October 28, 2011
Ewing, New Jersey, Oct. 28, 2011 – Martin Group, an office technology dealership based in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin has been selected as the 2011 Elite Dealer of the Year by The Week in Imaging (www.theweekinimaging.com), an online information and news publication for independent dealers and resellers of imaging technology, supplies, and services.
The Elite Dealer awards have been presented annually from 1989-2009. This is the first year they’ve been presented by The Week in Imaging. In celebration of the return of the Elite Dealer Awards after a one-year hiatus, Scott Cullen, publisher and editor of The Week in Imaging and a long-time office technology industry journalist, has added the Elite Dealer of the Year Award to the mix. This award celebrates the Elite Dealer that stands out from the many other successful and creative dealerships honored this year.
The Elite Dealer Awards honor the best and the brightest in the imaging technology dealer community. This year’s honorees encompass entrepreneurs, innovators, survivors, top sellers, and celebrated members of the communities in which they serve. These are the dealerships that provide office technology, software, and services to businesses and organizations of all sizes.
“Winners are not based on sales figures alone although many of this year’s Elite dealers are some of their manufacturer’s best sellers,” states Cullen. “We look to select dealers who are innovative and offer creative sales and marketing programs and unique product and services offerings. Another key consideration is the work environment they provide employees and the job satisfaction that culture inspires. "
Involvement with the community is another consideration and many Elite dealers and their employees generously donate time and money to the communities in which they work.
“It’s not any one trait, but a combination of traits that make an Elite dealer and a dealership such as Martin Group Elite,” adds Cullen. “Indeed, Martin Group exemplifies all the best traits of an Elite Dealer. But they are more than just an Elite Dealer. With their commitment to ethical business practices, effective and efficient customer service, a commitment to community service, their long-term client relationships, and unique programs and forward-thinking marketing, this is a dealer who stands out from the rest of this year’s winners. That’s why Martin Group is our 2011 Elite Dealer of the Year.”
