NASGW Launches Online Member Directory T he National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) has launched an online member directory that combines the “look and feel” of a printed book. NASGW officials point out that the online directory has an array of powerful interactive features, making it easy to locate, contact and do business with the organization’s members. “We set out to combine the impact of our traditional printed directory, complete with high-impact color advertisements, with the power of the Internet. This new tool achieves our goal, and it will make it easier for the industry and our members to do business — whether they’re on the other side of town or the other side of the world,” said Wayne Smith, NASGW president. The 2008 NASGW Online Member Directory offers FlipPage E-Directory technology that allows readers to “turn” pages with the click of a mouse. Online viewers can zoom in and out on pages, view page thumbnails or “jump” to other pages. Pages can be printed or e-mailed with the click of a mouse. “Advanced interactive functions make this online directory far more useful than any book. It is organized to make it easy for online visitors to get right to the meat of their member search,” Smith said. Smith points out that one of the most valuable services the online directory provides is the direct links to members’ Web sites and e-mails. “With the touch of a finger, potential customers can instantly go from looking up a company or product to surfing their site or contacting them with a question or business proposal,” Smith said. NASGW’s members include wholesalers, manufacturers and independent sales representatives, both national and international, in the hunting and shooting sports, fishing equipment and accessories industries. The 2008 NASGW online directory is featured on www.nasgw.org and www.itemhq.org. “We’re very proud of this online directory and the great benefit it provides to our members and everybody in the sporting goods industry,” Smith said.
