2016 DC MEDIA GUIDE Our Response In 2015, Responsive, mobile-friendly websites were among the most requested features by DistributorCentral's users. Taking into account mobile traffic's rapid growth, DistributorCentral has launched a fully responsive, mobile-friendly website platform that allows your users to easily build and maintain websites that adapt to any device. Recent studies show that upwards of 60% of all web traffic is now conducted on mobile devices and that number is only expected to grow. Additionally, Google now places a premium on mobile-friendly websites in its mobile search algorithms. In light of all of this we felt it important to offer a responsive web solution to our users. Having done so allows Distributors and Suppliers that have websites hosted with us to provide a better experience for their users. Switching your current site or designing a new site on our platform provides a great opportunity to redesign and rethink the way you display your products and present your business. And we are here to help you do so. In this 2016 edition of the DC Media Guide, you will discover the numerous benefits and advantages of conducting business on a state-of-the-art product platform.

"One of the key factors in our sales growth has been our dynamic partnership with DistributorCentral. We have seen product traffic increase +50% over the past year. Distributors that research products on DC are finding us and placing orders through various methods. With Featured Product Placement, we are able to invest in which products we want to appear at the top of the search results. We enlisted our Account Manager to work with us on a one-onone consulting basis to optimize our products so that they can be found and easily ordered online. DC is very easy to work with, economical and forward thinking. I wish all our vendors were as customer focused. They listen, act quickly, and because they totally understand our business are completely in sync with our company culture. We are beyond happy with the results!"

David Kagel, COO

“DistributorCentral is by far the most convenient and well-designed platform in the promotional industry. The ease of navigation and the tools available make DC a go-to for the needs of my customers and staff.

DistributorCentral is also fair in terms of cost and is always adding improvements to the system without raising our bill. I feel that DistributorCentral membership is an absolute must as a supplier or distributor in the promotional industry.”

"DC has an extensive array of features for suppliers and distributors alike; connecting product interaction with seamless communication to ordering solutions. We needed a true turnkey e-commerce solution that works in the promotional product industry for supplier promotion & our distributor partner needs. The website solution that DistributorCentral provided us has resulted in a better engagement with distributors. It displays what they are searching for in a more industry friendly format."

Scott Thackston

President, Aprons, Etc.

"Our DistributorCentral website has been great! It was really easy to set up, quick to get up and running and our customers seem to be responding well too! And, since DistributorCentral has partnered with Commonsku (our order entry program) it makes product search very easy for our internal team as well! It’s been a great move for us!"

Kirby Hasseman

Hasseman Marketing “DistributorCentral is without a doubt one of the easiest platforms to work with in all of the industry. In doing search engine “optimization”, marketing and graphics for several prominent industry suppliers, I’ve found DistributorCentral to have a knowledgeable, friendly and very responsive staff as well as easy to work with tools. They have a significant market share of Distributor following in the industry, and experience has shown me that Suppliers using DistributorCentral to its full capacity can realize new orders and sales inquiries that far outweigh the member costs.”
