The Challenge…

We all know how difficult it is to get above the noise level and actually have a conversation with a reseller. Forget trying to call them on the phone and talking with them about your product. They are too busy and just don’t typically take the time to answer calls from vendors with whom they are not partnering.

But members of The ASCII Group give their attention to our vendor partners because our members enlist us to act as a filter for them. We screen and recommend vendors so they don’t have to. They pay us and trust us to do that work for them.

Our Programs for Technology Vendors…

Marketing Campaign

A marketing campaign delivers your message to the entire ASCII membership through an integrated marketing package that includes the following vehicles: email, newsletters, website placement and webinars.

ASCII Tech Boot Camps

Since developing personal relationships with technology companies is so important to our members, we've created the ASCII Tech Boot Camp tour where we offer solutions providers guidance on technology solutions, marketing, profitability and management. Average attendance at one of these training sessions is 150 resellers. Both speaking opportunities and exhibit space are available.

See www.asciievents.com for more information.

Webinars

ASCII Web Events provide vendor partners with an exclusive opportunity to introduce their products and services to a broad audience in a convenient and functional format. With full audio, your presenter is heard as a PowerPoint demonstration is being conducted. Made available to entire ASCII membership on a real-time basis then archived and available on demand for one year.

Solutions Benefit Directory

Because resellers don't have a lot of time to spend evaluating solutions, we have created the solutions benefit directory. Available exclusively to ASCII members on the members-only area of the ASCII website, the directory provides vendor information via both category-based and location-based searches. Inclusion in the directory will position your company for consideration when resellers are researching a technical solution or looking for a new partner.
