IFSEA Advertising Specialty Program

Today you use items to advertise and market. Examples include pens, clipboards, stress balls, magnets, clothing such as jackets, shirts, caps etc. The list is endless and all supplied by IFSEA in an arrangement with TRC. Any item you currently purchase for advertising and marketing you should buy through IFSEA.

We guarantee you will NOT pay any more than from your current supplier or we will not take the order!

In addition, each dollar you spend gives you credit towards any IFSEA Sponsorship! Minimums apply.

This Program cost you NOTHING and brings you two important benefits. First, your support of IFSEA recognized as if you were giving a cash donation. Second, you receive points that provide discounts on IFSEA Sponsorship.

To kick off your IFSEA Advertising Specialty Program new Sponsors receive a 30 day Website Banner Ad FREE when total purchases reach $3,000. That gives you a $300 bonus to start now!

Check your advertising specialty orders and you will see a $3,000 purchase is not large at all! After your initial Bonus website ad, we will discuss ways to use your points from this program. Call to discuss today. Finally, a way to spend a dollar twice!

Time of purchase program

If you sell equipment or service, timing is critical to new sales. Knowing when that piece of equipment will be replaced or additional new equipment purchased is critical information. Call and discuss how IFSEA can tell you when customer purchases are considered.

IFSEA Market Research

Market Research is expensive! However, the benefits are well worth the investment. Whether your company is large or small IFSEA will conduct market research customized to fit your need at costs WELL below Market Research firms.

Each research program customized to your need so prices quoted after we discuss your needs and submit a proposal. Using IFSEA will dramatically increase quantity and quality of your response.

IFSEA market research available for as little as $750! A market research firm will not even consider anything below $5,000.

Live Example- Just completed a research project. Sponsor received quotes of $90,000 to $103,000 from Market Research firms. Sponsor paid IFSEA $18,000 for the project!

Without good current market information you are selling blindfolded!

Large companies- this is the bargain for being associated with IFSEA. You will be surprised at the quality and low price

Small companies- now real market research is affordable for you

Good research provides valuable market information

What competitive features stop customers from buying your products (package, price, ingredients, policies)

Ask customers before investing in a new concept

Do your internal policies cost you sales

Pre launch product panel (ever introduce a dude? Costly)

Stop!
