IBC adds preferred suppliers
Industrial Buyers Consortium (IBC) announced its new relationship with SMO Catalog Marketing of Bensenville, Ill., and welcomed three preferred suppliers.
SMO prints a 528-page material handling catalog and also produces a matching online catalog that IBC distributors can now leverage to increase sales. SMO recently redesigned its online catalog to allow dealers to accept orders on a 24/7 basis, with every page of the prsonalized online catalog featuring the distributor’s name and logo.
“With technology designed not only for today’s business world – but the future selling environment as well – SMO is committed to creating technological tools that generate a greater market share for our dealers,” said Ron Roos, SMO president. “We’re looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with IBC’s distributors.”
