What is the Inventables Marketplace?
Inventables is a B2B website where vendors that manufacture materials can promote their products. By creating online profiles for your products on our website, you reach new customers looking to source new materials to solve their design and engineering problems. Thousands of potential customers browse through our profiles every day and submit inquiries about products they are interested in. As a user of the Inventables Marketplace, you are notified by email each time your Inventables profile receives a new inquiry, and you are given an opportunity to purchase the corresponding pre-qualified sales lead.
Inventables is challenging the old industrial marketing model. Traditional advertising requires marketers to assume risk. Purchasing an ad in a magazine, a banner advertisement on a website, or a booth at a trade show all require an upfront cost with the hope that you will acquire new customers. We have a better idea.
Advertising dollars spent on Inventables.com can deliver an immediate return on your investment. We don’t believe you should be paying for exposure that is not resulting in serious business conversations. When a potential buyer makes an inquiry about your product, you have the option to purchase the sales lead or pass. You only pay for sales leads you are interested in. This means that you are only paying for sales leads worth your time.
Smart industrial marketers are already taking advantage of this more efficient approach to attracting new customers.
How does it work?
To get started, you create a free online profile for each product you want to sell. Each profile includes a product description, photos, video, applications and specifications. Your Inventables product profiles can be updated and edited in real time so you have complete control over all your content.
With thousands of daily users accessing our site, Inventables is able to collect relevant information on all inquiries based on our pre-qualifying criteria. This criteria includes the potential buyer’s full name, email, phone number, company name, and a description of their intended use for your material.
When a potential buyer is interested in a product, they ask a question directly from the profile page. You receive an email from Inventables with a link to the sales lead qualification page. You evaluate its value and either buy the sales lead contact information or pass on the opportunity.
Free leads versus leads for sale?
We have two pricing options:
Leads for Sale
Pay per lead: These are leads that come from free basic user accounts or non-registered users. Most of these users come across the product profile pages through search engines. Inventables proprietary software will calculate the market rate for the lead at the time it was submitted. The market rate is the price you will pay for the pre-qualified lead.
Free Leads
Subscribers: These are Inventables premium users that subscribe to the site and use the sourcing tools regularly. These subscribers pay a monthly fee and therefore their inquiries are available at no cost to you.
