New Sprint Wireless Savings for ASI Members

Filed under: Industry Initiatives, Member Benefits, News About ASI

I hate to admit it, but I came of age when the very idea of cell phones was strictly sci-fi.  Today, wireless devices of all kinds are so popular – and absolutely integral to any business – that a wireless discount makes absolute sense for our members.

Our latest member benefit features savings on wireless services and equipment from Sprint are:

  • 13% off on select wireless service plans for company accounts and 8% off for individual and employee accounts.
  • Significantly discounted prices on phones and devices, with no mail-in rebate requirement for company-liable accounts.   
  • Savings on wireless accessories. 

To sign-up for the program for free, click here. 

According to Dale Denham, ASI senior VP, we chose Sprint for very specific reasons: call quality, service coverage and commitment to emerging technologies.  ASI is now the only industry organization delivering real wireless savings.

Sprint will also exhibit at The ASI Show Orlando on Sunday, January 3, through Tuesday, January 5, when company reps will be happy to help you sign up for the program so you can start reducing your wireless expenses.

I’d love to hear how member benefits have saved your company money, so please post a comment or email me here.  I’m also on Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Educating Buyers in Today’s Philadelphia Inquirer

Filed under: Industry Initiatives, Media Coverage, News About ASI, Using Ad Specialties

Monday’s Philadelphia Inquirer featured a story about the growth of hand sanitizers in our industry – educating end-buyers about the value of providing useful advertising specialties to their clients and prospects. 

To watch the video, “Philadelphia Business Today” (starts automatically), click here.

To read the article online, click here.

The story centers on how hand sanitizers now rival pens as one of the most popular logoed items. As we reported last week, searches of the key words “hand sanitizers” by promotional products distributors via ESP Online jumped 439% for the period between October 2009 and October 2008. 

Only searches for pens – which for years have been the best-selling logoed product in the promotional products industry – were higher that period.  In addition, searches for sanitizer products of all kinds jumped by triple digits this year. 

Send the link to my blog (http://www.timandrewsblog.com/) to all your clients and prospects, as an idea for a product they might be interested in for their customers.
