Approaching Businesses

[creativ74]

Hi,

It's my pleasure to come across this useful forum, and I hope that I can get some useful information regarding my new business.

I'm setting up a special discount website that offers special offers and exclusive discounts for the people who are working for the orgnization that I used to work for. I designed a special scheme for that, and would like to promote it to other companies in order to invite them to participate in the scheme. But, I do not know how to contact the businesses, is there any helpful directory for such purpose, I want to approach businesses to participate in my scheme so that I can offer this service for my target market.

Your help, advice, suggestions, and views will be highly apperciated, so please help me on this.

regards

Leon

Hi Leon,

You're unlikely to find a single, definitive, targetted list of suitable companies, so I think it will be a case of manually looking through the normal channels (search engines, directories, etc, etc).

If you haven't already done so, you could join an affiliate program such as AffiliateWindow.com. Merchants there will already have graphics in place and may be willing to consider offering you an exclusive discount code.

I think AffiliateWindow make a small charge to join them as an affiliate, but once in, you'll find loads of potential sites to link to.

Hope this is of help

best regards
