A business-to-business company providing uniforms and identify (logo) apparel and promotional products to a variety of industries -- including the retail, transportation, and manufacturing industries -- parent company, Catalog Sales, has been providing professional, personal service to its customers for 26 years, recently making the move from a primarily direct-mail catalog business to the Internet.

Allstates' Internet presence brings state-of-the art and ease of shopping to business customers who don't want to spend extended time on a Web site, hitting the "back" button or using the clumsy, tedious, and repetitive drop down menus.

"We've designed the navigation and the purchase process of Allstates’ Web site so that it enhances the shopping experience, making a Web visit a pleasure rather than a chore," said Vice President of Marketing Rick Kurman, "by eliminating steps and simplifying the size and color ordering to a single screen." "Our customers no longer have to repeat step after step to order different sizes or colors of the same item. It's a "one-click" process. Simple!"

Additionally, the allstatesuniforms.com Web site continues its "customer easy" theme to the product embellishment with logos or text. "We’ve made personalizing your items easy with just a couple of clicks and you're done.” After placing all your items into the shopping cart and you're using a custom logo, you will be prompted to upload the logo. Use the simple pop-up window to find your logo on your computer and send it to us. One click, one logo, and you're done!"

The company offers both state-of-the art embroidery as well as its own special screen printing process that ensures durability and long wear. "Whatever embellishment our customers choose, we guarantee them the best results."

"Our goal," said Kurman, "is to provide customers with the best and simplest Web site to purchase all of their uniform and image apparel items without wasting their precious time and trying their patience with redundancy. “Business customers shouldn't spend more time or energy online than on the phone, he added. "Our site was developed with this simple philosophy -- and isn't that what the Web is all about?"

In addition to the new site, the companies other operating subsidiaries are: Cheap Aprons (www.cheapaprons.com), providing uniforms and accessories to the Hospitality, Food Service, and Restaurant industry, and Affordable Images (www.thecorporatechoice.com) providing embroidered and screenprinted apparel, imagewear, and promotional products for all types of corporations.
