Michael Ference Fluid Power Marketing

Call it packaging or call it bundling, but putting together a multi-media approach to your 2021 marketing program will work best for all fluid power component marketers.  Building brand awareness and generating sales leads both remain important to our clients. That is why I recommend using print, digital, and virtual for now as important segments of your program. People still read magazines and your ad works a a reminder to our readers about your brand.  Leads are now mostly generated digitally and we can do that best with our e-newsletters, e-blasts, and more. Telling your story is best done with a presentation in our Virtual Series Fluid Power Technology Conference.  Please let me know if I can bundle a program that will work for your company in 2021.

On December 8, 2020 at 2:00 pm EST, Dan Turner, President at GPM Controls will present a Virtual Series session on accumulators.  GPM is a leader in accumulator manufacturing, providing piston, bladder, and diaphragm accumulators as well as a complete line of accessories to retail and wholesale distributors across the U.S. Dan will conduct a discussion on the size and types of accumulators and their applications along with information on accumulator safety.  You can register for free at this link .  I invite you to attend this every-other-Tuesday event for lots of great content about fluid power components and their applications. Our sessions take place virtually and last about 45 minutes followed by a question and answer session.  All of our presentations are available on-demand on our website .  Join us and Dan Turner for this session that promises to be both interesting and informative!

 You will find both on Fluid Power World  and the information is updated constantly. I invite you to visit our websites often for the latest information about components available to the marketplace and some application stories on how they are applied.  If you are a component manufacturer, please send us your products for review.

Engineers working on solutions for pneumatic applications have many options for compressed air and gas control, from simple mechanical valves to complex assemblies. Add finding a product to meet all the specifications, and the entire process is a challenge.
