Recognition and representation
SDEA membership shows clients you are an established business, gets your work seen, and gives you a say in the industry.
The SDEA mark
Use the SDEA logo on your website, vehicles, pitches and tenders to show clients you are a member. More and more retailers ask their suppliers for association membership.
The Creative Retail Awards
The SDEA organises the Creative Retail Awards. Members enter every category free, and shortlisted and winning members show the badge on their SDEA profile.
Shoptalk
Our quarterly magazine publishes members’ articles, features and case studies free of charge. It is read across retail and design and handed out at major exhibitions.
