http://www.ERTWeekly.com has developed a strong relationship with manufacturers across the UK who currently advertise online and in ERT Weekly magazine, promoting products and job opportunities to highly targeted audiences. The Business Development Zone now offers an extended service to businesses wishing to reach larger numbers of dealers with relevant information, by showing their video content online. The site offers a 24 hour turn around for featuring new videos, and will provide an interactive reference library, searchable by manufacturer. Additionally it offers business advice to support managers and practical product training to shop floor staff before new products arrive on the market.
Gina Head, Marketing Communications Manager at the Indesit Company, commented: “We are pleased to be involved with the launch of this great new training tool from http://www.ERTWeekly.com. The BDZ offers us a direct method to communicate our latest product launches, enabling our retailers to have access to relevant, practical sales advice 24 hours a day.”
Commenting on the launch of the BDZ, Patrick Taylor, Group Publishing Director for the ERT group, said: “With the evolution of electrical retailing and increased rivalry from the internet and multiples, it is widely recognized that independent retailers need to continue to offer unparalleled advice and service to their customers. The new Business Development Zone offers a unique platform to support dealers with the challenges that they face to stay ahead of the competition.”
