ikeGPS Aligns With 3 International Sign Associations
- New membership expands ikeGPS' exposure across international signage
industry-
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--ikeGPS announces that it has been admitted to the
membership of three international signage associations: Australian Sign and
Graphics Association, New Zealand Sign and Display Association, and Sign
Association of Canada, replicating an aspect of the company's highly
successful market entry strategy in the U.S. signage industry.
These three associations are dedicated to improving the signage industry as a
whole and helping their members succeed in the marketplace. In an effort to
do so, these organizations largely focus on providing members with industry
education. This includes offering information on the latest products in the
market, such as Spike, ikeGPS' laser measurement solution for creating
signage estimates and site surveys. Joining these associations exposes Spike
to all of their members. There are estimated to be more than 10,000 signage
businesses in the Canadian market alone, and ikeGPS is excited to be working
with such high-quality organizations in these new markets.
In formally joining these associations, ikeGPS continues to focus on the
expansion of Spike internationally. ikeGPS expects to announce new
Australasian, Canadian and European partnerships and marketing programs in
the near term.

About Australian Sign and Graphics Association
For over forty years, the Australian Sign & Graphics Association has been the
representative body for the sign and graphics industry in Australia. It
covers the whole spectrum of sign makers, sign installers, sign writers,
graphic designers, sign educators and apprentices, as well as sign industry
suppliers.
The ASGA encourages the highest standards from its members and seeks to
enhance the professionalism within the industry. It believes its policy of
quality and commitment to the customer is not only in the best interest of
its members, but also provides a safeguard for their clients.
The Association provides its members with continued support and technical
information through sourcing significant benefits for them. The ASGA has been
a leader in helping to reshape educational training courses and to encourage
sign industry educational training centers around Australia.
The ASGA promotes the Letterheads movement, values its involvement in Sign
Industry EXPO's throughout Australia, hosts National Conferences with the
Visual Industry Suppliers Association (VISA), and liaises closely with the
New Zealand Sign and Display Association (NZSDA).
About Sign Association of Canada
Since 1955 the Sign Association of Canada has successfully promoted the
welfare of the sign industry, improved the status of its members in the
community and benefited the users of signs. However the traditional
boundaries of the sign industry have expanded due to the rapidly changing
level of technology and the evolution of the commercial marketplace. The Sign
Association of Canada has recognized these trends and has advanced to partner
with related industries and sectors that use, design and manufacture
commercial images.
Please take a moment to review our website and our present initiatives. There
are many changes and enhancements being implemented at SAC-ACE over the next
12 to 18 months. From new value added member service programs and increased
marketing initiatives for our members, to the development of additional
accredited training courses and a more proactive approach in dealing with
governmental and regulatory issues.
About New Zealand Sign and Display Association
The NZSDA is an association of employer craftspeople, bound together by a
Code of Practice to uphold high standards of craftsmanship and business
ethics. The Association liases with local bodies on by-laws affecting
signage, maintains apprenticeship training standards and encourages the
sharing and expanding of knowledge within the Signmaking industry. Companies
using the services of any of the members of the New Zealand Sign and Display
Association may be assured that they are dealing with 'Sign Craftspeople' who
are subject to redress through the Association in the event of any complaint.
