So what does the new National Buying Program with ASI mean to you and your business? More revenue! Distributors (like you) who sell promotional products find it very lucrative.

What is a promotional product?
Also known as ad specialties, promotional products are any item that can be imprinted with a company’s logo.
Top Promotional Products in 2012
- Shirts
- Bags
- Writing instruments
- Other apparel
- Caps/headwear
Why would my customers want to use promotional products?
Two main reasons:
- Exposure. Companies increase brand recognition with these products, because they are designed to be used or worn on a repetitive basis, constantly putting a company’s name and logo in front of potential buyers.
- Affordability. Promotional products are very affordable, with the cost per impression being less than other forms of popular media, including TV and radio.
What kind of revenue can I expect?
There’s a high profit margin on promotional products—up to 40%, and average yearly sales for a distributor are around $775,100. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
