"Acquiring Supplier Status with ASI: A Comprehensive Walkthrough to Forging Industry Ties"
The Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI), the largest membership organisation serving suppliers and distributors in the promotional products industry, offers a wealth of resources for businesses looking to thrive in this thriving $26.6 billion sector.
With over 2.5 million searches made each month on ESP+, the industry's number one product platform, thousands of distributors actively searching for promo solutions can be reached. Listing products with detailed descriptions, pricing, and images on ESP+ is possible, and suppliers can stand out with ASI's digital ad space, e-commerce solutions, catalogs, and custom content creation.
To join ASI as a supplier, a business must manufacture, import, or customize promotional products and have a functional business website or product catalog. The application process involves applying online, providing company details, product categories, and business credentials. Upon acceptance, a supplier receives an ASI number, which serves as their unique identifier in the industry.
ASI equips suppliers with the necessary resources, technology, and connections to succeed. Member businesses can stay updated on recent and accurate information, including tariffs, annual studies, consumer trends, sustainability regulations, and green certifications. Built-in analytics are available to track engagement on ESP+ listings.
New suppliers can be highlighted in a New Supplier Showcase in the weekly PromoGram newsletter, and opportunities such as pay-for-placement ads, trigger marketing, and ESP+ Supplier Stores are available for additional exposure. Scheduled, private one-on-one meetings with distributors can be facilitated through ASI's Facilitate and ASI Show ConneXTM, while ASI Shows® in Orlando, Fort Worth, and Chicago offer opportunities to connect with top distributors.
In the past five years, the companies associated as ASI members have included prominent industry suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers within the promotional products sector. By leveraging ASI's resources, suppliers can expand their reach, increase sales, and stay ahead in the ever-evolving promotional products industry.
