Value

With more than 200,000 pages visited every month and growing, ManufactureLink represents the best value online for creation of new sales leads and building new customer relationships.

ManufactureLink also provides you with the tools to give your company an effective, global web presence and present your professional reputation to your future customers with your included, interactive, multimedia enabled web page.

Internet registries, directories, phone book listings and journal ads are the traditional advertising methods to generate sales leads. The costs of these range from a few hundred dollars for one to two lines, up to a couple of thousand dollars for only a slightly enhanced listing. To list a description that comprehensively describes your business can cost upwards of $15,000 per year and still requires a customer to choose your ad over another based on the small amount of information presented, even before you even get the chance to quote.

To arrange your Provider (Supplier) account please contact Peter Lambe on (03) 9800-3666 or email plambe@amtil.com.au and we will step you through the process and discuss an option that best suits you.

Note: Provider (Supplier) accounts are only open to businesses operating in Australia and New Zealand. You will be required to provide a legitimate ABN or NZBN as part of the registration process to qualify for a supplier account.
