How Does New York Sourcing Activity Stack Up To National Trends?

The supply chain in New York looks very different than the supply chain across the country. Just two of the most in-demand products and services (Machining and Printed Circuit Boards) within the state are also among the most in-demand products and services nationally. 

If you are a New York supplier who offers these capabilities, you should look to take advantage of the demand by taking a proactive marketing approach. That means investing in PPC ads, promoting your products and services using video, and making sure that in-market buyers can find you.

If you offer any of the other products or services on the list, then you have a unique opportunity to connect with the local buyers who are looking for a partner like you. Take advantage of the opportunity with targeted PPC ads and smart, industrial-focused retargeting.
