If you have the time to kill, the money to waste, or you are doing tens of
thousands of dollars in selling ad specialties...or you want to bar hop at
night...no, it's not worth it.
With a free membership at www. upic.org (and seriously, it is FREE) for $85 or
so once a year (in the fall they send out a notice) you get automatic mailings
from ALL suppliers listed with UPIC. I would guess since the new 09 catalogs
started to ship in February-we must have recieved over 2,000 by now.
AND...other than the $85-the catalogs (and some include samples) you don't pay
a dime. Membership in UPIC gives you a 'number' that any supplier can use to
check your rating with UPIC...and you don't have to prove you are a 'reseller'
instead of an 'end user' once you have this number.
I originally started out with ASI but the yearly bill was $1000 and up...so we
dropped it. I sell anywhere from a couple hundred $$ a month to over a thousand
$$, depends on the season-and I just 'talk it up' with my regular clients since
I already have their logos. So it's well worth it to have the catalogs on
hand-we list them in a computer database file so I can look up items and pull
every catalog that has that item.
