ASI® Announces Exclusive Relationship With Technologo Virtual Sampling Specialist
Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI®), the largest media organization serving the promotional products industry, today announced a new relationship with virtual sampling specialist, Technologo, to provide up to a 40% discount on virtual sampling services to ASI members.
Trevose, PA (PRWEB) December 27, 2004 -- Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI®), the largest member organization serving the promotional products industry, today announced a new relationship with virtual sampling specialist, Technologo, to provide up to a 40% discount on virtual sampling services to ASI members.
The virtual sampling concept revolutionizes the way ASI distributors and ASI suppliers communicate and sell. Distributors search for promotional products using either ESP® Online, ASIs research and marketing tool, or other online search engines, then use Technologos virtual sampling services to place the clients logo on the item. Once complete, the sample image is emailed to the client for approval and order placement.
Distributors can use Technologo Collection, a public library of virtually enabled products from leading suppliers, at www.technologo.com to create 3-D virtual samples for sales presentations at no charge. Specialized software or additional graphic design expertise is not necessary.
Suppliers appreciate the ability to integrate virtual sampling technology directly into their Websites, equipping distributors with a powerful selling vehicle. The ability to view products with all available colors and branding options greatly increases revenue potential, while reducing costs and sales cycle times.
ASI president, Timothy M. Andrews, said The relationship between ASI and Technologo integrates new features for members to use to help build their businesses. Technologo joins a growing lineup of affiliates that add value for our members, including UPS for discounted shipping, NPC for credit card processing and VoyagerNow, soon to be Affinity Express, for digital artwork services."
Helping clients visualize their logo on a product is a highly effective sales tool and Technologos offering makes it so simple," explained Dale Denham, ASI senior vice president. Weve investigated many technologies, including building our own program. However, nothing comes close to what Technologo offers."
I am thrilled with ASIs choice to select Technologo as its virtual sampling solution. This decision provides further evidence that the virtual sample concept has become an integral part of the industrys marketing and sales functions. More distributors will now be exposed to our tools, which will be a great benefit to Technologo and Technologo enabled suppliers," said Alex Landa, Technologo Founder and CEO.
