An Industry on the Move
Trucking is an $800 billion industry. As a critical part of the global supply chain and the economy, it continues to experience unprecedented growth. While trucks keep goods moving, the logistics and transportation industry is much broader. From truck parts manufacturers to trucking company safety and compliance to training, the industry relies on a network of medium and large businesses. The industry is lucrative, and there are lots of opportunities for transportation companies like yours. You can stand out from the competition. And you get more market share by using the right marketing strategy for trucking, transportation or logistics.
Yet, many transportation industry leaders are asking themselves this question. Should we continue to focus on traditional marketing methods like cold-calling, brochures, and one-on-one meetings that have worked so well in the past? Or is it time to move toward building an online presence and embracing digital advertising?
Traditional Advertising and Deal-Making Still Work in the Trucking Industry
The way you’ve been doing things is still effective. You can still make a deal with a handshake in many areas of the trucking industry. There’s something to be said about that kind of integrity in an industry. But there’s a reason the industry is expanding its digital presence.
