Whether you restore diecast models, teddy bears or any other sort of toy or model, Toy Collector can help customers find you and your skills.

Blogging

Use your blog to show examples of your work, with before and after pictures and articles about the restoration process or which detail your techniques. You can now even embed video footage in your blog posts so people can see your skills in action!

See Nobleco's blog here and GunnerJim's blog here for examples. We've also featured Nobleco and his stunning restorations in our Dream Toy jobs blog here.

Galleries

As you can upload as many galleries as you like, why not put up one for each restoration project you complete, showing the whole process from start to finish.

Profiles and Communication Tools

Putting up information about your services in your profile will help people who need your skills to find you! They can also use the Private Messaging system and discussion forums to communicate directly with you  and you can link to your own external website from your profile too. Check out Nobleco's profile here.

Yellow Pages

Our Yellow Pages Section is a directory of toy and model-related businesses. So whatever it is you restore, make sure you have a listing in here as it's the first place people will look when they want to find services!

Brand Awareness & Search Engine Optimisation

Of course, all the above will help you build that all-important brand awareness, making collector-consumers as aware as possible of who you are and what you do. The more times your name and links appear on the internet, the better your search engine optimisation will be too, meaning better search results for your name and more interest from everyone searching!
