Partner Program

If you want to attract the attention of independent gasoline marketers and build brand name recognition, become a SIGMA partner. The program has three levels of participation: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. These partnerships include annual support of SIGMA, through four-color, full-page advertisements in each issue of Independent Gasoline Marketing, advertising in meeting program guides, advertising on the association’s web site and sponsoring the association’s meetings.

As a SIGMA partner, you’re entitled to benefits beyond recognition at individual meetings. You’ll be recognized throughout the year, with mentions in the association’s annual membership directory, magazine and program guides, and on the association’s web site and meeting signs. You’ll also save thousands of dollars by selecting the bundled marketing package of your choice.

It’s easy!

Choose the Partner package you want.
Choose which events at the Executive Leadership Conference, Spring Convention and Annual Meeting you want to sponsor at the level you have chosen.
Circle all your choices on the enclosed order form — including the six ads in Independent Gasoline Marketing, the two program guide ads, and the web advertising included in the Partner Packages.
Add up the total.
Subtract your partner discounts. No further advertising agency discounts are added on top of these discounts.

We recognize that not every package may meet your specific needs, therefore, please feel free to contact Nancy Muskett to discuss how you can customize a package better suited for your company.
