Large commercial contracts? - Old school marketers - True experts
I have a client that is a die cutting specialist. They cut parts mostly for the automotive industry and have contracts with dealers like chrystler and ford. They can cut any material but mostly cut a particle board type material.
For example. Last year they completed 2.5 million large circle cutouts for the ford fusion's spare tire brace in the trunk of the car.
Their contracts are huge and generate them multi-millions. Ie. the ford contract valued almost $6M. This is a huge multi million dollar niche, yet so small and select that I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around the marketing side of this.
Companies like this, rarely do B2C type work. 99% of all their jobs are commercial.
We developed their website, host it, and maintain it. The owner called me up today and asked to meet. During the meeting he asked me for some ideas about how to further market their company on the internet. I told him to give me some time to drain my brain.
I have thought of some basic ideas. But I just can't crack the code to be honest. I'm having a hard time putting myself in these companies shoes to find out how these contracts are being seeded. Maybe its due to lack of information about his company, I'm not sure.
My point behind this thread is not to ask you to solve the equation. But to hear from you true old school, hardcore experienced marketers. What are some tips for marketing for commercial contracts using the internet?
