What is a Bimshelf?
BIM objects hosted on Bimstore can also be pushed to the manufacturer’s own website through a ‘Bimshelf’, which is a specially designed window on your website powered by the Bimstore database. This means manufacturers can host BIM content directly on their own website, without worrying about additional website development, re-uploading the BIM objects following amendments, or tracking views and downloads separately.
Benefits of Using a Bimshelf
There are a number of benefits to utilising a Bimshelf on your website, including:
- Benefit from Bimstore’s powerful SEO.
- Track downloads and users’ engagement from your website with no additional website development.
- BIM objects will always be up to date on your site, which is less of an administrative task if a product range is updated or added.
- Customisable branding, filters and search options.
Bimshelf Visibility
Ensure your Bimshelf can be easily found in the technical area or resource section of your website, this is essential for user engagement.
Specifiers will only use your BIM objects if they know they exist!
Bimshelf Example
Include a brief description on the page to further strengthen the SEO value and also give the visitor guidance, such as:
We offer a range of free BIM objects for a wide selection of products from across our portfolio.
These can be downloaded directly below or by visiting Bimstore.
Need an Additional Bimshelf?
We can provide additional rebranded Bimshelf iframe codes, so you can further distribute your BIM objects on your partner’s websites, such as Barbour Product Search.
Launching your BIM objects
Once your Bimshelf is live on your website, let your followers know on your social media platforms. Be sure to tag @Bimstore so we can help further promote your BIM products and brand.
