Best site to place free ad.

[RobertMaly]

Hello,
I'm representing Polish producers and wholesalers. I've some experience in European markets like Germany and Norway. My clients want to enter British market. At first they want to place some ads in British b2b sites and check the market's reaction.
Perhaps someone has experience in this matter, some advices...
Anyone interested in cooperating please send me private message.

You can't place free ads for business to business sites....Advertising is paid for space. You could check out something like The Grocer and ask them for online and print advertising costs.

The biggest wholesale website in the world is Alibaba. It is international and many UK wholesalers are trading there. Other useful sites are Gumtree and Ebay.co.uk . One of the best forums for wholesalers in the UK is The Wholesale Forum. On this forum you can connect /trade with some of the biggest players in this market. Hope that helps.

Agree with issark, I have created official account on alibaba UK and getting really good amount of inquiries ....You can list your products and services worth free but through a free account you can't engage in conversation with clients immediately about their requirements where as you does it through paid account......Its all up to you if you want a paid account for better result.

Alibaba is the wrong platform if you want to enter the UK market. If you to promote your products you will need to advertise - free isn't a viable option.

@fisicx Then what platform you would suggest to promote business & generate sales inquires especially in UK except google ad campaigns....

Trade magazines and shows would be a good start.

If you can ...please suggest me couple of good trade magazines.

It all depends on what you are selling and to whom. There are thousands of trade magazines and periodicals, each with their own niche and speciality. Go to some of the trade shows and exhibitions and meet the people you will be dealing with.
