Guide Media Kit
IntroductionThe MP Buyers Guide has proven to be a valuable resource for association members and other industry professionals who use the Internet to locate products and services for the entire corrosion control industry. This information resource uses powerful search technology that continually indexes the content of participating supplier websites. Users have the option of performing keyword-driven searches that mirror traditional search engines, or a category-specific search. Both methods produce the most relevant results on the Web.
The MP Buyers Guide also incorporates a desktop search mechanism, allowing visitors to download a free application that makes the directory accessible from their computer desktop. In addition, the directory has implemented Request For Information (RFI) functionality, allowing visitors to contact suppliers with the click of a button. Both features are becoming increasingly popular among users of the MP Buyers Guide and are a valuable business opportunity for suppliers to advertise in the directory.
Members of the NACE International have access to the MP Buyers Guide on a daily basis. But the directory isn't limited to association members. Other engineering, maintenance, consulting, research, and educational professionals are using the directory as well. These industry professionals spend $276 billion a year on products and services your company offers.
And when these professionals are ready to buy, they turn to the MP Buyers Guide to cut through the clutter of traditional search engine results.
The MP Buyers Guide has been created specifically for serious buyers of your product or service. Purchasing a listing in the directory ensures that your company's brand and message are delivered directly to those that matter most to your business. NACE International is recognized as a leader in the industry. And engineering, maintenance, consulting, research, and educational professionals turn to the association as an informational source in the industry.
Your completed listing in the MP Buyers Guide will feature your company logo and description, contact information and company website and e-mail link. The listing will be grouped into categories of your choice to enable efficient searching.
