Hi

Im almost finished my website which will be supplying a comodity to both industry and public and i really want to get known in Ireland Europe Uk US and possibly far east maybe Japan. I think my website provides an interest factor for the public and also stirs up a little bit of competition and national pride between these areas.

I dont really have much money to market but ive got pleanty of time. i was thinking of starting in Ireland sending a press release to all the papers and radio stations. is this done? or over done? ie no one reads them. And if irelands business start biting use that money for proper marketing campagin. any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Regards
John

Yeah it probably is but your best bet is to just pick up the phone, try your darndest to get through to the person in the company who would deal with your type of product and build a rapport with them, have a chat, ask for advice, get them interested etc

Then take the order!
