Each year, SAGE presents industry suppliers and decorators with A+ and A rating awards based on distributor ratings collected in SAGE Online, SAGE Web, and SAGE Mobile, the industry’s most popular product research and business management solution.
This year, 893 companies received the top A+ rating, while another 207 received an A rating. A total of 45% percent of all active Advantage or Decorator Members in the SAGE database received an award this year. As part of the relationship between SAGE and PPAI, suppliers with SAGE ratings are also considered for eligibility in the industry’s annual PPAI Supplier Star Awards Competition.
“We are proud to offer these awards to those that have persevered and really raised the bar for the standard of quality, transparency, and integrity in the industry,” said SAGE President David Natinsky, MAS.
Awards are based solely on the distributor rating system that is part of SAGE Online, SAGE Web, and SAGE Mobile. The SAGE rating system is widely known within the industry for providing the most accurate and reliable supplier and decorator ratings.
Distributors can rate these companies at any time through SAGE or via the “Rate us now” link provided by both suppliers and decorators. They can only rate each company once, however, they may update their ratings at any time, providing the most accurate representation of their experiences. Rating awards are given each year based on the aggregate of distributor ratings and suppliers and decorators with an A+ or A aggregate rating are given an award.
Distributors using SAGE’s industry-leading research and business management tools can make more informed decisions about suppliers by accessing their current, real-time ratings, including distributor peer comments as well as full award information, including any additional industry awards, for each supplier.
Award-winning companies will have access to a variety of marketing collateral to promote their A+ or A rated status, including logos for their catalogs, websites, and email signatures. For more information, suppliers should contact their SAGE Account Advisor at 800.925.7243.
