Welcome to MERCH

Officially known in the manufacturing and supply industry as “promotional products,” it’s all the same: stuff with your name or logo on it.  Whether it’s for your team, league, club, company, volunteer group, or any organization of which you are a part, or a special event you are hosting, you want to wear that name or logo with pride. 

Our MERCH division makes it possible for you to brand everything and anything.  Every type of clothing imaginable.  A myriad of different beverage containers.  Banners, flags, pennants, yard signs.  Coins and pins.  Paper and pens.  If the item exists and can be decorated, we can make it your merch.  Start searching now using the "Search All Products" search bar.

End-Buyer Research: Automotive Market

ASI’s exclusive research reveals client buying habits in eight markets and across multiple demographics.

ASI Research is launching a new series this year that profiles the people distributors work most closely with: end-buyers. Each week we’ll release a new data set that spotlights one of eight markets and looks at end-buyers through demographics such as gender, region and company size.
