IPMA membership provides valuable benefits to both franchise owners and vendors. Key benefits include:

Annual Convention - The convention serves to keep our key vendors informed about our future growth plans, our new projects and new fields we may be entering. This knowledge allows our vendors to make sure that their product development plans are in synch with the markets we are developing. It also allows vendors the opportunity to show us new products which might open unseen sales opportunities. The Convention is a key event for dialog between the independent franchise community and Muzak corporate. By keeping all franchise owners informed of new markets and strategies, we enhance our "One Voice" philosophy.

Legal Services - The IPMA retains an outstanding legal team to assist members with questions involving all facets of our business - Intellectual Property, ASCAP/BMI fees and negotiations, Audit Documentation Preparation, Dispute Resolution and Royalties Information. Take advantage of the IPMA's economy of scale to ensure you have legal support that is intimately familiar with your business and has the international experience necessary to keep you competitive and profitable.

Expertise Link - The IPMA can now help you become more profitable by providing information sharing about all sorts of systems that are outside of our standard product family. Perhaps your customers are asking you about surveillance cameras, but you've never sold them before. Just use IPMANet.com and click over to the Expertise Link.

Quarterly Newsletter & Mailings - Each quarter our newsletter features a particular associate member and highlights that members key products and any new advantages that member is offering to IPMA member franchises. It also gives associate members the opportunity to advertise their products and services. Articles featuring new or unique installations help members to think outside of the box when soliciting new sales.

Access to Membership Rosters - Both regular and associate members gain access to the membership rosters. This allows affiliates to keep in touch more easily and to support each other during new or difficult installations. Cross-territory sales agreements are more easily implemented using convenient inter-affiliate communication. Associate members can use the roster for direct mailings and other sales techniques in order to increase product sales.
