    Do you have any idea or suggestion on how to market our service??? Can u help me?

    Hello! I'm an online marketer of web services before, and then I jumped out into different product/ service. Our company, F+L Asia Inc., primarily focused in Fuels and Lubricants industry. We publish a host of print and electronic media, including Fuels & Lubes International, a quarterly 4-color magazine, Oiltrends, a monthly e-newsletter, the Asia-Pacific Petroleum Buyers’ Guide, which is updated once a year, and the Asian Lube Wall Map, a comprehensive graphical display of base oil suppliers in the region.

    In addition, we organize two prime networking events for the fuels, lubricants and additives industry, the Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference which is held every year in March and the Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference which is held in September/October.

    So I wonder how can I market or where can I market this kind of business? This is a global marketing, but our main market target is on asian countries.

    Can you give suggestion to this?

    I will truly appreciate it

    Sounds interesting, so you're looking at more B2B marketing rather than B2C I assume... Have you searched LinkedIn for other people in your industry? Also making connections through Facebook might work for you.

    But does it need to be marketed online? Do you have people who can call up prospects, send out information and do direct marketing that way?

    Thanks for the suggestion by the way, (Perry Rose and WpMarketingNews) here's the link to our site: http://www.fuelsandlubes.com/

    Actually we have weekly and monthly E-newsletter, where in we are looking for advertisers who are in fuels and lubricants related industry to advertise on it, to send us their banner ads.

    Then for our magazine, almost the same, we are looking for fuels and lubricants related suppliers also to advertise in the magazine..they are the ones to create the page then we will publish it along with the magazine articles

    We have somebody to do call, yeah, but since the job is for online marketing, can you give me other way of marketing our service online? coz that is my part and cold calling is not my job, someone is assigned to do lead generation also and call them,

    I need to do the online marketing part, so any effective strategy?

    Thanks!

    You've got a point there buddy. Can you suggest other social network sites with large number of members and which you think can relate to the nature of our business?

    Thanks!

    SEO would definitely help you out, however it takes time before you can see the results.
    Social Networking is great as well.

    Here's some techniques that we do:
    Our SEO will do all the link buildings manually to Online Directories,
    Search Engines, Press Release Sites and Article Sites. We provide
    higher acceptance ratio due to our immense SEO knowledge and years of
    experience. The main advantage of manual submission is to increase the
    page rank in a short span of time which cannot be achieved with
    automated submissions. We have a dedicated team of SEO experts and
    data entry operators who will work on your website.
    We have an extensive and a hand picked database of sites with good
    Alexa ranks and page ranks for link building.

    I got two more questions:

    1.) Is it still necessary to have SEO here? Also does having multiple domain can help in increasing the exposure, rate or campaign of the site?

    2.) Do you think social networking site would be helpful in our industry? If in case yes, which social network site? And in what way do you think it would be useful for our company?

    Regards,

    Princess

    Answers to your questions

    SEO is good thing to do for a website. Just go for basic seo and then concentrate on increasing subscriber only.
    For that use social networking website life facebook and create lots of friends who are interested in your website topic. Join similar group n post about ur website...(remember do not spam)
    News (not article) posting on famous website can also help you to increase subscriber.
    (Try Bussinesstalky.com )

    Your website topic is industry related and its hard job to get lots of subscriber So have some patience.
