FAQs

Technical Library Services is not a traditional product directory.  Unlike product directories, we have developed a unique, dual-fold marketing strategy which involves extensively showcasing your company in multiple slideshows, galleries and categories on our site. 

We then embark on a progressive direct marketing campaign by introducing your company, via a series of project-specific newsletter editorials and press releases to thousands of subscribing architectural and design practices and other building professionals during the year.

We are proactive and spend an inordinate amount of time introducing ourselves and our clients to the building profession marketplace.  We do this by distributing thousands of newsletters, press releases and product information updates to the building and design community every month.

It varies, but our continual newsletter, client press release and information update activity drives around 75,000 unique visitors to our site - on a monthly basis!

We provide architects with information on multiple products ideally suited to their project workload.  This means we undertake a professional third-party intermediary marketing role, making us far less threatening than a sales organization.  We also offer architects and designers a free product sourcing service, saving them valuable research time.

We provide you with the ability to access our database to distribute information about your company.  We also provide you with an outstanding showcase for your company and products. 

Your company will be evaluated by thousands of architects, designers and other building professionals during the course of a year, resulting in substantial brand awareness and specifier loyalty for your products or service - leading to more specifications and eventual sales!

Our service is highly affordable, as our annual fee is substantially less than you would pay for local newspaper or trade journal advertising.  Plus, you are assured that your company is introduced to a target audience, who have already expressed an interest in receiving information from us about your type of product or service.

No!  We undertake a pure marketing, rather than a sales function and therefore never directly become involved in sales, other than to refer architectural and designer leads to our clients. 

Every featured listing on our site links to the client's profile page, which we design.  Your Profile Page includes descriptive text, an expandable image gallery, links to all product categories and special feature sections showcasing your company on our site and full contact details for your company, including clickable email and web links.

Our site is entirely pictorial, therefore we will take 20 or 30 photographs - if you have them.  We can normally lift these images directly from your website, providing they are of sufficiently high resolution and at least 500 x 500 pixels.  Alternatively, you can send us a selection of your preferred images as an email attachment.

It varies, depending on which marketing plan you select.  For example, our Showcase Plan provides you with 20,000 mailings during the year.  Our other plans provide between 50,000 and 100,000 annual mailings.

Yes!  Obviously, your online showcasing covers all markets, but we will directly market your company within any of our geographical regions - see Databases Section

You just need to confirm your willingness to use our service, either by phone or by email and we will review your website, download a selection of suitable images (or, you may send these to us), design your profile page and showcase your company throughout our site.  Once this has been done we will send you an email, together with our invoice.
