| Made Even Easier!
You already use Exhibit Design Search. Two years ago, we added two Rental Furniture Galleries to EDS with CORT products. Classic Distributors loved it! While it didn’t include the complete CORT product line, it was a good place to start, and all the prices were in retail. Even better, the prices were competitive with GSC show book prices. EDS was the perfect place to direct your client to choose rental furniture options.

In this video, we review four recent updates to your Exhibit Design Search, including reorganized galleries, rental designs, CORT galleries, and home page changes.
