ATA’s Official Service Providers will Reduce Overhead Costs for ATA Members Whether your business needs legal, financial, technological, advertising or marketing services, the Archery Trade Association can help you with its “Official Service Provider” program for ATA members.

During the past couple of years, the ATA staff has listened to members of the archery industry as they described their need for services and benefits. The message has been loud and clear: retailers, dealers, manufacturers and even bowhunting outfitters need to cut their operating costs.

In response to the industry’s needs, the ATA has assembled an impressive array of experts and contracted with them to become service providers to the ATA membership. To be a part of the ATA Official Service Provider program, companies had to offer discounted services or benefits to ATA members, or they had to make annual contributions to the ATA’s efforts to support the industry as well as promote archery and bowhunting.

The ATA’s Official Service Providers are listed on the ATA’s Web site at www.archerytrade.org/membership/index.html. Members can log onto the Web site and learn all about each service provider and their special discounted programs for the ATA membership. “We’re encouraged by how many vendors want to be part of our group and help the ATA and its members,” said Denise Parker, ATA vice president. “We expect to sign up many more vendors throughout this year and next as companies discover the ATA can put them in touch with a network of archery manufacturers, dealers and others in the industry who need their help.”

ATA members can read about the Official ATA Service Providers by visiting the association’s Web site at www.archerytrade.org, or contact ATA directly at 866-266-2776 and press “1” for ATA.

“These benefits and services are available to ATA members only,” Parker said. “Anytime we encounter a company with services and benefits that might help any retail or manufacturing business, we’ve asked them to join our program. We hope our members take advantage of all the expertise we’ve assembled, and make their businesses more profitable.”
