"The year-over-year increase is consistent with the reports I'm hearing at the PPAI Town Hall meetings and company visits since the first of the year," said Paul Bellantone, CAE, president and CEO of PPAI. "I've been encouraged by the positive uptick in sales that many of our distributor members have been reporting. Throughout the year, we had solid indicators that sales were heading in the right direction, including PPAI's quarterly sales barometer which tracks supplier and distributor sales as reported by our members. In December, our distributor members were reporting an average sales increase of 6.67 percent over 2010 so the annual increase is very consistent with that trend. This is more proof that our members are moving ahead-and that's great news for the promotional products industry."
