US Antique Shows and the New York State Jewelers Association have recently entered into a partnership in which we will work to cross promote one another. This arrangement is a “win-win” for both sides as we’re happy to provide venues for jewelers to promote and sell their products, while NYSJA provides members with an incredible host of benefits to support their businesses. We hope you’ll take the time to visit their website and read about this fabulous association and the programs they’ve worked hard to put in place.
The NYSJA was formed in 1909 by a small group of retailers who met and decided to unite together against the impending Luxury Tax that was being proposed in the New York legislature. The group labeled themselves “The New York State Retail Jewelers Association”. They grew in numbers and became a formidable force that promoted and protected the welfare of the retail jewelers in the New York State Area.
For 2010, The NYSJA has re-focused it’s efforts to appeal to all those involved in the jewelry industry: retailers, designers, manufacturers, vendors, suppliers, jewelry insurance companies, findings companies and gem labs. The association has just launched a web-based database giving members 24/7 access to edit their own information and research/network with other members within the organization.
In addition, the NYSJA Board decided to broaden it’s members benefits platform by partnering with other similar organizations. To date, NYSJA has aliogned itself with: Retail Council of New York State; JCK Las Vegas Shows and US Antique Shows. NYSJA has also had the long-standing support of Jewelers Mutual. Additional partnerships are currently being explored and will be announced shortly. NYSJA members are now able to take advantage of numerous outstanding member- only benefits: Workers Compensation; 401K Plans, Health Care connection; Networking Opportunities/Educational Seminars; Credit Card Processing; Fed Ex Discounted shipping and numerous JCK Show advantages.
