ASI Report Shows Q3 Distributor Sales Up 4.6%

Promotional products industry continues to outpace the U.S. economy

“This latest ASI sales survey tells us what we’ve known for decades – that promotional products are the go-to choice for businesses, schools, nonprofits and even political candidates who want a low-cost, high-impact way to spread the word about their company, candidacy, brand or event,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. “We’re looking ahead to 2015 and beyond with cautious optimism.”

For its analysis, invitations went to ASI distributor members who were the primary contact with their firms and had been in business at least one year.
