AWPA is pleased to announce the launch of its Home Page on the World Wide Web. Unveiled during WIRE �98 in Dusseldorf, Germany, the AWPA Web Site promises to be an exciting new member benefit.
The AWPA Web Site Helps Customers Find Members
The searchable database that showcases AWPA members to potential customers is the heart of the AWPA Web Site. From the main page, visitors can view a list of AWPA member companies, or they can search for companies that make specific types of wire, wire products or rod.
For example, a visitor looking for a specific type of wire would click on "Search For Wire" to reach a search screen. The search screen would allow the customer to search for wire manufacturers by the type of material (carbon, alloy or stainless) and type of wire, e.g., Cold Heading Wire. Likewise, the search page for Wire Products allows visitors to search for manufacturers by type of material and type of wire products. Finally, customers looking for rod can search for manufacturers by grade of rod.
After conducting a search, visitors get a list of manufacturers that match their search criteria. The search results include company name, sales contact person, address, phone, email, and Web Site. The visitor can also link to a description of the company and a full list of products. Email and Web Site addresses are automatically hyperlinked, so the visitor can send an email to your salesperson with an inquiry, or check out your Web Site for more information. If your company is not fully listed in the Web Site database, or there are corrections you would like to make to your listing, please contact Sandra Dickerson to get an information form to complete and return. Corrections and changes should be faxed or emailed. The databases are dynamically updated, directly from the AWPA membership database.
If your company has an email or Web Site address and it is not listed and linked, please email the information to info@awpa.org. If you don't have a company Web Site and are ready to take the plunge, look for upcoming information from our web vendor. They�ll provide anything from a simple five page informational Web Site to a fully interactive corporate Home Page.
