October 11, 2004, Trevose, PA<\/strong> \u2013 Advertising Specialty Institute, the largest member organization in the promotional products industry, announced that, since January, total users of ASI\u2019s powerful ESP product research tool have tripled, to over 15,000.<\/p>\n

More than 10,000 use ESP Online and more than 5,000 use ESP on disc – up from only 5,000 total users in January, 2004. This incredible growth is allowing more distributor firms and more salespeople than ever before to quickly and easily find and research an item, from an available base of over 700,000 promotional products for sale.<\/p>\n

Suppliers are now enjoying the greatest electronic exposure to buyers at the point of purchase than at any other time in the history of the promotional products industry. All ASI member supplier catalogs are included in the ESP database at no additional cost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Subscribers, like Charles Cassely, president of C & C Promotions (asi\/154738), uses ESP Online. \u201cI can now respond to the client immediately, in real-time, with pictures,\u201d Cassely said. \u201cClients usually go with the first reliable quote they receive, so a timely response is critical. Distributors who don\u2019t have ESP Online can\u2019t research an item as quickly as I can,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that more distributor firms are using ESP, suppliers are finding that their products are always just a simple search away for more buyers than ever before,\u201d says Timothy M. Andrews, president of ASI. \u201cThe response we\u2019ve received to ESP reinforces our commitment to rethink and, as necessary, redesign every ASI product \u2013 including catalogs and magazines \u2013 to meet today\u2019s supplier and distributor needs,\u201d Andrews continued.<\/p>\n
