Corporate Incentive Solutions Announces Expansion Into New York Marketplace

New Office Increases Client Base and Sales Staff Through Merger With Marketing Innovators

Corporate Incentive Solutions (CIS), an integrated incentive company that provides promotional products, incentive travel, and meeting logistics services, today announced that it has entered the New York market through a merger with New York-based Marketing Innovators. Richard Spector, vice president of strategic development at CIS, also announced that Suzan Bresler, founder of Marketing Innovators, would become team leader of the New York office.

"This new office gives us a major presence in the vital New York market," comments Spector. "During her time at Marketing Innovators, Suzan Bresler has assembled an impressive roster of clients and a top-notch sales staff. The addition of Suzan and her team to the CIS family provides enormous opportunities. We are delighted that she will be staying on to help guide the New York operation."

Bresler began her career at Don Howard Associates before launching Suzan Bresler Promotions in 1982, which was later renamed Marketing Innovators. The company has grown impressively, with sales volume reaching the multi-million dollar range and an account base of numerous Fortune 500 and 100 companies. As part of Corporate Incentive Solutions, the New York sales team will continue selling promotional products, but will now have the opportunity to cross-sell travel programs and meeting logistics services through the same channel, a cornerstone of the company's strategy. This cross-selling opportunity will allow CIS to increase its client base, as well as attract additional sales reps.

"CIS's strong executive team and innovative strategy of offering travel packages alongside traditional promotional products will allow the New York team to significantly increase its sales volume, and upsell existing customers," says Bresler. "I am excited to take advantage of the new opportunities that CIS will provide."
