Vendor Sponsorship Options

With the launch of The Gift Service Association of Canada's new directory database, we hope to provide our existing membership with quality information regarding all vendors within our industry. Our goals for the immediate future include increasing membership, providing members and vendors a venue to interact with each other and providing complimentary service and support.

About GSAC

In 1997, a small group of Canadian gift basket professionals founded a message board on the internet to share marketing ideas, Canadian suppliers, trade information and friendships. Our group has evolved and moved a few times over the years as we've grown. In 2001, the network (now known as the Gift Service Association of Canada) was formed as a reference for our members that can be called upon when a gift is needed in the other end of the country - a great way to keep clients happy with your services! Some of our members have met for networking at gift shows, some have formed buying co-ops, and many have become good friends. The purpose of our growing association is to provide resources, support and a private sharing forum for Gift Service Professionals across Canada.
