THE FUTON ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL
Working for You, and
Working for the Industry!
What Your Trade Association
Does For You!
Expo: We
produce the only trade show that is focused on futons and futon-related
merchandise.
Business Referrals: Daily, the Administrative
Office refers six to a dozen call-in consumers to FAI member retailers
in their area. Likewise, we refer retailers seeking inventory
to FAI member wholesalers in their area.
Industry Overview:
We provide a necessary overview on the industry for all interested
parties.
Business Tools/Information Research: We
do the research for you on a wide range of questions.
Representing the Industry: We provide
a public face for the industry at several trade shows per year.
Laws & Regulations: We help members
to keep abreast of applicable laws and standards, and provide
full information to members.
We also monitor and reply to existing and proposed
laws, discerning whether these laws would strengthen or weaken
the industry and its goodwill rapport with the public. This includes
periodic meetings with agencies responsible for administering
these laws, and responding to proposed legislation on behalf of
the industry.
