Corporate Incentive Solutions Merges With Prestige Promotions
March 2005
Boston, Massachusetts-based distributor Corporate Incentive Solutions
(UPIC: Corpo988) announces a merger with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based
distributor Prestige Promotions. Beth Fini, Prestige founder, remains
with CIS as senior sales associate based in Philadelphia.
"Establishing operations in Philadelphia is an important part
of our East Coast expansion strategy," says Richard Spector,
vice president of strategic development. "In just more than
one year, we have grown from three to 42 salespeople and five offices."
With the completion of the Prestige Promotions merger, CIS will
operate offices in Boston, New York, Washington, DC/Maryland and
Philadelphia.
Prestige Promotions sales reps are servicing existing accounts
as members of the CIS Philadelphia sales team – with a twist.
CIS sales reps operate under the company's business plan, which
promotes cross selling of promotional products as well as travel
programs and meeting logistics.
"As part of CIS, I'll be able to offer clients one-stop shopping
by providing travel packages as well as promotional products,"
says Fini. "Merging with CIS provides us with the resources
we need to grow this office and gives me the opportunity to focus
on increasing our revenues. I’m excited to join the team."
