Promotional Products Association Intl. (PPAI), Irving, Texas, and technology provider SAGE, Addison, Texas, recently launched the Power of Two alliance.
The partnership will give distributors the opportunity to receive the combined benefits of a PPAI membership and a SAGE Total Access subscription.
Eligible SAGE Total Access subscribers now will automatically receive a membership to PPAI. In turn, PPAI members will receive a subscription to SAGE Total Access, giving them access to SAGE Online, SAGE Web and SAGE Mobile, the provider’s suite of product research, presentation, CRM, order management and virtual sampling tools.
Small distributors, with sales less than $250,000, will receive a single, co-branded invoice for both their PPAI membership and SAGE Total Access subscription. Additionally, small distributors no longer have to redeem vouchers in order to sign up, making it easier for them to receive these combined benefits. No additional charges will be added to receive the Power of Two benefits.
Larger PPAI distributor members will continue to receive vouchers for SAGE Total Access with their PPAI memberships and be invoiced separately for their SAGE services.
