Essential Learning Products launches EssentialDealer.Com
April 2011

Essential Learning Products announces a new website for educational dealers. EssentialDealer.Com is now open 24/7 with tools and services for the trade.

Dealers can now instantly grab product images any time of day. The entire catalog of product images is just a click away. These images are viewable as icons alphabetically by title or as a numerical list for selection and download. "When our dealers are working on a catalog deadline, whipping up a promotional flyer, or updating a website they now have quick and easy access to product images," said Kevin Casey, General Manager. Product copy can also be copied and pasted into files directly from the site. When dealers need lots of images they can also simply order a complete library CD from the website or by calling customer service.

When Essential Dealers want to be sure they have the latest trade catalog they can view the entire catalog online, before it is even in the mail. Lots of dealer tools are also available online. A master spreadsheet provides UPC, weights, cubes, ISBN, product copy, etc, for easy loading into point of purchase and order fulfillment systems. Prospective Essential Dealers can download credit application, catalog, order form, etc. A new collection of informative articles tagged Merchandising Essentials is building at the site. Educational dealers will appreciate the ability to check current specials and promotions online. In the near future dealers will be able to even order online.

Not all areas of EssentialDealer.Com are public. Dealers wanting full access simply need to register to acquire a log-in that opens the entire suite of services to them. This will also subscribe Essential Dealers to e-mail updates alerting them to new promotions, services, and even web-only specials.

"This is the new beginning of our online services for Essential Dealers," commented Kevin Casey. "We plan to continually add features that make it easier to sell our products. All of us are eager to hear ideas and requests from the Essential Dealer community. We listen and will respond to make this a very useful B2B cyber-place for Essential Dealers."
