Here’s a discovery I thought might be of interest to our readers. Apparently, you can get a free web blog (also called blogs if you’re in the know) hosted by importassist.com if you’re involved in the field of international trade.

Blogs are an important communication tool for import/export companies because they allow them to publish their latest finds, solicit from new vendors, market themselves to the international trade community, etc. They’re also a great resource for import business advice.

I know a lot of our members have been looking to start their own blogs but are lacking either the resources or technical know-how to get one started. What I like about importassist.com is that they’ve taken the difficulty out of starting your own website and instead are hosting any and all the trade-related blogs that care to sign up.

As I see it, there are three benefits to using importassist.com to host your company’s import/export or international trade blog:

• It’s free and the sign up is relatively simple.
• The community is fairly new, and getting in on the ground floor is always a good thing.
• Since they’re concentrating just on import/export and international trade blogs it’s likely that they’ll become a resource for members of that community. A targeted audience like that would be very valuable to the members of the Informed Trade International community.
