Video of New Eco Products to Sell and Orlando Preview

Filed under: Education, Media Coverage, News About ASI

Everyone is talking about environmentally friendly products that are made using recycled materials and we just produced a new section in our Idea Showcase catalog that features 30 pages of green products that end-buyers will love.

[flashvideo filename=wp-content/uploads/videos/Tim_green_video_1.flv /]

I feature seven products in the catalog and you can see several of them at the ASI Show in Orlando next week.

You’ll be amazed what’s catching the attention of buyers:

  • A tote bag and apron made from organic cotton and polyester that’s recycled from bottles
  • Gloves made from 95% post-industrial polyester and acrylic
  • Water-powered clock and calculator
  • Lip balm that’s soy-based and petroleum free
  • A strong lanyard made from recycled soda bottles
  • A handy recycled polypropylene bag that holds up to 40 pounds of groceries

These products are great for your clients and I encourage you to contact the suppliers identified in the video for more information.

Tell me what you think about these products or other earth-friendly items you’ve seen – post now on the blog or email me anytime at tim.andrews@asicentral.com.

Major media outlets with online presences like CNN, MSNBC and CBS, to name a few, have started to include video reports and features on their sites.

Social What? Watch Video About Social Networking to Grow Business

Filed under: Education, News About ASI, Using Ad Specialties

Distributors, suppliers and decorators have been asking me about the concept of social networking and what it means for them.

Social networking allows us to bring our customers, peers and colleagues together online to share ideas, feedback and thoughts openly – like with Webinars, chat rooms, blogs and other online forums.

People can visit a series of social networking sites, which can all come together to comprise what essentially is a virtual, online community in cyberspace. People stop at and visit their sites whenever they want, stay as long as they like, and come and go as they please.
