"Opt-in Mail" is MarkLines' own unique service that enables messages regarding subjects of mutual interests in specific categories of the automotive parts sector to be received among MarkLines' fellow members.
Buyers, Engineers, Designers, and others obtain the ability to receive information that is customized to suit their own specific component information needs. And always, the messages you receive come only from our members, who share common interests in the automotive and supplier industry.

In the first decade of the 21^st century, we believe that the market will enthusiastically welcome companies which are dynamic in their pursuit of global business opportunities. These are companies that aggressively move beyond their current business affiliations and customer base. The trends in modularization and systemization of parts procurement will accelerate the flow of new relationships between suppliers and new business transactions. In line with this, a liberalized business environment is the optimal environment for suppliers to realize fully the advantages of the internet. Through our past experience, we recognize that the Internet, in and of itself, is not almighty. However, on the basis of knowing what the Internet can and can not do, we do believe that there are tremendous possibilities for the industry. We believe the key concepts for competitiveness in the new era are superior access to information, highly sensitive marketing and procurement capabilities, in addition to universal manufacturing and product development technology.

This service allows you to send e-mail to specifically targeted, potential customers such as marketing and purchasing staff, designers, engineers, etc. You can describe new products, technological updates and/or company news.
In addition, you can advise a selected audience about modifications or enhancements to any of your products displayed on our Product Spotlight. In other words, our Opt-in-Mail service adds extra impact by letting you actively promote your product presentations so that they go to work for you, whereby your promotion will be even more effective.
