Questions on placing an advertisement

If you are looking for sales agents and independent sales companies to sell your products, you can place an advertisement stating you have a representation on offer.

If you’ve already created an account, log in to it. If you have not yet created an account, you can create a manufacturer/principal account free of charge.

You can place your advertisement in just a few steps:

  1. Choose the platform on which you want your advertisement published
  2. Choose additional services (e.g. up to 6 images)
  3. Create your advertisement and check it
  4. Place your advertisement in the shopping cart
  5. Check the billing address and choose a payment method
  6. Book the advertisement for the stated fee

You can change your advertisement at any time, but not book any additional services. To do this, log in and then click on Ordered services. Here you can deactivate existing advertisements so that they are no longer displayed online, or change existing advertisements.

You can publish as many advertisements as you like on any number of platforms at the same time.

Yes. Advertisements you have placed within the last six months can be found on the page Ordered services. Older advertisements are not shown there. In Ordered services, you can choose the advertisement you wish to place again. The actual placement process is then the same like the process for a new advertisement.

You yourself determine the start date of your advertisement. However, it must be at least five days after its creation date. Why? Sales agents and commercial agents, who are members in one of the affiliated associations, will be informed of your advertisement five days before it is published online. Only then does the advertisement also appear online and all other sales agents, commercial agents and reps registered on the platform will then receive notification of the offer by email.

Basically, all advertisements offering a representation look the same, because it is not the appearance that counts, but the content. However, you can expand your offer with additional services. You can upload up to six additional images, or a PDF file. You also have the option of premium placement. This means that your advertisement is “pushed up” in the offer listing once a week.

You can pay by Credit Card, Paypal, SEPA Credit Transfer, SEPA Direct Debit and Sofortüberweisung. For processing payments we work with the payment service provider Novalnet. That means your payment data are not stored on the platform.

Payment in advance or by invoice is not possible.

To receive your invoices, please log in and then click on Ordered services. There you will find a list of the services booked in the last six months. You can also download your invoice there.
