Sarasota, FL. Repatron announced that outdoor sales agency The Holton Sales Group, headquartered in Duluth MN, has launched their new website using the Repatron service for Rep/Sales Agencies. The new site is online at www.holtonsalesgroup.com .

The Holton Sales Group is an award winning sales agency servicing the Upper Midwest region of the US for national manufacturers in outdoor, running and footwear. They represent leading brands such as Vibram Five Fingers, Smartwool, Tilley and Probar. Principals of the agency, Jim and Cindy Holton are joined by Sales Reps Leigh Miles and Gary Grey. Dedicated back office and showroom support is provided by office managers Jennifer Swanson and Laura Kurth. Repatron provides affordable and innovative sales agency branding/dealer support websites specifically for the outdoor industry. The service is available as a cloud offering and is built using industry leading Google technology. The Repatron service for Rep/Sales Agencies is currently being offered at the introductory price of $610.

“I’m glad to be working with the The Holton Sales Group” says Peter Pawlus, Head of Client Satisfaction at Repatron. “It is easy to see that Jim and Cindy have a well run agency and I can vouch they are great to work with. We definitely share a get it done attitude. www.holtonsalesgroup.com is a site where we were able to incorporate several web apps and the latest learnings we have from a technology and an outdoor rep perspective. The ability to learn and then rapidly incorporate improvements into the Repatron sites gives us an advantage over the older build it and watch it rot websites.”

“At this point, every rep/sales agency should have a website. That is the new minimum in the industry. You then step above your peers when you add dealer support functionality to an already professional branding website. If done properly with a service like Repatron, it adds a new level of professionalism to reps and sales agencies and provides a higher level of value-add for their retailer customers.”
