Pagefinder - Home - Business to Business Marketing - Fax Marketing - How To Use Fax Marketing
 
All sorts of companies use fax marketing - from car and vehicle leasing firms to roofing contractors, from coffin manufacturers to training organisations.

Before deciding on which type of faxing is best for you, take a look at how our most regular clients use it. More often than not, how often our customers fax out is related to the buying cycle.

Then call us on freephone 0800 652 6627 and speak with one of our copy writers to find out more. Make fax marketing work for your business!


The buying cycle is a well-proven occurence when it comes to selling things.

What it basically describes is the number of companies in the market for what you are offering at any particular time. Sometimes, something may need to be bought every week or every month, other things may have a buying cycle of years.

It's not always true but generally the things that cost more have a longer buying cycle. So, for example, you might need to replace your ink cartridges every three weeks. On the other hand, if you sell to companies who lease cars or security systems, they might only be in the buying cycle once every two to five years because they're held to a contract and what they buy might naturally have that lifespan.

On this page, look at how companies using faxing have a strategy for their types of products, plus what place does faxing have generally within a company's marketing plan?

• Fast moving goods, like stationery, consumables, etc.
Consider sending over a price list - or a more official looking fax.

The people you're faxing will already buy these products. Faxing regularly will get you in front of them when they're ready to buy. What are you doing now to reach these people?
• Products or services with a life-span of 18 months of less, like mobile phones, computers and insurance services.
Many customers fax out the same potential customers every month to publicise their services. As well as being considered by potential customers when the life span of their product is over, it helps increase brand awareness in the run-up to the end of a term.

If the life span is 18 months+, most of our customers do not choose to fax to the same base every month, preferring to fax out to different people every month. Vehicle leasing, finance products and security systems are examples of these.
• Continuously used products and services, like telecoms, utilities, etc
Where a product must be continually used for the running of the business, most of our customers selling these products fax the same customers every month, offering examples of how their 'brokering' services have saved other businesses money.
• If you offer a service, like ours, which promotes other businesses and helps brand/advertise  them, like promo gifts and
workwear, list brokers etc.
These types of firms get consistently high response rates from faxing. Our promotional customers fax out generally to the same numbers every month.

Exhibition and conference organisers have used fax broadcasting for years to promote last-minute stand availability. We offer highly targeted fax broadcasting to organisers to ensure maximum publicity as the time draws near for the opening of the event.
• For companies selling impulse purchases, especially via premium rate
Fax broadcasting can offer superb returns for products bought on impulse.

Most impulse purchases are made through offers made via a premium-rate number, such as competitions, holiday tickets, opinion polls, and so on. An eye-catching fax which quickly sums up the proposition ensures maximum visibility and success, and our customers who offer this service tend to fax different numbers.
• Maintenance and repair services nearly always do well, for example roofing contractors, garden & landscape
maintainers and cleaning firms
Fax broadcasting is used by these companies to keep their name in the public eye and in the event that the company your potential customer is using does not keep good faith or maintain a high standard of workmanship.

Although faxing may not immediately spring to mind for these services, they do produce a good return and often high-value immediate repair work. For example, 2,000 faxes should produce up to 2 calls for quotes, although, of course, this can not be guaranteed.
