Dear Marketing and
Promotional Product Buyer:
If you have purchased logoed products in the past, or are
looking to purchase them in the near future – I would like to
introduce you to ASAP-Advertising Specialties And Promotions’ way of
doing business, which is assisting you in making the “Best”
decision. I would like
to show you an easy way to assure that your next purchase of logoed
items will be accurately delivered on-time, looking the way you
expected, through outstanding communication and competitive
pricing.
My name is Jamie Harrison; I am the owner of ASAP-Advertising
Specialties And Promotions…and we do something unique to this
industry in that we eliminate many of the problems promotional item
buyers have when trying to purchase logoed
items.
Dr. Marjorie Cooper of
Baylor
University recently
conducted a survey of past purchasers of logoed products, and found
buyers experienced six major problems and frustrations. I would like to show you
these six problems and how ASAP-Advertising Specialties And
Promotions solves them all.
The Six Biggest Problems With Promotional Product
Companies And How ASAP Solves Them
ALL.
1.
Orders Were Not Delivered Promptly Or When
Promised.
The
industries average production time for imprinted orders is 10-12
business days. However, this production time can fluctuate
depending on your choice of promotional product company and their choice of
vendor. All of
our orders flow through our electronic
online “Cross Check Order Tracking” software. Once in our software we
have instant vendor communication to; confirm vendor receipt of
your purchase order, view on-line proofs, request ship dates,
view projected vendor ship date, and confirm shipping and
tracking information.
We always know the status of your order and can
instantly correct any potential problem which could disrupt
your delivery date.
2.
We Did Not Get What We
Ordered.
From
start to finish the average promotional product order will be
handled by 8 different people. Many things can go wrong
during the ordering and fulfillment process. We equip our salespeople
with very detailed order forms that prompt them to accurately
record your order information from the beginning. Then during our
order entry process your information is checked again for
accuracy before we send it to our vendor. Once our vendor receives
your order it is checked a 3rd time before sending it
into production for
decorating.
3.
Could Not Fulfill The Entire
Order.
Before we let you view a product or make a product suggestion
we make sure our vendors have the product in stock. Nothing is worse than having
to be told “We’re out of stock” after making your
selection. We never
show a product unless we know it is available to satisfy your
complete order.
4.
Received Decorated Items That Were Smudged, Faded, Fuzzy
Looking, Crooked, Or Not Centered.
The
promotional product industry has over 3867 different vendors to
choose from, but not all are
reputable to do business with.
We only use vendors who have received the Promotional
Product Industry’s “Supplier Star Award”. This prestigious industry
award is presented only to vendors who have provided excellent
service in the area of on-time delivery, top quality decorated
products, and excellent customer service. And to eliminate any
guessing of what the final imprinted product will look like, we
provide an actual decorated pre-production sample prior to
decorating the entire order.
5.
Poor Communication With Salesperson And Company.
95.8%
of the 20,874 promotional product companies are small operations,
and don’t have
experienced staff nor the resources to provide you with
adequate communication. Even if you were able to reach
someone…..it may still take a few days to get your
requested information back to you. We make a point to answer
all our calls by the 4th ring and are available to
answer any questions from 7:30
am to 5:30 pm
Monday through Friday.
Our staff has over 31 years of promotional product
experience, and is knowledgeable of all orders in house. They
will be able to answer most of your questions even if
your salesperson isn’t available. If you need immediate
attention all salespeople carry mobile phones and are available 24 hours 7
days a week to assist you.
6.
More Problems Occurred From
The “Cheapest Priced”
Distributors.
We
all desire the best value for our money no matter what we are
purchasing. To provide
you the best value we have compiled a 328,000 product data
base which measures each
vendor’s capabilities.
Our data base allows us to: sort products by price, rate
vendors based on their product and imprint quality, which
vendors offer rush service and can meet deadlines, and which
vendors have the best all around communication. This information allows
us to “shop” the entire industry to guarantee you the very best
value from proven industry vendors. Over the past 15 years we
have established numerous vendor relationships and due to our
high sales volumes many vendors have extended us preferred
pricing and services – which we pass on to
you.
As a matter-of- fact, out
of 61 promotional product companies in Central
Arkansas, we are the ONLY Company that provides our
clients with solutions to these problems…..and then back them up
with these 5 Guarantees.
5 Guarantees No Other Promotional Product Company Is
Willing To Offer.
1.
On Time Delivery
Guarantee: If
your logoed merchandise does not arrive on the agreed upon event
date….. it is yours FREE.
We are confident that our “Cross Check Order Tracking”
procedure is unparalleled by anything else to prevent missed event
dates.
2.
Accurate Order
Fulfillment Guarantee:
If you receive your order and it is not
exactly how you expected – we’ll correct it for FREE. In addition to our “Cross
Check Order Tracking” procedure, we equip our salespeople with very
detailed check list of required information needed to assure
accuracy with each order.
3.
Quality Satisfaction
Guarantee: If
you are not happy with the quality of product, imprint on the
product, or perhaps you received damaged or defective merchandise we
will replace it FREE of charge.
4.
Prompt Response
Guarantee: We
will send you a $50 off Coupon; if we are not available to you
between the hours of 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday, or if
we do not answer our phones by the 4th ring, or if we do
not offer you access to your salesperson’s mobile phone number when
requested.
5.
Competitive Pricing
Guarantee: We
will “shop” the entire promotional product industry to provide you
the best value for each of your orders. We don’t always use the
lowest or highest priced vendor, but vendors offering the best value
for your money.
