3. We have a well working concept.

Proven Concept We understand precisely how our Buyer's Guide works for its users. Based on that, we have developed a proven digital marketing concept which lets that resource work for our advertising customers, using our ad package.
How it works The crucial aspect: users confronted with a huge number of suppliers need to produce a short list for closer inspection. For that, they primarily use product information, which is presented only by those using our ad package. The much improved chance to survive the pre-selection means correspondingly more sales leads.

Other marketing concepts, primarily based on yellow-pages effects, cannot remotely reach that effectiveness.

4. We consistently deliver.

Many companies of all sizes are working effectively with us and are happy to renew the advertising package every year. They have learned that here you get a better deal than anywhere else:

  • many more referrals to your website (followed by requests for quotations) than from other buyer's guides, or in fact from any other photonics website
    effective lead generation (learn how to measure referral traffic)
  • high quality of traffic, since our resource is used by experts
  • far better value for your money
  • excellent service: get your ads set up easily
  • also giving you valuable advice, e.g. on how to improve product descriptions
  • honest and trustworthy throughout the entire process

The vast majority of advertisers prolongs their advertising package year for year – because it works!

How to make this work for you?

It's simple: upgrade your buyer's guide entry with our advertising package, so that it will send far more people to your website, and thus contribute to the generation of sales leads and to the growth of your sales and revenue. Many great features are included for strengthening your position in the photonics market.

The key feature of our package is that you can publish your product descriptions in the lists of suppliers (also on your company profile page and even in Encyclopedia articles).
