TREVOSE, PA \u2013 July 9, 2007 –<\/strong> Advertising Specialty Institute\u00ae (ASI), the largest media and marketing organization serving the advertising specialty industry, announced today that it is providing a new discount shopping program for office supplies from OfficeMax.<\/p>\n

The program is called OfficeMax Partner Advantage\u2122 and it provides ASI members with average savings of 30% off commercial list prices on more than 10,000 office supplies – including business furniture and equipment.<\/p>\n

In addition, program participants will work with an account executive from OfficeMax to receive personal pricing on a list of up to 50 of their most frequently purchased items for their business, allowing them to save even more off the average retail discount.<\/p>\n

Within a few months, deeper discounts will also be available on over 100 products that are ordered most frequently by the group of ASI members who are enrolled.<\/p>\n

\u201cASI members have been asking us for a program like this,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer for ASI.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m proud to provide this valuable and exclusive program at no additional cost \u2013 participation is free for all ASI distributors and suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrices provided in this program are lower than at other large office supply outlets,\u201d Andrews said.\u00a0 \u201cASI members can use the substantial savings to invest in more advertising, marketing and staff resources to grow sales and will have more time for selling by being able to shop online anytime from almost anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first discount program for office products in the advertising specialty industry.<\/p>\n

Those who enroll can shop around-the-clock using the program\u2019s commercial Website – www.officemaxsolutions.com\u00a0the commercial catalog, or at any of the 900 OfficeMax superstores\u00a0nationwide.<\/p>\n

There is also a lowest-price guarantee, and a lower price will be honored on products in the program\u2019s commercial Website or commercial catalog if shoppers find them cheaper elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cASI has been considering several office supply partners,\u201d said Karyn Coates, executive director of affiliate relations for ASI.\u00a0 \u201cWe chose OfficeMax because it has a wide selection of office supplies, its representatives provide incredible service, and there is savings for products available online, in the commercial catalog and in the stores.\u00a0 There is even free shipping for in-stock orders over $50.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new shopping program for office supplies joins more than ten other member savings programs from ASI, including discounts on UPS\u00ae shipping, group health insurance options from MMIC, credit card processing with Access Group, and digital artwork services with Affinity Express.<\/p>\n

ASI members will receive a letter from OfficeMax this month with more information about the program.<\/p>\n
