3. New Program Benefits – More Opportunities for Distributors
At the PPAI Expo, our New Program Benefits were a hot topic of discussion, with many distributors excited about the positive changes coming their way. Some clients shared that our previous benefits didn’t always align with what their clients needed or weren’t as competitive as other suppliers. However, with these new updates, we’re addressing those concerns head-on, and distributors were eager to hear how we’re making things more flexible and attractive.
Why It’s Popular: The removal of LTM for half first column quantities has made our programs much more accessible and cost-effective, especially for distributors looking to provide their clients with more value. Additionally, our efforts to work with IT and integrate clients who aren’t currently using Promo Standards were met with great enthusiasm, as it opens up even more opportunities for seamless program management and growth.
