Featured New Products
TrustedParts.com invites its sponsoring distributors to supply feeds of new products to feature on the TrustedParts.com home page. This allows for alerting TrustedParts.com users to new products they may not be aware of or should consider using.
The products featured on the TrustedParts.com home page are picked at random from those recently supplied by distributors. All featured products will be listed on the TrustedParts.com New Products page for six months after they are received.
Requirements
You may supply featured new products to TrustedParts.com if you are a participating distributor that meets the following requirements.
- You are a TrustedParts.com sponsor.
- The products are new from the manufacturer. A product is considered new if it entered the marketplace within the past year. Please note that a product does not qualify as new if it is simply new to your catalog. It must be something new to the manufacturer. If the TrustedParts.com system detects that the products are not new, they will not be displayed.
- The products are in your regular part feed to TrustedParts.com, and you are authorized to sell the products.
- You can supply the required fields listed below under File Content.
