Benefits include:
- Trends Resource Centre – Access to our resource centre is restricted to members only. Available on an individual first-come first-served basis, but can also be booked in advance by company ‘design teams’ & will be closed to other members.
- Membership Card(s) – Membership cards are issued to all members & will be requested at events / use of the resource centre (each designated individual will be issued a card with larger companies being able to have up to 20 named card holders for just one fee).
- Discounts & Special Offers – Most companies make savings in excess of their membership fee on their first booking! Current membership discounts range from £50 - £500 per booking or service.
- Mode Info @ DF – The Designer Forum has its own store in conjunction with Mode Information offering trend magazines, graphics CDs & Pantone products. Members will always be the first to hear of special offers & discounts.
These are just a few of the benefits currently on offer & we are always happy to discuss ways in which we can work directly with our member companies.
So why not join us? … And make the most of our unique organisation within this exciting & rewarding time!
