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.

This video is meant as a supplement to the current resources to help Customer Service agents understand the DistributorCentral system.
You can see this video in your Supplier DC account, when you click on the Video Tutorials button across the top of the screen.

Cool Website Tip
Did you know that you can easily email links to your customers for products on your DistributorCentral website? Give it a try!

2.
The images will automatically be hyperlinked to the details page for the corresponding product on your website, where customers can learn more about the product and place an order for it.

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, www.distributorcentral.com/websites/mugsandtumblers
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 (see the Users Guide to learn how to do this, or watch the Quick Custom Catalogs Video Tutorial)
- Second, design a website in the web editor area of your account to target the specific products (watch the tutorial How To Create Your Own Website to learn how to do this)
- 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
If you have any questions or want to learn more about this, just give us a call or email info@distributorcentral.com.
