AIA Welcomes 7 New Distributors to Owner Community

AIA Corporation, Appleton, Wisconsin, recently welcomed seven distributors to its owner community, including AB Swag, Champagne Branding LLC, Gerbo Designs, Imprint Logo LLC, K.W.A Group Branding, Stitched Expressions LLC and Tropical Promotions.

Owners joining AIA this quarter will bring nearly $6 million in projected total contract sales to AIA.

“We are thrilled to welcome our new owners, and are honored they chose us as a trusted partner who will help them take their business to the next level,” said Nancy Schmidt, CEO of AIA. “We look forward to hitting the ground running and delivering an inspiring owner experience by implementing customized solutions that utilize our technology, marketing and business consulting services.”

The new AIA Owners were drawn to AIA’s progressive community and the opportunity to establish a partnership where they can retain their independence—all while utilizing AIA’s back-office support services, sales and marketing resources, and order financing to drive their growth.

“We knew we needed a partner to advance our business,” said Craig Stephens, CEO of Imprint Logo. “After a thorough search and evaluation process, AIA stood out from the rest because of their flexibility to adapt to and evolve our current systems. We’re excited to spend more time focused on lead generation and building relationships with the security of knowing that AIA will handle many of the back-office support and administrative needs.”

Brian Oliver, CEO of K.W.A Group Branding, appreciates the peer support and customized solutions that AIA provides.

“With more than two decades in the promotional products industry, we knew there was more potential in our business," he said. "Our partnership with AIA will allow us to work smarter and leverage their comprehensive training programs as we prepare to hire and train a new sales team.”
