What Our Members Say

I have grown my business 57% since last year, and I've achieved that by partnering with AIM. It has freed me up to focus on the things I actually want to do. I'm no longer stuck doing billing or worrying about how to fund an order while waiting for a client to pay. Having the back-office taken care of has been a huge catalyst for my success. But just as important is the sense of community — feeling like I'm not alone.

Leslie Camou
J&L Printing and Promotional Products

One of the beauties of the AIM family is that it allows us to remain in control of our business while giving us the confidence to say yes to orders we wouldn't otherwise be able to take on.

Matthew and Julie Olivari
Gulf Islands Promotions

We absolutely could not do what we do without AIM. We joined in 2018-2019 and it has completely revolutionized what we do as a company. We've been able to continue to grow basically using the AIM platform.

If you are not a member of AIM, you absolutely need to call today because that is going to increase your business tenfold! The money you spend, you make back on discounted shipping and amazing pricing at various vendors, plus so much more! 

Bryan Goltzman

We feel like AIM is a partner, not just a vendor, but a partnership that we share.

Benji Bearman

The AIM Tech Suite order management system has been a huge time and money saver for us, especially with the high volume of quotes we handle. One of the first things I do is click the VIP Suppliers button to ensure we're working with our preferred suppliers. When you mention AIM to these suppliers, they move you to the front of the line and treat you like royalty. It's unbelievable!

The cost savings we've been able to pass on to our customers have been phenomenal—we've placed over 35,000 orders.

I don’t understand why everyone isn’t using AIM. At least take a look! Just compare your first two orders, and you’ll see it’s a no-brainer.

Kevin Hinton
Maverik Marketing

AIM’s Tech Suite order management system has been great! It's super intuitive and very easy for someone new coming on to learn the business. It is how I get orders entered and get them moving. I’ve been really happy with it!

Chad Dick
Fully Promoted, KS

I've been open for a week and a half as Fully Promoted in Princeton, NJ. AIM has a lot of resources for me and it's been very helpful. The AIM Tech Suite order management platform is an amazing tool for me. It's easy to use, very intuitive, and you made it very friendly. So as a new person in the business for the first time, this has been a very good tool for me.

Rashmi Nair
Fully Promoted, NJ

AIM has a great order management system! One of the things I love about it is I can manage my business from my phone. We did not have that capability before with our prior POS system. It definitely helps keep things streamlined for me and keeps me informed.

Sal Calautti
Fully Promoted, NH

We love AIM! We love working with AIM Tech Suite and the support we get. They're a great partner to have and I'm happy to work with them!

Lauren Seigle
Fully Promoted, TX

I’m just so glad AIM became part of the Fully Promoted team. We find it really easy for order entry, documenting, and all sorts of good things like that.  I am very happy to be using AIM Tech Suite!

About

The question

A distributor at a trade show in 2006 asked something simple:

Why should going independent mean going it alone?

The tools, the deals, the leverage all of it sat behind doors that only the big players could open.

So, he built the door.

He created a collective where independent distributors could pool their buying power, share intelligence, and compete on equal footing with anyone in the industry.

No marketing. No shortcuts. Just results.

That was AIM. This is what it became.

The Evolution

A technology-backed community.

AIM is what happens when collective scale meets individual agility.

AIM has moved well beyond the traditional buying group model. Today, members access a complete competitive toolbox: community-driven knowledge, AI-powered business intelligence, automated back-office systems, technology that makes selling merch quick and easy, and preferred pricing that independent operators could never negotiate alone.

Built for bigger

Being in AIM means belonging to something with weight behind it.

We provide the relationships that open doors, a network that looks out for you, and a community that is architected on mutual success.

What it became
