"new ideas please help"


          

Well, me and my brother have started our own frieght brokerage with the oversite of our father who has owned his own for the last 20 years.. We would like to find some more ways to market our business but not the same ways that he had or has...

we represent trucking companies pretty much and its our job to help them find frieght, mostly in the refrigerated areas of frieght tho...

any ideas?

Thank you for any help you can throw our way!!!

Of course a web presence is essential these days. I'd also make a Facebook page for the business and invite people to become a fan.

A .WS domain name is easy to get and you can generate income on the side as well.

Where do truckers mostly hang out? Some online marketing is probably a good idea but whether or not it makes sense to create a facebook fan page depends on whether or not your target market is on facebook and I am not so sure about truckers.
What about creating some online video though? That could be very effective for marketing.
