Core offering

It sells association membership, granting access to a network of verified distributors, the FyvarSearch product search engine, FyvarMailing email-marketing tool, FyvarNews bimonthly publication, an annual awards program, tiered loyalty status, and a private member forum. The association also represents members' interests through EPPA at the European level and organizes trade-show participation and roadshows.

Product overview
