The Ampersand Group, Akron, Ohio, assisted one of its members in the Akron area to secure a three-year, multi-million-dollar contract with one of the nation’s largest publicly held retailers with more than 3,800 store locations.
“We are extremely excited to have helped our member win this business,” said Ampersand Group president Todd Mellon. “It took a team of people working long hours to help bring this together from the initial strategy sessions, to completing the proposal, to presenting the solutions and the multiple meetings that followed with the client. Our member was excited to learn that because of our expanded experience in the print and promotional products industries, they are able to consider us for other additional products. Our state-of-the-art online solution will help their many locations procure their products with convenience and ease.”
The member noted that within the first few months since securing the business, they have already generated more than $400,000 in sales.
“We could not have done this without Ampersand’s help,” they said. “[The Ampersand Group] worked side-by-side with us through the entire process. We are able to have peace of mind to handle these large orders, and the infrastructure and online technology solutions that truly keeps us advancing to the top. Our goal is to continue to grow and we know that we have found a true partner that does what they say they will. They are a true partner that provides the right technology solutions, including integration so that we do not have to double-key our orders. We look forward to what the future brings with our partnership.”
