TODL


MANUFACTURERS “We love TODL and tell everyone we meet that needs marketing. You guys are the best bang for the buck especially in these crazy economic times.” D.K. - Aluma Designs LLC “We have been utilizing TODL.com since it’s inception in 1997. In fact, we were one of the first manufacturers to sign up with TODL. We have found TODL to be an extremely valuable resource to reach our target audience and consistently receive numerous qualified leads. We appreciate the fact that all of the leads we receive from TODL.com are already “pre-screened” and qualified, legitimate leads. We are extremely pleased with our long-standing relationship with TODL.com.” R.M. - Decorative Crafts "Our pages on Todl and the email blasts to the designers have branded us all over the world. Since being in the program we are being specified into nationally prominent jobs with our high end faux finish one-of-a-kind tin panels. Through Todl,we have received 100's of inquiries from designers around the world and the cost is negligible versus the results. I wish all our marketing programs had this kind of return on investment…” G.S. - The American Tin Ceilings Co. “I have been advertising my company with TODL for the past four years and it has provided my company and products great national exposure. It also provides a useful tracking system which categorizes products viewed and prospect clients contact information." D.G. - Jagoli “We recently re-enlisted with TODL.com for another year and that in itself says a lot about the service you have provided us. I have always been impressed by the quality of the product presentation both on your website and the emails. TODL.com has a very good grasp on how to get your product in front of the design community and at the same time getting the manufacturer a ton of leads in which to follow up on to increase their business. When I first considered signing up with TODL I remember thinking ‘if I were an architect or interior designer I would certainly visit the TODL.com website for inspiration and product information’.” J.R. - S&S Craftsmen, Inc. “I have no time to do active marketing as the owner and creator of Alchemical Wallpapers, so TODL has been perfect for me. I keep getting surprised on the amount of interest we receive each month. Being on TODL for 5 years now, my database is full of designers I never would have reached on my own. I continue to list with TODL because it pays for itself.” J.D. - Alchemical Wallpaper “Design Kollection signed up with Todl.com in March 2009, and we have been very encouraged by the response we have received so far. We have already closed on two projects which are directly linked to designers finding our products on Todl.com. Our investment for the one year listing was paid back in 3 months. We see it as a much better lead generator & return on investment than standard online advertising. We like the fact that the todl.com listing can by tailored to any company size and budget. In coordination with other marketing activities like trade shows you can purchase added exposure such as email features to maximize the effect of your activities.” M.P. - Design Kollection “TODL has proven to be a valuable asset in my overall marketing program and provides access to a large audience that would otherwise be difficult to access. Especially valuable are the e-mail blasts with specific product information. I additionally subscribe to the pre-show e-mail blast in advance of the Hospitality Design Show as part of my trade show advance marketing program. I recommend TODL as part of an overall brand marketing strategy.” S.O. - Kenyon Custom “After basic internet advertising failed to provide any concrete leads at significant expense, we joined TODL.com five years ago. There is no question in my mind that TODL.com provide excellent access to my target market and proves it every day with contact information I can use. In five years of looking, I’ve found no equal to TODL.com in the marketplace. You won’t be disappointed, we haven’t been.” R.F. - AmeriTec Lighting “LAMPS PLUS Professionals is a trade program designed with the active interior designer in mind and we have consistently found TODL to be a very good online venue for connecting with this core audience. We have run several e-mail campaigns through TODL and the results often surpass our expectations. These campaigns are typically very successful in generating qualified leads. We look forward to continuing the partnership with TODL that has been in place for several years. TODL continues to be a solid platform for the LAMPS PLUS Professionals program to showcase our lighting and home décor product lines.” A.H. - LAMPS PLUS “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! 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.” S.L. - UroGlass “We've just signed on for our second year with TODL.com. Even in a down economy we were able to earn back the listing investment and look forward to lots more this year. As a designer myself, I know how busy things get and turning to TODL.com is a wonderful way to research the market and find products 24/7. As a manufacturer, I appreciate that our furniture is made available to professional designers and architects on their schedules. TODL.com brings the showroom to the professional.” L.D. - Tesori Designs Inc. “I have been totally blown away by the amount of leads TODL generated for my business and I was unprepared by the response we received. When you join TODL be prepared for overwhelming results. My family was not in favor of us joining TODL but I persisted and now they recognize the value of this relationship. I do not know any other company that can generate leads of this quality. This truly was money well spent.” T.M. - Current Flame Electric Fireplaces “TODL has turned out to be a fantastic marketing tool for our furniture line Pure Design Inc. We are reaching designers and architects at TODL that we would not normally have the opportunity to interact with without this resource. The on-line marketing that TODL does to promote us reaches qualified buyers internationally. This service and exposure directs viewers directly to our site. We have witnessed a large increase of hits to our site since we have become members, and are truly pleased with our TODL experience!” A.M. - PURE by Ami McKay “TODL has provided tremendous exposure and creditability for our company to active specifiers. TODL quickly offers the hurried specifier qualified products for consideration. The world wide web is vast, so in response TODL has assembled a manageable website which presents suitable products for the design professional.” T.W. - Cherry Tree Design “TODL’S focus on quality and breadth of content separates it from the 'product marketing companies'. The media talents at TODL 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 TODL since 2004. Our listing generates positive responses, as well as direct inquiries after our products are featured in TODL emails. The TODL staff is helpful and easy to work with.” A.C. - Hakatai Enterprises, Inc. “We rely on TODL for reaching new customers and updating our products for those buyers already familiar with us. TODL is an excellent value when compared with much of the other advertising options and reaches buyers at their desk top. Best of all TODL shows you who’s been looking.” B.K. - Knowlton Brothers “First and foremost I want to tell you and EVERYONE at TODL how happy I am with your organization. What I love the most about TODL is instant gratification - seeing my leads develop right before my eyes… (can’t do that with a magazine!) I remember the first day we went live and just watching in amazement. I now have a list - or leads - of over 3,500 legit designers and counting...” M.P. - Perry Design “My experience with TODL has been excellent. We have been with TODL for over a year and I believe that it has contributed to the quality of website leads we have received, as well as assisted greatly in spreading the word about our product.” C.Y. - Richard Schultz Design “As a listing manufacturer with TODL for 7 years, we are quite satisfied with the results we get from our trade marketing program through TODL. Our company consistently gets about 100 unique visitors per month from the basic TODL listing plus up to 200 requests for samples every time we do featured emails. The staff at TODL are very helpful as well.” J.H. - Duro-Design Cork & Bamboo Flooring ”As a manufacturer of custom designed decorative lighting fixtures we are always looking for new ways to communicate with the design community. We are extremely pleased with the service and results we have received from our advertising campaigns in the Trade Only Design Library. Their staff is very customer focused and very easy to deal with. Leads are quickly communicated to us electronically allowing us to in turn contact potential clients quickly.” M.B. - Unilight “Our company, the Spencer Marston Billiards Co., joined your ranks in 2005. We were hesitant that we’d see the kind of leads necessary to get an ROI on our advertising dollars, but some designers we had worked with were so convinced TODL was a place we needed to be, that we decided to go for it. We’ve referred another business to your company already because we feel so strongly that TODL is a place we’ll need to be as our industry continues to change.” D.S. - Spencer Marston Billiards Company “FLOR is extremely pleased with TODL's ability to provide us with valued designers that might not otherwise have found us. TODL generates hundreds of leads for us, many of which turn into members of FLOR's Design Program and become happy, satisfied customers. And TODL's level of service makes our job easy.” P.S. - FLOR
	MEMBERS "Our Interiors Dept. has found TODL 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 "I am not a computer lover however I, like many designers, have realized how important it is to have access to products quickly & efficiently - especially when you live in a place like Maui with no showrooms down the road! TODL was the first online design resource that I signed up on & I must say it really has been fantastic to find new exciting products, well laid out at my fingertips. The direct link to the manufacturers is very valuable & their immediate response determines how quickly your project can progress. So as I run my design consultancy between New Zealand - Maui, Hawaii & Naples, Florida I certainly will continue to use TODL as my major resource - always looking for new exciting products." H.T. - Tomei & Tomei Creative Consultants "Slifer Designs has about forty interior designers. My weekly perusal of TODL has been an inspiration for design solutions and very helpful for our sourcing furnishings, finish materials and building components over the years. As your site has grown, so has its usefulness as a valuable resource for our firm." T.C.- Slifer Designs "I have relied on TODL to do much of my design research. I actually prefer to login to TODL instead of using my in-house library. I use TODL to specify and purchase frequently. This is truly an invaluable source." T.P. - D & T Consultants “You all do a phenomenal job with keeping us updated with products in the industry. Keep up the good work!!! Thank you!" P.A.- Interior Designer- Architecture & Construction- Marriott International “My experience with TODL 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 TODL 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. TODL is a valuable tool in today’s complex design world.” C.G. - Gillis & Associates Architects, Inc. “TODL 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 "TODL has been a great visual resource for our company. We are an architectural firm that handles Health Care, Education, Government Buildings and Hospitality. The Resources that TODL provides allows me to keep up with new and exciting trends that I can bring to our Design Team here at LEO A DALY. 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 TODL. 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. Having the ability to sort by specific types of products, together with the links to the manufacturers’ websites, makes the navigation through the TODL site very efficient and thorough. We are pleased with the expansion and growth that TODL is dedicated to bringing us. Thank you again for your service and dedication to improvement. B.H. - HKS INC. “I really value being able to research all the available products right at my fingertips. Being a healthcare designer, I appreciate the breakdown of product categories on the website as well. The TODL website is a wealth of information and extremely simple to navigate. I have discovered many new and exciting products on the site that I never would have known about as our library can only hold so many catalogues. 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. I have used your service countless times over the last four years with great results. Nine times out of ten I can find what my client needs by logging onto TODL. Many thanks for your help.” J.P.- Allied ASID “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 “TODL 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 as my design resource.” C.S. - Contract Environments, Inc. “TODL has become a very valuable, time saving tool for me as I’ve watched the number of your resources increase. We’re a residential kitchen and bath showroom but I’ve discovered many sources from related and unrelated industries that we’ve incorporated into our work. Our clients want innovation and diversity. Expansion of our knowledge and suppliers through your site has greatly enhanced our offerings.” K.B. - Studio Mehler “You deserve kudos and many more! What would we do without this resource? You would find out just how many of us are here everyday making use of the new groups of manufacturers as well as the formidable library you provide. You’re providing a unique service to the design community. V.M. - Vicki Marshall Interiors “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. We do only high end residential design, and are very satisfied with the level of manufacturers shown on the TODL. website!” D.B. - Bridge Design Studio “As a Residential Designer in New York City-the city that allegedly never sleeps-Todl is just the thing for the Type A personality. Even here, the markets do close. But not with Todl. I can shop for products through the night and I can often drop them right into my drawings, print spec sheets and make a total care package for everyone involved; the contractor, the electrician and the client! The fact that Todl sends me reminders of what’s out there is a big help. I cannot count the number of times I’ve found innovative sources from following your leads and for this I thank you. It does mean I have to make more of an effort to get to the gym, however. No matter, it’s a small price to pay.” Sincerely, J.C. - Allied Member ASID- J. Chapin Interiors “TODL has been a great tool for me to research and download product information for my clients. It enables me to show them how much diversity there is in the market place, that they don’t have to settle for what is available at retail and end up with a room that looks remarkably like their friends’ and neighbors’ rooms. I design for the upper end residential client who doesn’t have the time or experience to put together spaces that reflect their personalities and lifestyles. I have discovered a number of resources not available at my local design center that empowers me to bring unique pieces to my designs that help set me, and consequently my client, apart from the mundane. An additional benefit is the ability to do research late at night and on weekends, email the photographs with the product specifications and contact the supplier directly. I have found TODL to be an invaluable resource for my business.” C.P.D. - Refined Design Interiors, LLC. "Kudos to TODL for this service to the trade, you are indispensible. I Don`t know what I`d do without you. I know I can count on you to "get it done." J.W. - Chroma Design Our firm designs for a broad range of projects: Residences, residential condominiums, time share condominiums, hotels, medical institutions, retail stores, and wherever our clients call us. Using TODL has widened our exposure to many different manufacturers and allowed us to quickly see the scope of what is available. This in turn reduces the time it takes to resolve questions and find solutions. Better informed decisions made in much less time helps us meet our milestones with greater ease. G.K. - Philpotts & Associates, Inc. Our firm designs for varied market segments and TODL has been very helpful in the specification process. Churches, assisted living facilities, restaurants, and corporate offices all require specialized fixtures and finishes. I am always impressed by the scope of products and manufacturers that are returned from a keyword search on the TODL website. The breadth of products is amazing. The ability to save images to Project Folders on the website has been very helpful and time saving. It allows me to simultaneously work on more than one project at a time. On a personal note, I have a created a Folder of Misc. Personal Favorites. These items do not necessarily relate to a specific project, but have attracted my interest. When I need inspiration or a new jumping point on a project, I consult my Personal Favorites folder for a starting point. L.B. - Reese Design Collaborative I’ve been a member of TODL since the beginning and as an architect and designer, I find it an invaluable resource. I have used it consistently on projects that run from high-end residences, to hospitals, to schools, even outdoor plazas. TODL’s new sources notification emails are extremely helpful and always a draw for me to revisit the site, regardless of current project needs. Keep up the good work! A.A. - Apostolou Associates Inc. “I wanted to take a moment of your time and let you know how much I enjoy seeing TODL in my inbox. Sometimes I can't relate to the vendors, (commercial, contract items) but most time I love exploring into places I have never been, or even heard of. The ones like today's issue have so many places to go. Your emails do inspire me. I own a small design business and haven't had the experience, or the level all the beautiful sources speak to. Thank you so much for the experience that large firms must take for granted.” W.B. - Bruce Interiors We work on all types of design/construction projects, from residential to hospitality to retail. We are fortunate to do such vastly different spaces and feel it brings a fresher take to our projects, as we can gather inspiration everywhere and apply it where appropriate. If you recall, we were working on the redesign of a ski resort in Vermont last fall. This was a challenging project on many fronts but particularly given the proximity. Our offices are in Toronto, Canada and our client was in Vermont. Our team found TODL incredibly helpful for gathering new suppliers that were closer to our client than we were. From your site we were able to connect with multiple new manufacturers. Thank you so much for contributing to the success of our project. Sincere Thanks. K.S. - Sealy Design & Build
