Get FinancingReach Buyers Anywhere With International Truck Sales Platforms From Sandhills
Much has changed since Truck Paper’s introduction in 1981. While the trucks themselves have undergone a massive overhaul to increase efficiency and safety and reduce environmental impact, the economy has also changed. The advent of the internet and improved shipping methods created a truly global economy with goods flowing between countries like never before. Though buyers around the world can go to TruckPaper.com to browse trucks for sale, they also have numerous other options, including local platforms, to help them find the right truck.
Meeting The Markets Where They Are
Sandhills Global’s international expansion began with MarketBook Canada in 2010 and quickly grew from there. Today, MarketBook has localised print publications and websites in Latin America, New Zealand, and South Africa. Following the acquisition of respected regional brands, the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany, and other locations in Europe were added to the list of countries sellers could target. To support these global brands, Sandhills has offices in Manchester, U.K.; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Brisbane, Australia.
Target Local
International and region-specific print editions of MarketBook, Truck Locator, CamionSuperMarket/Truck Buy & Sell International, and TruckWorld provide strategic geographic marketing that truck buyers can pick up at locations they frequent, such as truck stops and service centres. Physical magazines offer a proven forum for sellers to highlight their best deals to an active audience. Quick Find Codes assigned to each asset listed in the magazine also direct buyers to go online for more details and photos. Digital copies of the magazines are also available on each brand’s website. Each asset listed in print becomes a featured listing on the corresponding website.
Reach Global
Accessible anywhere in the world, Sandhills’ easy-to-use websites help sellers capitalise on demand in overseas markets—and grow their domestic market share at the same time. Each website prioritises local assets for buyers' convenience, while making it easy to search further afield to find the right option. With powerful search capabilities and an intuitive design, buyers can easily find the trucks and trailers they need, and with an array of platforms to choose from, sellers can target any corner of the world they want.
Truck Locator
The premier resource for buyers and sellers of commercial trucks and trailers in the U.K. and Ireland, Truck Locator combines websites with worldwide reach, mobile apps, and free weekly magazines distributed directly to buyers and customers, allowing sellers to tap local and global markets.
