industry regularly contact the SAC National Office looking for products and/or services provided by our members. The Sign Association of Canada office will be forwarding these requests for quotes, services, or products via email to all of its members. In addition many of our larger member companies often need to sub-contract work and will use other member companies to complete specific projects. Members are listed in the SAC Membership directory, SAC web site search engine, and ISA web site and directory to maximize their exposure to the sign industry in North America.

    • Web Site listing - free listing on the search engine membership database (Sign Service and Vendor Locator located above) referencing specific products and services. Third parties such as property managers, architects, end-users, and advertising agencies often use this as a reference and contact members directly.

    • Membership Directory - this directory connects our members across the country and has been a source of many referrals. This all inclusive reference guide complete with a comprehensive index will prove to be the ultimate reference tool. This will increase the efficiency of SAC-ACE members in terms of compliance and awareness of the rules, regulations, certification, etc. in each province/region in which they conduct their business.

    • Industry Representation and Support - for all our members at every level of government. The Sign Association of Canada has successfully fought restrictive legislation in many jurisdictions and will assist companies in local areas across the country when required. SAC’s sign code consultant has also supported members by providing input and guidance to municipalities that are revising or updating their sign bylaws.
