Good day NL, I have a concrete block industry located in Abuja, along Lugbe and would be grateful if anyone can help me secure building contract or connect me to anyone who can help. The blocks are of good quality and we do on site production as the case maybe. Please Nairalanders help fellow nairalander. God bless you. Please don't just view but comment as well please

if you are serious am @mpape.

You need good business proposal and packaging. As they say : Packaging is marketing

Join a political party in nigeria ,that is the first step to take in order to be a very successful businessman in nigeria

@digitite, we have a company proposal

@Texaco1, please can you explain? I don't understand

salisuammy: @digitite, we have a company proposal

Act on it then. Just that the construction/block industry is not my line, I would have offered a service.....I stick to what I know ......

Good luck in your endeavor.

@digitite,But you can help me talk to people you know na, thanks a lot for your post though

@salisuammy

Besides, why don't you take your company online, perhaps open a blog and share your expertise about the block industry online....That way you could attract potential clients....

salisuammy: @digitite,But you can help me talk to people you know na, thanks a lot for your post though

I can't promise anything..... just that people i meet are mostly in my IT field....

@digitite, thanks I never thought about that oo. I appreciate

salisuammy: @Texaco1, please can you explain? I don't understand

let me try and explain things to you. You see the construction industry is a different industry entirely because patronage oof ones business is based on personal contact and relationship with ppl. In a normal marketing sense u may have a product and just walk up to anyone and sell ur product unfortunately this isn't the case in the building industry ,most of the time u need ppl to refer and recommend you to other practitioners and builders. I am sorry to deflate ur expectation but online stuff won't do ur block industry anything. You need to do 3 things ,first is you need to join a party in nigeria ,this will enable to to mix and know a wide range of people , you also need to widen ur scope of business by doing building constructions , you will need to get to know some architects and builders ,you need to mix with professionals in the building industry ,familiarize urself with them, then last but not the least don't limit ur products to blocks alone ,try and include other things ,buy interior decoration bulbs or items samples from china or Italy,show them to ppl you have gotten to know both through the party or building ,they may not make orders immidiately but they will start noticing you . Sooner or later if an opportunity comes up they will remember you. The main thing is you need to know ppl .

salisuammy: @digitite, thanks I never thought about that oo. I appreciate

Mr Man she dn't need blog b4 she can market or promote her block industry. .

I support wat toluxa1 said. . Na pple wey knw person dey chop well in construction line. . If u're looking for client online u're just wasting ur time because many building engineers ve their supplier already.

@Op wat i will add to what toluxa said is dat You should relocate to new site,

You just have to Market yourself. Word of mouth would do.

Announce yourself in your locality. Probably hang a notice at the gate of your house.

If you are a christian, talk to the groups you belong to...you can talk to the president ( and other presidents) of your group to make an announcement about your block industry.

Since you reside in Lugbe, you can as well check Estates under construction (River Park etc) and propose to the contractor in charge. Your price should be close to what others are selling or else you would be out of business.

If you are Catholic, simply advertised on their sunday bulletin (Find out how much they advertise).

Some one suggested you should belong to a political party in Nigeria. That's true sha...buh before you could get juicy contracts you must do something worth for the party.

All the best.

Sometimes, prospective builders may come online seeking information on building a house in Abuja, that require blocks..... And also, those based abroad who need first hand information and to brush up on the issue.

Combining offline marketing with online marketing in this age and day can go a long way in creating opportunities....

She can also post pictures of the blocks, their qualities and so on, and can supplement it by analyzing Abuja construction industry/sector...

what she can sell online is building consultancy services not blocks .if she offers to design buildings for people and also update her site with current building materials prices in the market ,then she may have a chance . She can have a website which will be wholly dedicated for building materials both local and imported.
