by Press Release on 2012-02-20

To celebrate the launch of the 2012 Freightbook Summit in London, the online directory Freightbook www.freightbook.net are offering independent forwarders 12 months advertising for free!

After working on a new concept of online advertising and business networking for the freight industry, Rachel Humphrey launched Freightbook in July 2009. Since then, the website has provided international promotion for over 600 agents in more than 130 countries. Freightbook have received great interest from the industry and secured their presence at many of the major industry exhibitions over the past 3 years.

Rachel states “The recession accelerated the migration of advertising spending to digital technology. Online advertising within the freight industry is growing fast as business owners recognise that neutral platforms, like Freightbook, provide the perfect component for their Internet marketing strategy. It truly is the best way for any business to advertise for maximum exposure. However, it can also be costly to get your company name ‘out there', which is why we developed this new online concept.

It is true that our industry is still on a rollercoaster, but even in tough economic conditions, independent forwarders still recognise the value of marketing, advertising and networking. That is why we recently announced details of our 2012 Freightbook Summit. “

The event will take place from 25-26 August (Gala Dinner on 24 August) in London at the Hilton Metropole, one of Europe's largest hotel and conference centres. With more than 14 years’ experience in organising international networking events, Freightbook management are aware that face to face meetings are integral in developing and securing new business. Rachel and her team have recently organised meetings for Project Cargo Network in London and Universal Freight Organisation in Hong Kong, plus many more over the years.

With no speakers, sponsors or sales gimmicks, the Freightbook Summit aims to be a room full of CEOs/Senior Managers from all over the world networking with no disruptions or distractions. For further details, visit www.freightbooksummit.net.

Rachel adds “Our attendees will be looking to increase their business by either referring one another or by doing business directly with one another. Freightbook promotes the strong principles of Know, Like and Trust because when these 3 values are reached, you are likely to secure quality recommendations that turn into profitable business. After all, who would confidently recommend agents that they have never met to their important customers? By having a physical presence at our Freightbook Summit, our advertisers can interact in the real world, as well as the virtual, adding extra business value.”
