Update Your Profile to be Discovered!
C365 offers many ways for you to showcase your company, brands and products throughout the year. Prepare for your brands and products to be discovered by buyers and media. Below are the three most important tasks to keep current.
List Your Brands
Buyers and news media are looking to discover brands and new products related to your brands. Highlight your brands and new products for them to find. There is no limit on the number of brands or products that can be listed.
New Products & Badge Identifiers
Update your C365 profile so buyers and news media can search for new products throughout the year. Be sure to list your products and mark them as “New” if they have been introduced within the last 12 months to be included in the New Product search. Badges identify the categories and characteristics of your company, such as Made in USA, Independent Retailer Friendly, Women Owned and more. Badges are searchable in C365 for additional exposure to buyers and media.
In-Booth Special Events
A special search is in C365 for in-booth events will include these listings. Buyers and news media love a good event! Be sure to add your celebrity appearances, giveaways or demonstrations in your booth at the Show.

All Active and Placed exhibitors will have their Connect 365 account activated when they are assigned space. It is critical that you review and update your account so that you can put your best company profile in front of Show attendees.
