7 Reasons THA Membership is Indispensable to Your Company
1. Build Your Business
When one of the largest brands in the world called THA requesting the name of a supplier to partner on a huge project, guess who received the referral? Our member companies. THA is the gateway to media and business inquiries. Do you want help building your business?
2. Secure National Publicity Free
In the first two weeks of the New Year, several of our partner companies received publicity from USA TODAY, NBC’s TODAY SHOW and FoxNews.com because of our influence. President Sally Kay is sought out by media for industry stories. Do you want USA TODAY, Women's Wear Daily or Glamour calling to tell consumers about your new products?
3. Save Time, Money and Frustration
From our groundbreaking Health and Wellness forums to reduce health care costs to our pioneering industry-wide WRAP Certification and sizing form discounts, we save our members time, money and frustration.
4. Market Your Products and Services to Your Target Audience
Marketing symposiums and networking opportunities. Topics cover every aspect of the hosiery business including governmental updates, consumer trends, retailer issues, cutting edge technology and much, much more. Trade Show Marketing. THA promotes its members at trade shows (i.e. MAGIC, WSA Shoe Show, Outdoor Retailer, etc.) and puts the industry in front of retailers and consumers in a positive light. THA also coordinates exhibit booths at trade shows, helping to market member offerings. 5. Access Unparalleled Resources Not Available Elsewhere

6. Influence Retailers and Consumers
We actively educate retailers and consumers about sheer hosiery, socks and seamless garments.
