About ASI
Advertising Specialty Institute – or ASI – is the largest media and marketing organization serving the advertising specialty industry. But what, exactly, does ASI do?
To understand that, as well as ASI's mission, you should know a little bit about promotional products and the major participants involved in the industry.
Promotional products are practical, entertaining, or decorative products imprinted with an advertiser's name, logo, slogan, or message and given away. Think of all those freebies like mugs and T-shirts you get at trade shows. These products are kept by recipients, offering great exposure for the advertiser's message.
The two major players in the advertising specialty industry are suppliers (importers, manufacturers) and distributors (sellers). Supplier firms use ASI print and electronic resources to market products to distributor salespeople, while distributor firms use ASI print and electronic resources to locate supplier firms and to market services to end-buyers (promotions and advertising buyers).
ASI's mission, then, is to bring together these participants by providing catalogs, information directories, newsletters, magazines, Web sites and databases, and offering interactive e-commerce, marketing and selling tools.
End-buyers who work closely with the industry often buy only from ASI distributors, as they know that generally those holding an ASI number are reputable in their dealings and have access to the most products and suppliers.
ASI History
In 1950, a grad student, named Joe Segel, was working his way through school selling promotional products. At the time, the industry had no central resource for finding products and the suppliers who made them. Segel researched and published his own directory, calling it the Advertising Specialty Register?. ("Ad specialty" is another term for promotional product.) He named his company the Advertising Specialty Institute.
Segel sold ASI in 1964 to Maurice Cohn, at the time the owner of the largest advertising specialty supplier. While Segel went on to found other companies, like the Franklin Mint and QVC, Cohn sold his supplier interests and dedicated himself to improving and expanding ASI. The Cohn family, now headed by Maurice's son, Norman, still owns the company, which has grown to 450 employees. For over 50 years, ASI has continuously led the industry in research, publications and developing marketing tools.
How big an industry is this?
The the Advertising Specialty Institute's exclusive annual industry sales estimate for 2011 shows that promotional products sales were $18.5 billion, up 6.2% versus 2010.

而申請美國禮品協會ASI會員必須具備美國公司，具有美國本土公司資質才可以申請，再者美國飛線電話、公司聯邦稅號、銀行賬戶、專用信箱地址，不是缺一不可，但是經營業務要事半功倍。
增補知識：注冊美國公司類型選擇
大多數的小型或成長中的企都是從一般的股份有限公司(C 股份有限公司)開始的 。下列有五種基本的企業類型。
1）、獨資公司
2）、股份有限公司 (C型 股份有限公司)
3）、S型股份有限公司
4）、責任有限公司
5）、非營利組織
許多在美國運營的非美國公司最常選擇有限公司（corporation），其原因是這類公司比較容易加入新的投資者，並且將來有可能使公司上市。因此，有限公司是一種常見的公司類型。另一個常見的公司類型是有限責任公司（limited liability company, LLC）。 美國稅法規定，非美國居民不能是S型有限公司的股東，因此非美國居民不能選擇S型公司。
申請ASI會員注冊普通股份有限公司形式即可！
非美國居民成立美國公司
按照美國法律，世界上任何地方的人都可以成立美國公司，如果該公司不在美國境內運營，他就不需要繳納任何聯邦稅，但是，他要繳納州的保持費用。
