As a SCM for a start-up company, adding new items (and vendors) to our customer offerings is a big part of my job, and having a resource like ThomasNet is awesome!

I recently attended your intro webinar and it was informative and helpful. I am looking forward to effectively utilizing the product.

This company has been around for over 100 years and It is a shame of what it has become... It has become a multilevel marketing scam. Their website inflates sales numbers, the true performance is only about 5% of their programs to their customers that actually work. They introduce multi levels of new products yearly, all of which do not work. The management and the sales teams are all used car salesmen, Yellow pages type, uneducated salesmen. They hire new management every few years to try and keep the process fresh... reality... This is a multi-level marketing scam. They hire as many new sales reps as they can per year, commission based only. They are motivated to sell sell sell... trained on how ThomasNet is the best company for Industrial Marketing. Reality... the salesman cannot make a living and Thomasnet will then churn them, keep the new clients and hire more fresh meat... as they say. The real losers of this scam company ThomasNet, are the customers who are signing up. ThomasNet over inflates performance data, costs to build the programs, costs to clients and has false reporting on all of their analytics. The analytics of their website are created to look like its performing. It does not produce any new business and or any new clients. Then the rep is told to make it look as it they have had a ton a new business to get the program renewed. ThomasNet should be ashamed on selling programs that do not work, then creating data to show that it does. Manufacturing businesses, and or any company trying to grow, should steer clear of using ThomasNet for anything and put their money into other marketing avenues that are a legit businesses working with clients to help them grow. ThomasNet is a huge corporation based in NYC because they have screwed their clients, and employees, for years. Good luck cancelling your contract also... their legal team is just waiting to sue you for the remainder of your contract. This is not your fathers Thomas Registry... This is 2019 multilevel Marketing and false reporting at its finest.

I strongly recommend ThomasNet to any industrial supplier, distributor, or service company who is interested in growing their business.

For the past eight years we have worked with ThomasNet in building our Internet marketing presence to capture more business opportunities from industrial buyers. I appreciate that ThomasNet enables us to customize our program to focus on specific products and gain a competitive advantage in our industry by choosing our ranking versus the competition. This program has generated several large accounts and qualified leads from buyers who are looking for specific products. We have a seasoned sales rep who takes the time to maximize the full potential of ThomasNet and make modifications when needed has also contributed to the success of the services.

ThomasNet fully developed our Online Catalog and seamlessly integrated it into our Website. We now consider our site to be an invaluable sales tool that provides elevated levels of interaction between our clients and us. Activity to our site is up 100% due to the additional content and SEO friendliness of the site. Most important of all is that sales and RFQs generated from our Online presence are up significantly and we attribute this directly to ThomasNet.

The tools for tracking our results have been instrumental in building our Internet marketing strategy (WebTraxs). We can see the clear difference ThomasNet makes in driving more visitors to our site. What's more, the ThomasNet users are a qualified, "ready to buy" audience. We are able to accurately measure the results from multi-media resources such as trade publications, trade shows, and other industrial directories. Time and again, ThomasNet stands out as the top resource in our marketing strategy.
