(Philadelphia, PA - July 8, 2003)
Promotional Marketing Digital Marketplace (www.pmdm.com), introduced in March 2003 by Promotional Marketing magazine, has become the industry's largest distributor product search tool in just three months.
"There's every reason to expect that we are on pace to exceed 10,000 activated distributor users by year end," stated Matt Barnes, Publisher.
"In fact, we will be submitting the PMDM distributor user base, including the demographic profile of each user to BPA for an independent third party database audit. BPA just published a circulation audit of the 20,300 distributor subscribers of Promotional Marketing magazine, providing accountability to suppliers about where their advertising dollars are going."
Distributors are delighted costly subscriptions to other product search services are no longer necessary as PMDM is both free and the most advanced solution for promotional products distributors.
"I think PMDM is a big step forward for our industry. I pay close to $700 a year for (another service) and I have several subdealers who can not afford this expense. This will be a great alternative for them, and for me. I especially appreciate the ability to contact the supplier for quotes and information being right within the same information screen. Well done!
--S.B., Kaeser & Blair
"PMDM will be an asset for my business and I especially like the customer proposal features. This makes it so much easier to quote prices to clients in a quick turn around time frame. Thank you so much for offering this as a FREE tool to the distributors."
--J.S., Joyce's Specialties.
