BEATING THE COMPETITION
American freight railroading is a highly competitive industry, with rail, road, water, and even air alternatives constantly battling for the few existing potential customers. To stand out from the crowd, you need consistently innovative, unique, and targeted marketing efforts.
EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY
Technological advancements have been slow to take hold in the railroad industry, but the customers that railroads serve are some of the most technologically advanced businesses in the world. Social media, mobile-responsive websites, and viral digital marketing are often overlooked by transportation companies, who tend to favor more traditional door-to-door and cold-call sales methods.
