ThomasNet’s internet infrastructure is already set up.   You can’t get a more targeted marketing campaign, for you are able to tap into our existing market share with pinpoint keyword and geographic positioning for your exact supplying capabilities in the areas that have proven traffic. 

In addition to being the results for the above mentioned websites the ThomasNet products are also the results for other portals on the Internet.  For example the results on a company or product/service search on www.asme.org (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) is the ThomasNet.com database! 

The Thomas Industrial Newsroom feeds news to Google News, Yahoo News, Alta Vista News, Dow Jones, Lexis Nexis and to many more to list here.  The news from ThomasNet is also distributed right to the desktops of industrial decision-makers through RSS feeds, bypassing the search engines & email entirely.  There are ongoing emails, newsletters, Blogs and more.

We also help convert traffic through content management tools for online catalogs and CAD Drawing solutions. 

• Catalog Navigator, an online product catalog that is parametrically searchable for visitors and that is search engine friendly.  If you have a catalog it should be online with advanced search functionality.  Visit http://www.catalognavigator.com/.
• CAD Solutions enable detailed product searching and configurations on the fly, with simple, direct insertion capabilities:  
  • PartSpec – is used to find mechanical and electrical parts
  • PlantSpec – is used to select plant-design components and systems
  • CADBlocks – is used to find architectural and building products”

The CAD products can be coupled with the Catalog Navigator solution.  This will enable users to navigate by product, technical attributes, material, trade names and other criteria.  The products that match a search can be compared side by side.  Visit http://www.cadregister.com/.
