Madrid, Spain – Conqueror Freight Network is pleased to announce the launch of the newest phase of its complimentary PR and Marketing Services. Conqueror Freight Network is offering its members professional, personalised marketing tools including, a website, brochure, video and PowerPoint presentation at no cost. “Marketing is costly to independent companies and yet they cannot allow themselves to become stagnant in this area which is why we assist our members as much as we can. We want to give our agents the tools to compete in an ever competitive global market,” explained Antonio Torres.
With a common design, colour and images, all of the tools created complement each other seamlessly. “The only way this service could benefit our members was if we offered a universal corporate identity across all the promotional materials, emphasised Mr Torres, “Yes, we could offer totally unique designs for each element, but we want the customers of our members to recognise the brand when they see it.”
The PR and Marketing Service was well-received by the 117 Conqueror members at the network’s 3rd annual meeting in Kuala Lumpur in May. “The internet was one area where, I must admit, our company had failed to create a real presence despite it being the most utilised search tool for potential clients, but now I will be able to without it breaking the bank,” said one satisfied delegate.
“With the multinationals gaining ground year on year, in my opinion, networks have a duty of care to their members to assist them in whatever way they can. It is not ok to just accept a membership fee and offer nothing in return except a list of contacts. We, the team behind Conqueror are continuously looking for new ways in which we can help increase members visibilit’y both within the network and worldwide,” said Antonio Torres.
