PPPC and SAGE have teamed up to provide the Canadian promotional products industry with the combined benefits of a PPPC membership and SAGE products and services.

As part of the relationship, all PPPC distributor members will receive a two-user subscription to SAGE Total Access plus membership to PPAI.

In addition, all PPPC supplier members will receive a SAGE Advantage Membership with their PPPC membership. This partnership provides the comprehensive benefits of PPPC with the cutting-edge technology solutions and business services provided by SAGE.

Canadian distributors now have both membership support and the industry-leading research and business management solution for one low price, backed by three of the leading organizations in the promotional products industry;

PPPC, SAGE, and PPAI. Canadian suppliers will now receive access to the entire Canadian marketplace, included in their PPPC membership.

Each PPPC distributor member will receive a two-user subscription to SAGE Total Access and a PPAI membership. Each PPPC supplier member will receive a SAGE Advantage Membership.

No, every year that a distributor renews they will receive a two-user subscription to SAGE Total Access and PPAI membership. Every year a supplier renews they will receive a SAGE Advantage Membership.

If you are already a subscriber of SAGE Total Access, you will receive one additional Total Access user license if you do not already have one. 
If your annual Total Access subscription renews prior to October 31, 2018, SAGE will extend your subscription at no additional cost through October 31, 2018 (the date PPPC membership expires).

If your annual Total Access subscription renews after October 31, 2018, then PPPC will extend your membership to the SAGE renewal date at no additional cost. In either case, SAGE will invoice you for your PPPC membership renewal. 
If you pay monthly for your SAGE Total Access subscription and you are already a PPPC member then SAGE will extend your subscription at no additional cost through October 31, 2018 (the date PPPC membership expires).

On September 1, 2018, you will receive a co-branded invoice from SAGE to renew your PPPC membership which will include your two-user subscription license for SAGE Total Access.

If your company is in Canada and you have a SAGE Total Access subscription but not a PPPC membership, you will automatically receive PPPC membership through your renewal date with SAGE. The PPPC membership will be concurrent with your Total Access subscription term. You will also receive an additional user concurrent with your Total Access subscription term if you do not already have one. SAGE will then invoice you for your PPPC membership renewal.

Your supplier services will continue like normal. If your SAGE membership expires prior to October 31, 2018, SAGE will extend your SAGE Advantage Membership to your PPPC renewal date of November 1, 2018.

You will receive a SAGE Advantage Membership through to your PPPC membership renewal date of October 31, 2018. SAGE will then invoice you for your PPPC membership renewal.

Unfortunately, you will not receive PPPC membership as part of this relationship. If you would like to take advantage of this relationship, please visit pppc.ca for more information on PPPC membership.

If you are a US or Canadian supplier that has both US and Canadian pricing/catalog, you will need two profiles with SAGE. The two profiles (US and Canada) will be covered under one SAGE Advantage Membership unless your US and Canadian divisions operate separately from each other, then you will need two SAGE Advantage Memberships.

We have created a streamlined process where PPPC members will receive a single invoice for membership and services. Distributors will receive an invoice for their PPPC membership, PPAI membership,SAGE Total Access subscription and any other SAGE services they have. Suppliers will receive an invoice for their PPPC membership and SAGE Advantage Membership. This streamlined process will begin in September 2018 and the invoice will come via email from SAGE. You will pay SAGE by following the instructions on the invoice.

This does not prevent you from using other product search solutions; however, SAGE is the leading product search solution in the promotional products industry and is now included with your PPPC membership.

Over the course of the next year, we will be adding French language support to certain SAGE services, including SAGE Web, SAGE Websites and Company Stores. In addition, French language support will be added to many client-facing materials including order forms in the Order Management module of SAGE Total Access and Email Campaigns. This effort has already begun with the introduction of French language sales presentations in SAGE Online 14. 

The products below will have native multilingual support. This means that labels will be translated by humans (not editable). Also, text (other than product data) will be entered by the user and fully changeable. Product data is machine-translated and then can be further edited by the user.
• Presentations 
• Orders 
• Email Campaigns - Custom 
• Product Data for key fields (product name, description, colors, etc.)

The products will have machine translation through browser technology added. This means that the translation will be done using an automated machine translation service. This may cause inaccurate or unexpected translations in some cases. Graphics and language contained within videos or other non-text elements will not be translated. This translation may require that a header bar be present at the top of the website showing the translation information and translation provider.
