ASI Decorator Benefits:
Powerful Marketing Package Designed to Penetrate this
$18 billion industry!
The first step to become an ASI Decorator Member is
to review the marketing package we have compiled for
you, along with exclusive access and special savings
on critical business products and services you will
receive with your membership. We carefully research
and select each benefit to ensure it is an effective
business-building tool for you.
ASI
number
The ASI number has been the only true,
consistent industry identifier, recognized by all
distributors and suppliers alike for more than 50
years. The ASI number brings to the table exclusive
benefits that other industry organizations
do not provide. With your ASI number, in addition to your access to a wealth
of products and services, you gain:
- Credibility – the ASI number
is the most respected and reputable industry identifier.
All members need to provide solid evidence of their
participation in the industry, and that evidence
also works as proof positive of their desire to maintain
the supplier/distributor/end-buyer sales channel.
- Recognition – the ASI number
provides instant recognition to network professionals.
You may receive earlier credit terms and discounts.
ASI suppliers are subject to regular ratings and
reporting, so you always know who you are dealing
with.
- Exclusivity – Not everyone
that applies for an ASI number qualifies – not
even if they pay more. The criteria applied to ASI
membership makes the ASI number something to aspire
to and be proud of.
Many members use ASI numbers to manage their
day to day business. Some common uses are:
- Vendor identification
- Customer numbers
- Catalog classification
- Credit references
- Supplier ratings
- Networking events invitation criteria
- Special pricing or discount status
- Preferred provider status
