An intricate part of i.s.Connect™ is a state-of-the-art

online store providing secure full shopping cart buying features.
Each dealer can easily customize their site with logos, color
schemes, marketing material and company messaging. Dealers can
select which specific categories they would like to offer,
including Hyperion Brand and OEM ink and toner. Each dealer has
the option to include any portion of over 30,000 office supplies
for instant shopping cart buying. Resellers can set customer
specific pricing, percentage base pricing and define shipping
charges.
The dealer’s customers will be able to:
• Access immediate ordering of over 30,000 office products

• Password sign-on to a secure ordering site
• View and receive customer specific pricing
• Ship to pre-saved or new addresses
• Create and save a customized supply closet with
frequently ordered items

Initial
set-up and ongoing assistance of this easy to initiate and use
eCommerce website will be aided by the Image Star IT professionals
who are available for technical help and marketing support. Kelly
continues, “Our goal is to help the dealer expand their selling
opportunities. The i.s.Connect™ system is set up to show instant
comparisons between the Hyperion and OEM products. Item numbers,
cross references and immediate cost savings are automatically
provided.”
As an added marketing tool, Image Star provides template-based
advertising material so the local dealer can easily customize and
disseminate high quality professionally designed marketing
material. Customized pricing for dealers can be included on your
advertising pieces. This can be extended to Image Star’s
exclusive Ultimate Blind Drop Shipping Program which allows their
resellers to make a personalized statement with each supply
delivery. Your company’s logo and two specialized messages
(header and footer) can be prominently displayed on each packing
slip. This free, exclusive customized logo program is available
to every Image Star reseller who receives next day delivery, while
paying for standard ground freight.
You and your customers can Go Green with Image Star’s Hyperion
Premium Imaging Supplies. The positive environmental effect of
offering a green alternative to your customers will increase earth
sustainability by helping to lessen the 350 million empty toner
and ink cartridges that are currently being thrown away into
landfills.

Founded in 1992, Image Star has a history of taking care of
business, by providing all of their customers’ supply needs.
“Image Star’s continued success is based on our strong commitment
to our customers. We listen to their needs and develop our
service offering to meet the current demands of the marketplace.
The i.s.Connect technology platforms increase eCommerce presence
and support managed print initiatives,” says Jeff Johnson, Image
Star President.
As end-users demand lower costs for office printing, it is
essential for dealers to partner with a company that provides
competitive pricing of quality supplies. Image Star’s new
i.s.Connect program expands the supply management process.
Charlie Antell, Director, Business Development of Image Star,
explains, “Our partnership with MWAi creates a comprehensive MPS
solution for the dealer and the end-user.”
