Each month, ESP Websites attract 700,000 unique end-buyer visitors and 4.5 million page views.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Korowitz, CEO of Top 40 supplier The Magnet Group (<em>asi\/68507<\/em>) and winner of the 2013 <em>Counselor<\/em> Supplier of the Year award, said he chose ASI to develop his company\u2019s customized website because he wanted his distributors to enjoy a robust search capability coupled with outstanding flexibility in marketing. \u201cIt was amazing that a program built to handle the average industry supplier could meet so many of our core needs right from the start,\u201d said Korowitz. \u201cWe are thrilled with the result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest ESP features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Easier Customer Access<\/strong>. Create password-protected accounts for clients who aren\u2019t ASI distributors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Featured Product Lines<\/strong>. Offer focused, branded websites for up to 10 product lines on each ESP Website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More Choice<\/strong>. Decide whether to show or not to show product numbers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Search<\/strong>. With the new type ahead algorithm, start typing a site name and matching sites immediately appear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dynamic Virtual Samples<\/strong>. Applied in the product compare tool and anywhere product images are displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the websites that ASI creates for suppliers, ESP<sup class=\"register\">\u00ae<\/sup> is used by over 30,000 distributors to search for suppliers in the ASI network. Additional ESP features announced today include an eighth Pay for Placement spot available in ESP Web and ESP Online. Plus, suppliers with <em>The<\/em> <em>Joe Show<\/em> sponsorship now qualify for a tile ad on the home page of ESP, the industry\u2019s most powerful sourcing platform.<\/p>\n<p>Over 72% of all product searches in the industry are conducted in ASI\u2019s flagship ESP, which annually generates over 25 million product and supplier searches and is used by 100% of the <em>Counselor<\/em><sup class=\"register\">\u00ae<\/sup> Top 40.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cASI\u2019s User Experience and Product Development teams are always on the hunt for ways to make dramatic differences in the online tools suppliers rely on every day, while ensuring that the entire ESP experience remains accessible and easy to use,\u201d said Timothy M.
