Benefits of Membership
Joining the other 565 members of ALSA is one the major strategic moves you can make.
As a result of its large Membership and strong leadership, ALSA, is a credible, strong and united voice.
Here is what we offer:
Education Seminars
ALSA education seminars are held across the province. They help you and your staff learn more about the products you sell, increasing your perceived value in the eyes of your customers. That builds loyalty, and repeat business.
In this pressured marketplace, with competition from larger retailers growing constantly, increasing product knowledge is one of your best strategies to maintaining and growing your business. VIEW SAMPLE VIDEO
Getting your concerns to government
Our Executive and Board Members are active spokespeople on your behalf when dealing with provincial regulators, warehousers and transporters of adult beverages.
We understand the political process, we know who’s who, and how the system works. We do everything we can to make sure the voice of the independent liquor retailer is heard, and respected, by government.
Group Buys
On the financial side, we can help you reduce your operating costs by giving you access to very favourable prices for a variety of necessary services and non-liquor related products.
