We always call MIRA with whatever problems we may have and they always solve it. They work very hard. They always call me and let me know what’s going on and what changes are coming, so it’s very helpful.
MIRA truly represents its members well. Auday does a magnificent job in following through with all the needs of retailers and having created a highly respected organization, and one of the most active. They are working hard and they involve their members.
MIRA is a great association; if you need health insurance you can get it from them. They also do a lot of networking and I have found business that I can deal with through them. I suggest that every small business join them. They help more that other associations; joining definitely wouldn’t hurt.
MIRA is very instrumental in trying to partner with vendors in trying to get better protection on pricing in as many ways as they can.
I don’t think people take enough advantage of the new programs MIRA offers. The organization is all about the people now, which is different than it was many years ago.
MIRA is a good organization, I’ve been with them for 8 years. They have a lot of programs for many businesses, and we’re able to use the coupon program and get discounts from various vendors. Most people who take advantage of the programs end up coming back and using them for different things.
MIRA is constantly fighting for retailer rights. They have a voice in Lansing and are there for any questions or peoblems retailers might have.
As a member, we receive better prices on wholesale pricing. MIRA allows me to buy more and sell more product every quarter. I also receive a rebate check from MIRA each quarter.
It’s unbelievable what MIRA has been able to do. They’ve done a lot for us but just the CATax alone is the difference between making money and losing money. And now, with what they’re trying to do for us with the cigarette and tobacco tax is another battle we’re fighting to try to keep it down where things are semi-affordable for the normal wiring Joe!
