GENERAL INFORMATION

What kind of firms are listed on the PlantFloor ?

The PlantFloor Teleportal features the services of over 50,000 manufacturing firms.  These are job shops, engineering service firms, manufacturing concerns, and miscellaneous others in the precision manufacturing and supporting industries.

 

Maximum Ad Run

Ads run for a maximum of three months, or until the agreed-upon number of presentations have been delivered. 

 

Special Charges Relating to Click-Through Advertising

Click-through advertising is handled by our maintaining a single page or pages within the PlantFloor domain. This can be prepared by your team, or by ours. On that page(s) you may place graphics, your own click-throughs to your site, or whatever. We charge $45 per hour for this work, $100 per month for the first page, and $50 per month for subsequent pages. The first $100 of this monthly charge is credited against clickthrough charges. 

 

Who visits the PlantFloor ?

Over 100,000 visitors can be found strolling the grounds of the Trade Show in a month. This number is rising steadily. 

We see mostly buyers rather than "surfers". Our visitors are people who are looking for one particular resource to provide them with something. They may be looking for subcontractors to help handle overloads. They may be people on an offshore oil rig trying to find a valve. They may be people looking for a new machine tool to replace one they have. They may be people looking to sell an old piece of equipment. 

Men and women in their working age come to the Trade Show. We believe most are married adults, with families. We believe most of them to be 18 to 55 years of age. 
 
 

Method of Counting Visitors
We use Webtrends to count unique visitor sessions to clickthrough pages.  Banners, buttons, and text banner counters are incremented each time they are presented to a viewer.
