How many different ways does RTITB promote you as an Accredited Training Provider? There are too many to list here! But here are just some of the ways that we help promote you and support your marketing efforts.
1. A Complete Marketing Toolkit
Marketing takes time. And we know you may not have a dedicated marketing person in your business. That’s why we have created a complete Marketing Toolkit for you.
This is packed with simple resources that can help you to promote your business and your achievements. The Marketing Toolkit includes guidance on producing social media content and blogs, as well as template press releases to use, and much more. It is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it is as useful as possible for our members.
This year we will be adding even more to the marketing toolkit, including:
• Pre-made social media posts
• A guide to using social media
• A guide to Google Ads
• A guide to LinkedIn advertising
• A guide to writing a press release
• An A5 leaflet design that you can print and distribute in your local area
• Banner designs you can use for your premises or events you attend
Find the marketing toolkit now on your MyRTITB Portal or contact the marketing team if you’d like to be shown where this is, and to talk about how to use it.
2. Google Ads Every Month
As an Accredited Training Provider, your business is listed in the Course Locator on the RTITB website. We help people find this with paid Google Ad campaigns each month. Marketing budget is invested in this every single month.
This means when people search for relevant keywords, our Ads appear in the top results, directing them to the Course Locator. Some of the top keywords we target include ‘forklift course near me’, ‘forklift operator course’, ‘lift truck training’, and many more. And from April 2025 to March 2026, there have been 17,669 page views of the Counterbalance Operator course website page.
3. Course Locator Promotion
As well as promoting the Course Locator via Google Ads, we also drive visitors there in other ways. For example, we regularly promote the Course Locator via social media posts. In these posts, we continue to encourage people to select an RTITB Accredited Training Provider for the courses they need.
We also frequently post blog articles which showcase the benefits of choosing an RTITB Accredited Partner to deliver training.
Remember – we’re always happy for you to share our blogs via your social media channels or on your website too. Take a look at the blog or ask the marketing team for more information.
4. On Hold Phone Messages
Have you ever called RTITB? Then you might have heard that we advise people to find Training Providers in our on-hold phone messages.
These give callers instructions on how to access the Course Locator via the RTITB website. Also, the types of courses that can be searched for.
5. Supporting You at Events
If you’re attending a local event to promote your business, you only need to talk to RTITB for support. Very often, we can supply our RTITB Accredited Training Providers with free merchandise to help promote their business. We can also help promote your attendance at events via our social channels.
RTITB also attends numerous national trade shows for the logistics and warehousing industry. There are opportunities to partner with RTITB to promote your business on our exhibition stand. Plus, we can also give you help and advice if you wish to attend these larger shows.
Speak to our marketing team about how we can support you with events.
6. Helping You Win Awards
We want our Training Providers to be recognised for their fantastic achievements. In the marketing toolkit, you will find a Guide to Entering Industry Awards to help make it easy for you to create a (hopefully winning) entry.
Our marketing team can also help you identify awards to enter if this is an area you want to explore. There is no cost for this expert advice. Just ask!
We also love putting together joint award entries with our Accredited Training Providers! These showcase how RTITB accreditation in conjunction with your high training standards have helped you or your customers achieve big things.
7. Joint Case Studies
We collaborate with our accredited partners to create co-branded case studies. These showcase how we worked together and why it has benefitted your business.
All the case studies we create with our partners are professionally designed as a PDF. They appear on the RTITB website. And we promote them via social media posts, as well as in our marketing e-newsletters, reaching around 40,000 people.
You are also encouraged to use the PDF documents for your own sales and marketing. For instance, your team can share them with their contacts to help grow the business with new enquiries. Or you could add the information to your website to showcase it to existing and potential customers.
If you want to collaborate on a case study, please contact our marketing team.
8. Free Resources
We continue to develop free resources for our members. These may be helpful for you, and they can also be used to give your customers added value. Sharing these easy to understand, informative resources allows you to help your customers, and build strong relationships.
