Industrial Park Marketing
LRI is one of the few companies in the world that offers international marketing services for industrial parks and estates. Traditionally, industrial parks/estates have been developed and marketed by municipalities and other public bodies primarily targeting domestic companies. However, with globalisation, foreign companies have become increasingly important as tenants.
For most industrial park developers, including municipalities, international marketing may be too costly to implement. LRI has the expertise to assist such developers in marketing their industrial parks/estates internationally. For more information on how we can help you, please contact us, read our International Marketing leaflet, or see here for a detailed Power-point on our service.
Case Study: Rabigh Conversion Industrial Park, Saudi Arabia
Working jointly with an engineering consulting firm, we implemented an international marketing plan for a 240 hectare industrial park designed to accommodate conversion industries, adjacent to a petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia, and sponsored by the Saudi national oil company and one of the largest international chemical companies. Our involvement in the project began with the preparation of a development concept and the identification of a market positioning, and continued through to the preparation and implementation of a marketing plan for North America and Europe.
We developed and used various marketing tools, including a website, brochures and leaflets in Arabic, English, German and Japanese, media advertising, seminars and workshops in New York, London and Dusseldorf, and direct marketing. We created a large direct marketing database of over 2,700 manufactures in 20 countries, with key contact details - our staff with local language knowledge communicated directly with decision-makers. See here for a press release on this project.

Our staff have technical expertise in traditional and innovative IT environments, with experience of system design, implementation and operation. This expertise and experience is used in all technology research and consulting exercises. We monitor European technology and IT industries on such issues as e-government programmes and IT procurement practices. Apart from research and consulting, we also develop databases and other technology solutions.
Bespoke Technology Marketing IT System
For technology marketing projects, LRI uses a bespoke IT system to implement direct technology marketing initiatives. The system comprises a database of companies worldwide, a flexible reporting system, a newsletter administration system, a contact log system and other marketing support systems. We have a dedicated team of members who maintain, continuously expand and update our technology database.

Through this IT system, LRI administers all technology marketing activities and regularly reports to clients on the status and response of technology marketing efforts.
