Feature Products on your Website

September 30, 2008

The Feature Product block in the web editor area of your account allows you to easily pick products to display on your website.

Here is how you can add Featured Product Blocks to your website:
1) Add a block to your page
2) Select Featured Product as the type of content for the section
3) Search for the Supplier or product you want to feature
4) Click Save at the bottom of the page

You can specify either “medium image with description” or “small image and no description” when displaying the product.

Add multiple featured product blocks to a web page to quickly highlight products to your customers. Remember to periodically change the products to keep your content fresh. Added bonus: search engines will pick up on the product details to help boost your page rank.

Watch the video below for instructions on how to feature products on your website

Design Websites For Specific Customers

September 5, 2008

Website Tip!
Your DC account allows you to create as many websites as you like and we’ll host your domain names as well, FREE of charge! Take advantage of this valuable feature by creating target or niche sites in your DistributorCentral account.

Take a look at this site, http://mugs.dcdistributordemo.com
it’s an example of a niche website with only mugs and tumblers on it. This allows visitors who only want drinkware, the convenience of not having to filter though 1000’s of other products. So if you specialize in a specific area in the promotional products industry, whether it’s mugs, magnets, pens, bags, edibles, etc., create a website for it in your DistributorCentral account!

Here’s how to do this:
  • First create a Custom Catalog with just the specific products you want to display on your website. Click on the link below to watch a short video below that explains how to create custom catalogs.

  • Second, design a website in the web editor area of your account to target the specific products. To learn how to create a website, click on the Need Help button at the top of the page in your account, and watch some our website video tutorials.
  • Third, remove the All Products catalog that comes standard with your website, and replace it with the Custom Catalog you created
  • Fourth, map your domain name if you’ve purchased one, otherwise, just publish your site and you’re finished
