ASI Launches New Facebook Marketing Service for Distributors

ESP Social™ helps drive sales, boost visibility and generate buzz on
No. 1 social media site

TREVOSE, PA – November 20, 2014 – The Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI) today launched ESP Social™, a Facebook marketing service for distributors to help them drive sales, boost visibility and generate buzz on the world’s number-one social media site.  
          

ASI’s social media marketing experts can now design or optimize any company’s Facebook page and post fresh content, manage ad campaigns and check performance metrics. By improving their social media presence and creating a two-way communication channel in today’s digital world, distributors have a better chance of connecting with customers.

According to Facebook, marketing through company pages can help make information flows more globalized and influential. Further, trustworthy recommendations shared via Facebook tend to have a stronger positive effect than traditional advertising.

Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. “With a full-service, brand-building option like ESP Social, there’s no excuse for inaction since ASI does all the heavy lifting for you, creating a smart-looking page and making sure it doesn’t just sit online and gather dust.”
