The electronic age has arrived. But don't be put off if you are happy with the way things are, just carry on as usual. This is another option from Catering Update to put you in touch with the suppliers you are interested in.
What we do know is that our readers react to what they see in Catering Update and expect to receive the response to their request fast.
So, for those of you who are online you will be pleased to know we have formed an alliance with Optima, which specialises in reader services. Optima uses fast track techniques to speed the whole reponse process.
For the first time, readers can go online for information on editorial and advertising items found within the pages of this magazine.
Online users can link directly onto suppliers' websites via our new enquiry hotlink service. In time we expect more and more readers to use this fast and convenient route to information.
Readers using card-and-post in the usual way are treated urgently, too. Optima's fast track enquiry service will email leads to suppliers on the day they are received. They will be sent as a csv file to enable easy transfer to a spreadsheet or word document.
So why not give it a try? You will also be able to link to caterer.com and other useful sites and, as time goes by, this website will grow and grow and become an integral part of your business as well as ours.
Welcome to the future. Now.
