Product Descriptions - 55 words maximum, with up to 5 words in bold. If desired, advertisers can submit different descriptions in each section. Capitalization of words for emphasis is very limited. Advertisers may opt to limit their sales territory in bold print above the product description (this does not count in the 55-word limit). See the VOBB ad on the sample page linked above.
Image - max size 160 pixels wide x 144 high (jpg or non-animated gif). To maintain high page speeds, we compress the image tightly. I use Photoshop Expressions and can generally compress an image of this size to 5-6,000 bytes without much degradation. If desired, advertisers that supply relatively finished artwork we can easily crop, resize and compress may submit different images for each section listed. We prefer a tif or an uncompressed jpg or gif and will do the final compression and size if needed.
CAD, Specs & LEED® Icons - These icons identify advertisers with CAD details, specifications and LEED statements that meet the following criteria. In all cases, documents need to be accessible to our users without registration or a password. There is no charge for the icon. Following are the criteria:
- - the website has CSI-formatted 3-part specifications in an editable form (typically a Word .doc file or an rtf). PDF's do not qualify. If you need assistance in developing suitable specifications, we can refer you to several specification writers that frequently develop manufacturer specifications - often for a one-time cost of only $2-4,000.
- - editable drawings in a dwg or dxf format. PDF's do not qualify.
- - both of the above.
- - pdf or html statement describing how your products can contribute to LEED points.
Company Description - In addition to the specific section listings advertisers may submit a separate company description of up to 75 words. This will be used for the 4specs "Gold" contact search and regional searches. If the advertiser does not submit a separate description, 4specs will select the most appropriate 55-word product description for this search.
Plant Locations - As part of the regional search we will provide the designer a list of all plant locations (City State Zip). These will be made available to our users doing LEED and other regional searches. The link below will demonstrate the contact and regional search. Look for Dietrich and Hambro to see the additional plant listings.
Double Listings - Ads generally appear in the section twice, in alphabetical order - once on the top with the advertisers and again in the complete listing. Some smaller sections list ads only once if all the ads are "above the fold" when viewed on a 15" flat screen monitor.
