3 Unique Websites for the Promotional Products Industry - DistributorCentral

Last Updated on

Whether you’re a distributor, supplier, or multi-line rep in the promotional products industry, here are some out-of-the-box ideas to create unique and useful websites.  Staying top of mind to your customers is becoming increasingly difficult, but these unique websites will become tools that your customers will enjoy using.

Why send your customers a boring PowerPoint or PDF when presenting them with product ideas?  Instead, create a Presentation Website!  An interactive Presentation Website provides your customers the browsing experience they are used to.  Quickly personalize your site to give the impression you spent hours on it by adding your customers’ logo, color scheme, and a personalized sub-domain.

In a matter of minutes, you can create and send a free DistributorCentral presentation website to your customer. The presentation website comes loaded with our Top Sellers catalog to brainstorm product ideas.  If your customer has expressed more specific ideas, further customize your Presentation Website by adding Product Lists for your customer.

An added bonus of using a Presentation Website for pitching product ideas to your customer is all the analytics and reporting!  In your DistributorCentral account, you can see what products your customer has viewed and when.  Like an ace up your sleeve, you can be prepped on the products that your customer clicked on before following up with them.

For you power users, turn on the ecommerce shopping cart and payment processing to allow your customers to seal the deal and complete the purchase right then and there!

A personalized website for an outside sales rep allows for more creative freedom than your company’s main website.  The main website speaks to your company’s overall brand, while your sales rep’s site can speak to how that rep is keeping your company’s brand promise in their own voice and personality.

Since these websites are distributor-focused, they don’t have to play the same end-user friendly rules.  Some tips on how to personalize the website:

Sales Rep Websites can be heavily focused on marketing. Showcase all the current and upcoming specials, email blasts, and sales sheets on the hot products.  This gives both your customers and sales reps an easy location to find them.  Include feeds of your blog and top social media channel to help keep it fresh with current content.

Easily incorporate all your company’s products to provide your customers a fast way to find ideas by using DistributorCentral’s intelligent product search.

Don’t settle for a bare bones website that only includes some contact information and links to your suppliers’ websites.  Give your distributor a tool they will use.  Tap into DistributorCentral’s website platform and intelligent product search.  You can showcase all your suppliers’ products and virtual catalogs directly on your website.

Other ways to make your MLR website more interesting and useful:

Pump up the information on your About Us page with your history in the promotional products industry and why suppliers should hire you to represent their product lines.
