Hi all,

I am new in this field and currently helping my boss to sell his fry. I wonder if any of the sifu can guide me on how to find customer for fry? My boss and me are totally new in this field, we don't have a customer base yet. So far, I've been thinking to do newspaper advertisement. But is very costly. sad.gif

Not exactly a long term solution, but you could try posting for free on Mudah.my (limited to single ad, and only personal ad). There are also many other websites and forums with dedicated aquaculture business threads.

You could also register with DOF, and have them list your company as one of the suppliers for the fries; and since you are producing fish of somewhat specialist niche (tenggalan and sultan are not commonly supplied), you might gain some traction.

Aside from all that, the most important thing is visibility. You need to get your business known; but you will also need to know who you are targeting. If you are targeting the internet savvy modern farmer, then having a blog or dedicated website that is well designed and laid-out will help a lot. Or collaborate with dedicated blogs that do so, eg. http://www.usahawantani.com/2008/05/pengel...pertingkat.html (however, the blog seems dormant now... so please double-check beforehand).
Other than that, you could look up people who do conduct aquaculture training, such as STAC, and work with them and their network:

Hope this helps.
