Reaching buyers who do not know you exist yet

Export growth usually stalls because buyers in a new market have never heard of you. Paid media shortens that. Google Search catches buyers already looking for a specification. LinkedIn puts your capability in front of procurement managers, sourcing leads and engineers at the companies you want to supply, in the countries you want to sell to.

Why timing matters in 2026

With the India and UK trade agreement in force from 15 July 2026 and tariffs removed on around 99% of UK tariff lines for Indian goods (PIB, Government of India), UK buyers have a fresh reason to review their supplier lists. Campaigns that reach them while they are looking do far better than campaigns that arrive after contracts are signed.

Worth knowing

Qualify before sales picks up the phone. Our RFQ forms ask for quantity, specification, destination country and timeline. It cuts the time sales wastes on enquiries you could never serve.

What we report

Qualified RFQs by market and product family, cost per RFQ, quote rate and order value where your ERP or CRM allows it. We also track which countries respond best, because export markets rarely behave the same way. See our manufacturing SEO page for the organic side.

FAQ

Which platforms work for manufacturing paid campaigns?
Google Search for specification and product-category queries, LinkedIn for targeting procurement and sourcing roles.
Should ads target international buyers?
Yes, for export-focused manufacturers, campaigns are geo-targeted to key sourcing markets, not just domestic buyers.
How is manufacturing ad spend measured?
Against qualified RFQ submissions, not clicks or impressions.
Which countries should we target first?
Start where you already have some customers or where a trade deal has just lowered tariffs. Proven demand plus a price advantage is the fastest route to new orders.
Do trade shows still matter?
Yes. Paid campaigns before and after a show help you book meetings and follow up properly, which gets far more out of the stand.
