Image updates, articles, link structures and even the expansion of the PLM Virtual Showcase environment itself are considerable forms of content updating. A template is used to house the different types of PLM material you may have to market. Website or not, the PLMIC™ goes about retrieving content from you for the showcase in two direct ways:


If you are a PLM Advertiser without a Website
If you are a PLM company without a website; the PLMIC™ will develop a showcase based on information you provide us via electronic communications such as emails or ftp upload/download. Specifics on the material that would be expect from you such as logo colors and size, button configuration, among any other starter information will be asked of you at your own leisure upon request.

If you are a PLM Advertiser with a Website
You do not need a website as mentioned above. There are traffic benefits however by providing the PLMIC direct links to PLM products, services and events that may also be found in your showcase. The PLMIC generally populates showcase information with content relative to existing content your website content. Often linking to parent content using _parent page targeting so once a visitor comes, they stay on your website.

How the PLM Virtual Showcase is Developed

Your PLM Virtual Showcase Button Menu:
You may provide a physical character description for your showcase menu buttons. Each menu button represents a section within your showcase. Within each section, dozens of links can go off to your website services and products, images may be posted, articles and various other pieces of material relevant to your PLM Showcase may be sent to the PLMIC™ for posting. The best character lengths to work with while naming your menu buttons would be:

5 buttons; 14 - 22 characters in length - If you choose not to submit custom menu button descriptions, the PLMIC™ will create default buttons for you.

The "Home" and "PLMIC™ Related Materials" buttons are mandatory. The "Home" button is for users to easily navigate back to your showcase home page from any given point within your showcase. The "PLMIC™ Related Materials" is used to house all references to PLMIC™ related material you may have. If you choose to take advantage of your free PLM Events and Job Offering postings, the"PLMIC™ Related Materials" section will be used to house them.

Your PLM Virtual Showcase Splash logo: You may provide a physical logo splash image that can span up to a 990 x 330 resolution. It is best to provide a splash image with a resolution of 990 x 146. The reasoning is the PLMIC™ will take snapshots of your showcase to present them in various places throughout the PLMIC as the PLM Virtual Showcase Center and showcases themselves evolve. If your logo is too big, information will be left out of the snapshot you may want visible to visitors. The more noticeable your showcase is the better. Using exotic colors is helpful. The template around you splash logo will be tailored to match your colors as best as possible.
Your PLM Virtual Showcase Link Housing: Your PLM Virtual Showcase home page will consist of two major sections: Your PLM Company's Official Material and PLMIC™ Related Material. Your PLM Company's Official Material Your PLM Company's Official Material will be direct links to the material hosted in your showcase. As mentioned above, each menu button represents a section of your showcase. Each one of those links will be what makes up your PLM Company Official Material. PLMIC™ Related Material The PLMIC™ Related Material section of your home page will simply house all PLMIC™ related material you have or will be posting on the PLMIC™.
