SampleBoard.com has just launched the supplier directory

Using SampleBoard’s web editor, designers mix and match items, including images of supplier products, to create digital moodboards, thus showcasing real life products in conceptual context.

What is the supplier directory?

The supplier directory is a list of suppliers to the creative industries (interior design, graphic and web, fashion, wedding planning and landscaping). Suppliers supply up to a 100 product images of their items for our SampleBoard members to use in the web editor

You can search suppliers by keyword, design discipline, city or country and browse supplier product images through their public library. You are able to add your favourite products to your own personal image library by clicking ‘add to my library’. This enables you to build your own library with all your favourite products!

The supplier’s public profile consists of the following:

- Supplier company name and logo

- Contact information (phone, city, country, email address and company website)

- Library of product images

With a supplier account you can:

- Maintain and edit your company profile and contact information

- Be listed and found in the supplier directory

- Upload your product images to be used by designers in the moodboard web editor

- Maintain and edit your product specification details such as product name, description, available colors and cost of items

- View and track reports on products used by designers

- Generate word-of-mouth buzz

- Sponsor a competition and get involved with the creative design community

Since competitions are the most compelling form of viral advertising for a business, sponsoring a contest allows you to harness the power of our creative community and in turn increase product awareness and generate viral buzz!

Competitions are a great way to instantly boost your products' popularity and promote your company to our entire user base, which includes five different design disciplines.

For the duration of the contest, users are interacting with, talking about, and generating content and moodboards with your products. As the entries roll in, each entry is essentially a full colour display ad that remains indefinitely on SampleBoard.com, gaining exposure via our creative community as well as through search engines.

Please feel free to contact me through our website should you need more information on sponsoring a competition or have any other supplier related queries.
