Vertis Communications Recognized By Lowes Companies, Inc. As Vendor Of The Year
Marketing Communications Company Earns Accolades for its Customer Service and Targeted Solutions for Second Consecutive Year
Baltimore (April 12, 2010)-Vertis Communications a results-driven marketing communications company that delivers inventive advertising, direct marketing and interactive solutions to prominent brands across North America, announced today that it has been named as Lowe’s Companies’ 2009 Vendor of the Year.
In 2009, Vertis partnered with Lowe’s to manage the company’s National Preprint program, providing a comprehensive suite of value-added services, including media planning and placement solutions, advertising production technology, direct marketing, and grand opening and re-merchandising programs.
“In addition to their exceptional day-to-day customer service and attention to detail, Vertis was extremely responsive when we made changes to our promotional calendar. The company was the first to step up and say that they would accommodate our needs in a cost-effective manner that would also improve our ROI,” said Robin Gambill, director of advertising production for Lowe’s Companies. “Vertis’ adept proofing practices were instrumental in ensuring that the end product was created with the highest quality result. The company has been and continues to be a solid partner for Lowe’s and we congratulate them on their award.”
Lowe’s vendor awards are designed to recognize outstanding service and superior quality of work, while raising the bar for supplier relationships industry-wide. Last year, Vertis’ Shakopee, Minn., facility was recognized for its unrivaled support of Lowe’s grand opening and re-merchandising programs.
“We are honored to be recognized by Lowe’s for the second year in a row as its Vendor of the Year,” said Doug Mann, senior vice president of operations at Vertis Communications. “Vertis is committed to delivering exceptional customer service and operational excellence, and this recognition further confirms that our clients are seeing our dedication to not only meet, but surpass their needs.”
