To me, that\u2019s pretty cool. And I say this from the middle of a heat wave!<\/p>\n<p>This week we announced user popularity of ESP Mobile has led to total downloads surpassing 5,000 users. If you\u2019ve jumped on our mobile bandwagon, just consider how many times you\u2019ve conducted business on the run since downloading the app to your device.<\/p>\n<p>Quite a lot, right?<\/p>\n<p>When we asked around for a few distributors to tell us how they\u2019re relying on ESP Mobile to do business, Mike Woodall, owner of BrandIT (<em>asi\/145195<\/em>), told us he downloaded the iPad app the first week it dropped.<\/p>\n<p>He likes its simplicity \u2013 and accessibility. He even takes his iPad to his daughter\u2019s volleyball games and practices, to research products right then and there.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asicentral.com\/espmobile\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/timandrewsblog-asicentral.com\/timblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/iPad.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To get a leg up in business these days, it\u2019s clear you need to be ready \u2013 and able \u2013 to do business anytime, anywhere. So I\u2019m glad ASI\u00ae can provide a quick, efficient means for salespeople to search products on ESP Web\u2122 \u2013 where distributors can source and order every ad specialty product in the industry from more than 3,200 suppliers \u2013 and send proposals to clients 24\/7.<\/p>\n<p>As you know, ESP Mobile for Android, iPhone and iPad is only available to authorized distributors of promotional products who are ESP\u00ae subscribers.
