National Stationery Show Introduces Enhanced Website Product Search Capabilities

White Plains, NY – The National Stationery Show® (NSS) has launched an enhanced exhibitor search feature at www.nationalstationeryshow.com, offering buyers more comprehensive and targeted product information through a standard keyword search.  The new functionality is designed to maximize the Show experience for both buyers and exhibitors by delivering detailed search results that will educate about the vast resources available at the NSS.

“This enhanced resource is a remarkable new tool for our 11,000 attendees,” said Patti Stracher, NSS show manager.  “It offers a more complete picture of the depth of product available at the NSS, by identifying complementary resources and prioritizing search results.  It’s a tool that will more effectively prepare buyers for the market, and promote the full scope of exhibitor products.”

The enhanced keyword search will identify exhibitors with the desired product information listed any of three ways – within exhibitors’ selected product categories, within company descriptions, or within product catalogs of exhibitors participating in the NSS Online Catalog Gallery.  Available information for each identified company includes their booth location, contact information, product categories, lines, and their full catalog if available.  It also allows users to search specifically for first-time exhibitors, as well as those whose booth locations have changed since the last show.

In addition to enhanced search capabilities, a “My Walking List” feature encourages attendees to plot their route in advance, maximizing their time and productivity at the Show.  Walking lists can be archived from show to show, and automatically update with any change to the exhibitor listing.

The new NSS search function is available by clicking the Product Search tab at www.nationalstationeryshow.com, or directly by visiting http://search.nationalstationeryshow.com.
