FREE product upgrade guaranteed to raise your profile

Subscribers to NBS Plus who also publish catalogues on ribaproductselector.com can now benefit from a free automatic upgrade that combines some of the best features of both.

Called 'Linked Profiles' the free upgrade helps specifiers to choose products in NBS Plus by displaying links to relevant catalogues. Conversely, those that don't use NBS software (such as international companies and those that write their own specifications) now have the facility to copy and paste product specifications directly from your page on ribaproductselector.com.

Other enhancements include the facility to include more colour images of your products on ribaproductselector.com, thus helping them to stand out further. Ribaproductselector.com attracts over 172,000 unique visitors every month (ABCe).

Product catalogues at hand while writing a specification

While writing a specification using NBS software an architect or engineer will typically browse through NBS Plus product profiles to select one that best suits their project's needs.

Before making a final decision about its inclusion however, it's not uncommon for a specifier to want to see more information about a product. Indeed even if they're already comfortable with their choice, they may wish to save a catalogue in their project file, simply for future reference. Whereas before this might involve locating and visiting the manufacturer's website, before navigating around it in the hope of finding the relevant catalogue to download, now this task is reduced to a simple click or two of the mouse. A link beside the product entry will enable him or her to download the PDF catalogue directly, at the point at which a decision is made.

Targeting international and non-NBS specifiers

NBS specification software is used by 95 per cent of the UK's top 100 architectural practices, but some specifiers still prefer to write their own. Foreign practices may rely on systems that are similar to NBS, but based on different regulations and procedures. Now you can make your product available to both groups, in a format that's both easy for them to access and simple to integrate into non-NBS specifications. The new 'copy spec' feature on ribaproductselector.com allows specifiers to insert your product specification details directly into their own document using copy and paste.

If you are an existing NBS Plus customer that already uses ribaproductselector.com to publish PDF versions of your catalogues you are encouraged to provide us with more pictures of your product to enhance your listing under the 'products' tab.
