The Woodturning Resource Directory
Vendor Information
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose
of The Woodturning Resource Directory?
The main goal of The Woodturning Resource Directory is to make it easier
for individuals shopping for woodturning tools and supplies to find the
vendors that sell those products. We plan on doing so by distributing
the Directory for free, including as many vendors as possible, and being
as detailed as possible about what each vendor carries.
It's not our intent to replace your company's catalog. Rather, we hope
to act as a facilitator to bring new customers to you and existing customers
back.
What are the
benefits of being listed in The Woodturning Resource Directory?
Exposure, exposure, exposure! By listing your company in The Woodturning
Resource Directory you will put your company in front of thousands of
woodturners looking to purchase woodturning tools and supplies. The Woodturning
Resource Directory is designed to help our readers find the products they
want and if your company would like to reach more new customers, then
listing in The Woodturning Resource Directory is the most economical way
to do so.
Another benefit is that by listing in The Woodturning Resource Directory,
your company will also be included in our online directory for free as
long as you continue to list in our print Directory.
My company
is a manufacturer of woodturning tools and/or supplies. Should I list
my company in The Woodturning Resource Directory?
Yes you should. Your retail partners shouldn't be the only ones promoting
your products.
Are only
woodturning retail vendors included in the directory, or can other company's
whose market is woodturners be included as well?
We are not excluding other types of merchants or organizations from being
included in The Woodturning Resource Directory. We plan on having directories
for Schools / Individual Instructors, Woodturning Clubs, and Woodturning
Publishers. Woodturning Clubs will be listed for free. Please see Company
Types for more information.
Who is the targeted
audience?
We are reaching woodturners. The exact same audience
that you and your company is trying to reach.
What types
of listings are there?
There are two types of listings, the Basic Listing,
and the Complete Listing. See below for more information.
What
is the difference between a Basic Listing and a Complete Listing?
The biggest difference between the two is how much
information about your company is shown in The Woodturning Resource Directory.
The Basic Listing is an economical listing but your company is only shown
in the alphabetical directory of vendors. (See below for an example
of each listing type).
The Complete Listing includes the Basic Listing, but
allows your company to be included in the product directory. So not only
will your company information be shown, but when a potential customer
is looking for a specific product, they will also come across your company's
information in the product directory.
What does a listing
look like?
With both the Basic and Complete Listing your company
will be included in the vendor directory sorted in alphabetical order.
That listing will include your company name, address, phone, website,
email, and a brief description of your company (50 words or less). See
below for an example:

In the above category, Abrasives is the main category, and
Sanding Disks is a sub-category. In order to help our readers find exactly
what they're looking for, we plan on having as detailed product categories
and sub-categories as possible. Our readers can look in the above category
and then go to the alphabetized listing of vendors to find the contact
information for that vendor.
What
is the deadline for advertising and being listed?
The deadline for advertising and listings is November 12, 2004. Please
see our advertising page for
more information about advertising.
How much does it cost
to get listed?
The Basic Listing is $50 per issue. The Complete Listing,
which also includes a Basic Listing is priced based on how many categories
your company is listed on. It doesn't matter how many sub-categories are
under each category, the price is only based on the number of categories.
