Safeguard Named Among ASI's Top 10 Fastest-Growing Distributors

Here's good news for small business owners looking for new ways to promote their business. Safeguard, a company they've counted on for years for its consultative approach, knowledge of promotional products and creative ideas for building brand awareness, is fast becoming a recognized leader in the promotional products industry, winning two top honors in recent weeks.

Recently, Safeguard (along with its parent company, Deluxe) was ranked #7 in the Advertising Specialty Institute's (ASI's) annual recognition of the Top 10 Fastest-Growing Distributors in the ad specialty market. Safeguard received this recognition for its outstanding 133% growth from 2009 to 2011, based on year-over-year sales revenues. ASI is the largest education, media and marketing organization serving the advertising specialty industry, with a membership of more than 26,000 distributor firms (sellers) and supplier firms (manufacturers) of advertising specialties.

In addition, Safeguard/Deluxe was ranked among the Top 50 Distributors by Promo Marketing magazine for total promotional product sales earned in 2011.

These honors are the result of a renewed effort by Safeguard Consultants to educate business owners about the potential benefits of the promo category. Finding the right products that match the strategy and personality of a business at an affordable price is becoming one of Safeguard's specialties.

Indeed, the company's success in the promo arena hinges upon the local Consultant's knowledge base and ability to help businesses use promo marketing effectively. According to Forrest Fairley, Director of Promotional Products, "Safeguard's phenomenal growth over the past six years represents a highly engaged distributor network that truly understands this category's potential. Next year, we intend to grow to even more unprecedented levels, thus placing us among the elite in the highest performing industry distributors."
