Taking into account mobile traffic's rapid growth, DistributorCentral has launched afully responsive, mobile-friendly website platform that allows your users to easily build and maintain websites that adapt to any device. Recent studies show that upwards of 60% of all web traffic is now conducted on mobile devices and that number is only expected to grow.

“DistributorCentral is by far the most convenient and well-designed platform in the promotional industry. The ease of navigation and the tools available make DC a go-to for the needs of my customers and staff. Our account manager has always been excellent offering support and suggestions to keep us ahead of the curve in terms of product data and new upgrades to the platform. DistributorCentral is also fair in terms of cost and is always adding improvements to the system without raising our bill. I feel that Distributor- Central membership is an absolute must as a supplier or distributor in the promotional industry.”

"Using DistributorCentral’s Email blast service has been a wonderful experience. The account managers and staff at DistributorCentral are very reasonable, willing to offer suggestions, and knowledgeable about the industry."

Kristy Tantillo Marketing Manager, EMT

"One of the key factors in our sales growth has been our dynamic partnership with DistributorCentral. We have seen product traffic increase +50% over the past year. Distributors that research products on DC are finding us and placing orders through various methods. With Featured Product Placement, we are able to invest in which products we want to appear at the top of the search results. We enlisted our Account Manager to work with us on a one-on-one consulting basis to optimize our products so that they can be found and easily ordered online. DC is very easy to work with, economical and forward thinking. I wish all our vendors were as customer focused. They listen, act quickly, and because they totally understand our business are completely in sync with our company culture. We are beyond happy with the results!"
