You are here because...
  • You are an entrepreneur and would love to start your own promotional products business.

  • You own a company with business clients & customers and you want to expand by providing promotional products to your clientele to increase your services and capture more revenue and profits.

Congratulations! You’ve come to the right place!

  • The "Old Way"

    Impossible Membership Requirements to meet
    ANNUAL FEES for Membership & Research / Website Subscriptions
    Securing Competent Support for your business
    High costs of Franchises & Business Opportunities

    Left to your own devices the traditional ways of starting a distributorship are encumbered with tremendous expense.

    What you don't know...can and will hurt you.

    THE INDUSTRY'S "OLD" BUSINESS MODEL

    Franchises: Costs 10's of thousands of dollars, royalties & more.

    Business Opportunites: Usually come with printing equipment, inventory, overhead & more. Some require shared profits.

    Dealerships: Half of the profits go to your sponsoring distributor...forever. You are paid commissions. A dealership actually costs more than the two above...in lost profits.

    Then, there's the industry itself:

    The promotional products industry has a million moving parts: Suppliers, Products, Vendors, Service Providers, Teachers, Trainers. How do you connect the dots? Who do you know? Who do you trust?

    The industry also has some peculiar rules, too.

    You cannot become a distributor just because you want to.

    The promotional products industry utilizes a "closed distribution system" that requires proof that you are already selling promotional products as a distributor in order to become a promotional products distributor.

    If you can’t provide their proof requirements (multiple invoices in multiple client names, a history of working with suppliers, etc.) you won’t be "QUALIFIED" to be a distributor.

    It’s a true
    “Catch-22"

    If you do it right, you will build a successful business. If you do it wrong, you will experience frustration and regrets. You can be certain that...

    "If there's time enough to do it wrong...there's time enough to do it right!

    FAILURE IS NOT FUN!

  • The "New Way"

    The Distributors First Gateway for Independent Distributors
    *eCommerced enabled Website(s) showcasing thousands of products - provided for FREE
    *Technology Platform that includes your research software and eCommerce enabled website(s) - provided for FREE
    NO MEMBERSHIP FEES - EVER
    NO TECH SUBSCRIPTION FEES - EVER

    Why use the OLD industry business model....

    Option 1: Buy an industry franchise ($35,000+) and pay royalties of 10% on average on your gross sales....
    And renew your membership & tech subscriptions every year to the tune of $1,000 to $2,000 each year.

    Or....

    Option 2: Buy a business opportunity, ie., screen printers, pad printers, embroidery systems (tens of thousands of dollars invested in equipment & overhead) and still renew your industry memberships and tech subscription fees each year to the tune of $1,000 to $2,000 each year.

    Or....

    Option 3: Become a dealer for a distributor for little more than your time invested, but give up literally half of your profits to the distributor you are working for, while losing ownership in your client records.

    Dealers are NOT distributors.

    Distributors are always the owner of record for client orders. You have no industry fees as a dealer, but if your sales generated $40,000 in gross profits each year...you lose $20,000 to the distributor you work for every year. NOT a good choice.

    Or...

    Choose the new "Independent Distributor" Business Model...

    Choose Distributors First. Let my 22+years industry experience help you do this...the right way.

    Our motto is summed up in our name: Distributors First ~ "Where distributors come...first!" Our goal is to help you successfully create your new business or new revenue stream for your "B2B" company.

    At the outset, I have already saved you over $1,000 to $2,000 in your 1st year membership & subscription fees.

    Over the next 5 years you will have saved over $7,500 more in "renewal fees"... Because you chose Distributors First.

    With Distributors First, you will have a "state-of-the-art" technology platform for your research and public facing website, provided for FREE...and a support mechanism to help you grow your own successful "Lifetime Business".

  • What does the Money look like?

    *One-Time "Connection" Investment
    *Average Profits? 40% +/-
    *Average Orders? $800 to $1,200 per order
    *Repeat Business - Clients order 2 to 6 times per year on average
    *Part-time Income? A couple thousand $$/mo.
    *Full-time Income? 5 to 6 figure income/year
    *100% of the profits are yours...

    Any discussion of "how much money" you can make is only a discussion of possibilities, of averages, of effort spent in building a business.

    There are no guarantees. If you work and apply youself, you really can make full-time income in your part-time business. Only you can determine the answer to the question of how much.

    If you want a couple thousand dollars a month...it's here for you. If you want more, that's here for you, too.

    No royalties. No profit-splits.

    For the B2B company investigating this, you already know the majority of your business clients buy promotional products, from somebody else. That's why you are trying to plug the leak.

    If your clients only knew they could buy their promotional products from you...they would. Problem solved. Win-Win. Your business revenues and profits are increasing!

    Whether you are a start-up entrepreneur or a seasoned business veteran, every day you are losing money and opportuntiy if you are not in this business.

    There has NEVER been a more powerful or profitable entry point for new distributors than the Distributors First Gateway.

    If you are sincere in your investigation, explore this website. Read every word. Don't let what you don't know or what you think you know, prevent you from learning more about how this industry really works.

    And then, let's connect so we can get you on your way to a great income and a great lifestyle.

    Your "ROI" can literally happen in as few as 4 or 5 orders!

    It could easily happen with one or two orders!

    When you achieve a complete "ROI" your risks for starting your business are over!


    10 days from when you read this, you could be fully engaged in your new "lifetime" venture.

    For less than the cost of a one-week vacation!

  • Average size order is $1,000.00 ($400 profit for you)

    Average profits on sales - 40%

    Part-time income - couple of thousand $$$ per month +/-

    Average annual distributor sales three years in = $400,000+ per year -
    $150,000 - $160,000 annual distributor profits

    90% of clients become repeat buyers

    Clients buy on average 2 to 6 times year

    It's a 24-billion-dollar industry

  • Say you sell $100,000 worth of promotional products each year...many distributors do just that and more.

    Average Profit of 40% = $40,000 gross profit to your business ($3,000 +/- per month).

    5 & 6 Figure incomes in the Ad Specialties and Promotional Products industry is the "norm" for distributors.

    The largest distributors in the industry sell MILLIONS of DOLLARS per year.

    I prefer to be conservative when discussing your income potential. Anyone can punch in HUGE numbers on a computer! I choose not to.

    So let me reduce this to the ridiculous. It will only take 4 average client orders to completely pay for and establish your new LIFETIME business!

    A 100% "ROI" could be yours in a matter days...not weeks, months or years! It could even happen with just one sale!

    Like I said before..."less than the cost of a one-week vacation" for a lifetime business...

  • Yes. Basically the terms are half-down and the balance over 10 - 12 months at 0% interest. If you need some help, we should explore your options.

  • Pick up the phone and give me a call. Let’s get all your questions answered. We can have your business solidly in place, “shingle hung” on your door in as little as 10 - 14 days. Then the excitement begins.

Bottom Line?

You need Distributors First. You need our connections and our support. Anything less than our new gateway is a variation on the theme of the "old industry-based membership & subscription fees business model".

Distributors First is the shortest distance between where you are now and where you want to be, whether you are an entrepreneur or an established B2B company.

No more excusess. No more reasons to delay. If you're serious...we're serious, too.

We are on the sidelines of your business, helping you achieve your goals...which is what you were hoping for when you first reached out.
