New Product Listings
Increase visibility of your debut products
For news media & BUyers
Both news media and buyers attending The Inspired Home Show are looking for new products! Entering your new product listings in Connect 365 is an optimal way for news media and buyers to find your new items. They also search Connect 365 after the Show and throughout the year.
New Product listings can be entered through your Connect 365 portal as outlined below. (PR professionals: Your company’s/client’s main Show contact will have log-in credentials.)
When in the portal:
-
- Select the New Product button
- Enter your information
- Choose the product category
- If your product was released to market within the last 12 months, make sure to mark it as ‘New’ by checking the ‘Was this product released to market within the last 12 months?’ box
- Upload a photo
Media and buyers will be able to search by “New Products” on the Connect 365 homepage and can also narrow results by category.

- Enter your product information as early as possible to maximize your exposure.

- The New Product search is used by IHA staff when products are needed for PR outreach and marketing materials year-round.
- Your listings will remain available to buyers and news media looking for products year-round.
