The media talents at Trade Only Design Library have not yet lost sight of what has been the real reason behind their success – quickly accessible narrative and graphical information about the stuff of our industry. Value is substance and TODL is the most substantial component of our marketing mix. The market screams ‘soft-sell’ like never before and daisycake is available to the TODL designer whenever and wherever. I really believe we have been successful in this funky market because of our exposure on TODL. TODL designers have used daisycake from Dubai to Dublin. When the market is diminished it is essential to expand the market.” N.M.- daisycake.com “Hakatai has worked with Trade Only Design Library (TODL) since 2004.

	MEMBERS "Our Interiors Dept. has found the Trade Only Design Library to be a great time-saving tool and I have highly recommended it to our NY office. TODL gives us the opportunity to see what’s new in the market without having to take up shelf space. Each manufacturer I’ve contacted through your site has responded courteously and promptly. I hope your site continues to add commercial resources. Thank You!" L.R. - HHPA “My experience with TODL (Trade Only Design Library) has been excellent. It is a very useful tool to have when time is tight and I need to find products for a project. I have also discovered some new manufacturers that I was previously unaware of and have subsequently ordered their catalogs for our library. TODL is an excellent marketing tool for manufacturers to use to expose their product to a wide array of designers. I’m sure it is more cost effective than sending out brochures, which target a broad market spectrum of people who may or may not have any use for the product. I strongly endorse the Trade Only Design Library and hope that it becomes an industry standard to offer products on it as a basic marketing tool.” J.K. - IIDA Associate - RTKL “I am writing to let you know what an incredible tool TODL has been for our firm. Our firm does Commercial and Public Works projects. TODL has enabled us to quickly generate folders of images for our clients to view and has enabled us to expedite our decision making process due to your well organized, informative web site. The Trade Only Design Library is a valuable tool in today’s complex design world.” C.G. - Gillis & Associates Architects, Inc. “TODL.com is a quick and easy resource to utilize when looking for product. It almost always provides results when looking for something uncommon, yet yields numerous possibilities when searching for something less specific. I have discovered several new companies by using this innovative website.” A.H. - HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates "Trade Only Design Library (TODL.com) has been a great visual resource for our company. We are an architectural firm that handles Health Care, Education, Government Buildings and Hospitality.

I have had the opportunity to receive catalogs, brochures and samples from a number of the companies featured in TODL and have expanded our own resource Library. J.M. - Leo A. Daly I love Trade Only Design Library. I use it all the time. As much as I usually hate getting weekly emails from companies, I always look forward to those from TODL. You keep them short enough that I can browse quickly and see if there is anything I can use. Julianne Stirling, ASID - Stirling Design Associates, LLC TODL has been a great resource for me for over 7 years. I’m constantly adding to our list of resources with items that TODL brings to our attention in the weekly email notifications.

Thanks, TODL and keep up the great work!” S.P. - Gresham Smith and Partners “I am writing to tell you how helpful TODL has been as a quick resource for my design practice.

Many thanks for your help.” J.P.- Allied ASID “Trade Only Design Library (TODL), with its weekly addition of so many new suppliers and resources, has been one of our firm’s primary resources for research and procurement of merchandise. Your comprehensive database of resources has saved our staff countless hours of researching merchandise and suppliers otherwise researched through the Internet or individual websites. Of significant note is TODL’s customer service department. Frequently, unable to find particular products or suppliers, we have turned to TODL for direction. You have not only found the product for us but provided the suppliers as well. I wish to commend your customer service department for all the support and direction provided. Once again, I wish to express our appreciation to TODL for its vast directory of suppliers and the many courtesies extended R.A.Lashua Interiors by Design through the years.” R.L. – IFDA- RA Lashua Interiors by Design LLC “Trade Only Design Library is a very helpful online design resource. We do healthcare (nursing homes, retirement communities, etc.) and hospitality. TODL introduces so many new products and manufactures that we were previously unaware of. By using TODL’s service, it allows my company to reduce our resource library’s space. I will continue using TODL.com as my design resource.” C.S. - Contract Environments, Inc. “TODL (Trade Only Design Library) has become a very valuable, time saving tool for me as I’ve watched the number of your resources increase.

Expansion of our knowledge and suppliers through your site has greatly enhanced our offerings.” K.B. - Studio Mehler “TODL is an invaluable aid to our firm in researching many items. We have found many sources that we would have never known about and that we have used extensively. We especially like the way we can print out a nice looking tear sheet for our clients.

Using TODL has widened our exposure to many different manufacturers and allowed us to quickly see the scope of what is available.
