To find customers for trucking, it is not enough to place advertisements everywhere for a wide audience. It is expensive and impractical. To begin with, you should organize the whole process of the transport company from the inside and start providing quality services from the first day.
Customers are wary of new suppliers. First, customers often encounter dishonest service. Secondly, your potential customers, most likely, already have permanent partners in the field of cargo transportation. Therefore, newcomers should work out in as much detail as possible an effective advertising strategy to attract customers to a transport company.
Check out the experience of direct competitors. Analyze their strengths, weaknesses, working methods and prices, and examine the promotion methods they use to find trucking clients. Based on this, create your own unique proposal that will highlight the benefits of your company and set you apart from others.
Think about bonus and discount programs, free pickup or delivery within the city limits, develop incentive promotions, loyalty systems to build long-term business relationships.
Create a selling commercial proposal, adapt interesting offer options from the Internet and the media to suit your niche. Your message should be succinct, simple, and concise. This will be the "highlight" - a unique distinguishing feature. In the explanatory text, cover up all possible objections: emphasize the main advantages of contacting your company, statistics and geography of work, deadlines, reviews.
The highest quality customer acquisition channel is referrals. Word of mouth and it is only effective if you have good connections and partnerships. If there are none, you will have to use other promotion methods. These are postings on thematic forums, expert sites, question-answer portals that are provided by the guys from MoversBoost .
