CLEARWATER, Fla., May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Google has become the standard for search on the Internet. Its optimization technology makes it possible for people to find what they are looking for with ease. Now, a company called TODL.com (the Trade Only Design Library, Inc.) has achieved the same status in the world of interior designers, architects, facility managers and other trade professionals.

As the industry's largest product research and specification database online or in print, TODL.com showcases over 200,000 products from more than 900 manufacturers. The reason so many manufacturers utilize the site is simple: they gain the ability to offer their products and services to the right buyers at the exact moment they are researching them.

"A listing on TODL is like having a billboard in just the right place with the added bonus of getting a record of who is taking a look," says Chuck Mack, principal of Chuck Mack Design, a furniture designer and manufacturer based in Elk Rapids, Michigan. "My listing on TODL has generated nearly two thousand views in a few months from which I have gleaned hundreds of qualified leads."

Professional buyers can source products of all types, price points, styles and applications. That's why over 31,000 professionals use TODL to source architectural and building materials, FF & E (furnishings, fixtures & equipment), final decorative accessories and more.

And the numbers speak for themselves. Professional buyers download 75,000 product images every day. This isn't idle browsing by the general public. These image views are conducted in a password-protected area only accessible by registered designers who must meet rigorous qualification criteria. Yet the site receives millions of hits a month and more importantly, generates abundant sales for its manufacturers.

"As a specialty manufacturer I was looking for a way to get my message in front of the largest qualified audience I could find, and TODL has done that for me in a big way," says Stewart Langer, owner of UroGlass, a TODL client since 2004. "I have been specified for many projects thanks to TODL. I'll be a big fan and a listing manufacturer for a long time to come."

Working with Large and Small Manufactures Alike

Because TODL isn't an e-commerce website, manufacturers and services to the trade can fit TODL into their current distribution and channels without any conflict.

Specialty manufacturers use this service to put their goods in front of far more qualified buyers than their budgets normally allow. Larger manufacturers harness TODL to continue their brand appeal and keep their vast product lines in front of buyers every day.

"Regardless of the size of the manufacturer, unless their products or catalogs are sitting in front of the designer at the moment of research and specification, they can be losing out on sales," says Stacey Tiveron, founder and CEO. "TODL provides a single location to list products and services, ensuring that the designer becomes aware of them at the crucial moment. It's incredibly fulfilling to watch that interaction every day."

TODL is now celebrating its 10th anniversary and from all appearances, it has a lot to celebrate.
