“Sampro has been an amazing addition to our team. Along with growing our sales, they continually provide insights into the industry and give guidance on ways to expand our brand. They are passionate and dedicated and always make themselves available to our questions and ideas.”

Diana DeSousa General Manager of KRINK

The Sampro team has represented our company for over 30 years. Their immense expertise and historical knowledge in all aspects of the business inform everything they do. They are able to share varied viewpoints on a deal or market issue and give the best advice in tackling many of the challenges that we manufacturers face. This is what makes working with them so invigorating, educational and productive! I depend on Sampro for keeping our company informed on trends & what is happening industry-wide and especially for putting forth our company sales agenda with great enthusiasm and success!

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

“Sampro isn’t a rep group, they are an intimate partner to both suppliers and retailers. Their approach, marketing savvy and industry insight provides us with guidance which continually produces verifiable sales growth. “Above & Beyond” doesn’t begin to describe the service we receive from the Sampro team.”

Shawn Szirbik Owner of Hull’s Art Supply & Framing

We have been working with Sampro for many years and they bring the highest level of service excellence and a success driven passion to their mission. “Relationship” and, “Partnership” are too often footballed ideals that are more hot air than genuine. The opposite is true with Sampro. They bring respect, deep industry experience and, sense of care to the suppliers and customers that they represent. They in fact, “walk the walk”. They understand that success is a mutual and long-term success is a journey between true partners who are willing to genuinely invest and dedicate time, resources and expertise.”

Steve Kenney Former President of Artist & Craftsman

50 years of family tradition in the art materials’ industry…”, truly impressive and a great milestone! Congratulations and thank you, Michael, Scott & Abe, and your support staff for many years of guidance, education and consideration you’ve provided. Your thorough knowledge of our industry and the “players” has been invaluable and greatly appreciated. We’re looking forward to many more years!
