All businesses are looking to get ahead of the competition and seek new ways in which they can achieve this. Most people are willing to accept that traditional forms of media advertising, namely print advertising, are now out of date and have little impact, failing to reach out to the potential clients and customers who they are aiming for. A natural progression has been for companies to look towards online advertising and here at Proactive Marketing, we feel we have found a great new platform by which you can achieve this in Farang Mart.
What is Farang Mart?
To those of you who are unfamiliar with the directory, quite simply it is Thailand’s fastest growing website that receives hundreds of visitors each day making it the most effective classifieds site. Working in conjunction with one of the best media teams in Pattaya, Pattaya One, the site has gone from strength to strength and is now a firm favourite with many SEO companies just like ourselves.
The site offers both free classified ads along with premium adds which are superb for promoting items that are of a higher value such as cars, property or businesses. This makes it highly attractive to both buyers and sellers – the goal of any business directory. If you haven’t heard of it yet, we can guarantee that you will have in just a few months.
Why should I use it?
Farang Mart is a fantastic way to gain extra exposure for your business. As it is a directory that offers free classified ads along with premium ads so it ticks so many boxes for so many people. It is extremely user-friendly with the business categories clearly identifiable and on a national scale. This means that users don’t have to randomly browse through pages to find exactly what they are looking for. The fact that it is so user-friendly means that it is soon likely to become the directory of choice for many companies operating within Thailand – especially the ones owned and run by expats.
From an SEO point of view, Farang Mart is a great way of driving more traffic to your website. The free ads are a superb way to achieve this but we feel that the paid for banners are what will really set organisations apart from the competition. By using these banners it will be possible to target certain market segments such as real estate or cars along with being able to target by city or province, for example, Pattaya and Phuket, or Koh Samui. Using our complex analytics tools we can determine which categories achieve the most views and visitors therefore, enabling us to target your client base.
Conclusion
First and foremost, we believe that this is the ideal marketing tool for your business in Thailand. The more exposure that can be gained for any organisation regardless of size is the primary goal of 95% of companies. A directory that targets potential clients by not only sector but also by region is perfect and we firmly believe that Farang Mart achieves this and this is why we promote it to our clients.
