We can also do sponsored research in target markets.  This can support the marketing of a business location or professional service.

Ads can appear on the regional or state PR or search results and directory pages as very relevant pages for featuring business locations or services.

We don't offer rotating, run-of-site banners.  Instead, we place fixed ads on pages which are designed to attract very well-qualified prospects.

Custom search tools can draw relevant visitors back repeatedly because project teams and their professional advisors typically have to search for many different types of information in multiple locations.

For example, a visitor who is researching Florida for a project is likely to use the Florida Search tool repeatedly, or even add it to an iGoogle home page for quick reference at any time.  The same is true of other US regions and states, or countries like Canada and Mexico.

We offer other online marketing services in the $950 - $3000+ range, such as to share more details about the benefits of an area or service, plus unique opportunities through our ad sales work with fDi magazine.

Bruce Donnelly handles US ad sales for fDi - in print and online - and can help fDi advertisers to develop integrated marketing campaigns.

This can range from fDi online services from $2500 to $20,000+ per year, print ads for $6500 - $12,400 each, or annual campaigns of $30,000 - $60,000+ for combinations of print and online.  Larger custom service proposals complement specific marketing initiatives with a mix of Financial Times services - in print, online, events, etc.

fDi also produces sponsored but independently researched reports, such as 4 to 12 page features about an area or service in the magazine, or 16 - 64+ page sponsored research supplements.

Ask Bruce for illustrative budget examples or custom proposals according to your targeted marketing strategy and event plans.

Explanation - fDi Atlas

Despite this large online reach, the costs to advertise through our websites and to share more detailed content about specific business locations or professional services remain very low because this business was carefully designed to lower such marketing costs while making it much easier for executives to find what they are seeking.

The value to a company, service provider, or community can be very high by rapidly introducing very relevant contacts to each other to do business together on corporate expansion projects plans.

There are a few thousand US capital investment projects per year which create over 50 new jobs in new locations.  One therefore doesn't need to reach a vast audience - just these top project decision-makers and their professional advisors.  We do this in print, online, and in person.

Instead of distributing tens or hundreds of thousands of copies with general business news and analysis to individuals or managers at all levels in companies of all sizes, fDi is written for top decision-makers at large and fast-growing companies in expanding industry sectors.  It addresses the many complex issues which they face for their own business growth strategies and project plans - anywhere..

We just ask contributors to follow the basic guidelines in the Add News section and to be fairly selective about what they send to us.  Do not send us many unsolicited emails with large file attachments.  Send useful information which we should want to share openly here.

Similarly, the extensive reference information which is shared through  www.gdi-solutions.com and the more selective business location research tools at www.OnTheShortList.com are entirely FREE to help users such as senior executives and their advisors.

There are some additional services which we offer for a small fee to share useful information about leading business locations or service providers.  In effect, these are executive summary presentations which are designed to be very easy to find when relevant to project plans.

Such work together enables visitors to quickly find the contacts they need for their projects, even without asking for our direct assistance.

There are also cost effective ways to do custom research reports, such as to support special event plans or other marketing initiatives.

In general, we feature fDi advertisers through our websites as a bonus.  This avoids any perceived conflict of interest in our sales work and also expands the market reach available to such fDi advertisers.

fDi is very precisely targeted at top executives at major companies in the USA and worldwide, and the website is reinforced by sending out this high quality magazine every other month to those readers.  Our own websites complement this reach by being designed to attract the attention of executives at companies of all sizes worldwide, and their professional advisors, as they search for useful information related to their capital investment project interests and strategic plans.
