INTRO<\/h5>\n

One of the nation\u2019s most prolific large-format print manufacturers, AMI Graphics (asi\/80160) didn\u2019t find their success overnight. For more than two decades, AMI Graphics has been scaling their operations, punctuated by the acquisition of Quality Banner in 2017 which allowed their workforce to expand to triple digits.<\/p>\n

With two state-of-the-art facilities in New Hampshire and Florida, AMI Graphics now services custom flags, banners, pennants, signs and trade show displays for a wide range of distributor clients all over the country, but according to Director of Marketing Aaron Radbill, none of this growth would have been possible without their ASI\u00ae membership.<\/p>\n

“We found the value proposition of ASI to be very beneficial, and it\u2019s made it easy for us to expand our relationships,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cAll the opportunities within ASI have been invaluable.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GETTING SET UP FOR SUCCESS<\/h5>\n

In order to build their distributor rolodex, AMI Graphics takes advantage of many ASI Advertising opportunities, focusing mostly on digital advertising.<\/p>\n

With Pay for Placement and Most Popular in ESP+, they\u2019ve been able to get their products listed prominently amongst a sea of their competitors, allowing their listings to stand out to interested distributors. They\u2019ve also had success using Connect\u2122, ASI\u2019s prospecting and credit reporting pool that allows suppliers to target new audiences, identify ideal markets and instantly qualify distributors\u2019 leads.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Recently, AMI Graphics have even expanded their advertising services to email marketing through EmailExpress\u2122. After attending ASI Show\u00ae Chicago in the summer of 2024, they experimented with a post-show email blast to follow up with warm leads to rousing success.<\/p>\n

\u201cASI advertising spots continue to generate leads for us,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of competition for distributors\u2019 attention these days, but ASI\u2019s suite of advertising options has always been able to keep us top of mind.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

THE POWER OF LEAD GENERATION<\/h5>\n

Radbill gives a lot of credit to AMI Graphics\u2019 ability to grow their client base on the strength of their ASI Advertising opportunities,
\nbut ads alone can only take a supplier so far in this industry. In order to get ahead and make your mark on prospective distributors, you\u2019ve got to show up in person at ASI events.<\/p>\n

Having already parlayed their successful trip to ASI Show\u00ae Chicago into future business, AMI Graphics now sets their sights on upcoming hosted-buyer events, fASIlitate and ASI Show ConneX\u2122. At these more exclusive and intimate settings, they can focus on one-on-on interactions with interested distributors.<\/p>\n

The exclusive nature of these events also ensures a unique lineup with every event they attend, opening doors to new business ventures that may have previously been unavailable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese events are great opportunities to have targeted conversations with distributors who have a clear interest in what we have to offer,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cIt\u2019s like speed dating!”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Knowing that the distributors we meet this year will not be the same as the ones we meet next year brings added value,\u201d Aaron continued. \u201cWe love to showcase our products in a one-on-one setting.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

THE KEY TO SUCCESS<\/h5>\n

Aaron contributes most of AMI Graphics\u2019 success in the promotional products industry to their relationship with ASI\u2019s support team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a great relationship with our account manager,\u201d he said. \u201cShe is a wealth of information and always makes us feel like we are no. 1 on her list. She helps us understand everything that\u2019s available within our budget and is a big reason that our investment in ASI has continued to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

IT\u2019S A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT<\/h5>\n

Aaron is insistent that if you put in hard work and invest your time and resources in the right partners, success will follow. Slow and steady growth is the most sustainable way to make a lasting impression in the promotional products industry, and AMI Graphics is in a great position to continue to thrive with ASI by their side.<\/p>\n

\u201cASI will help any supplier form a thoughtful plan and marketing strategy to leverage assets that make the most sense for you,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cEven if you start small like we did, there\u2019s plenty of room to grow in this industry.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
