Business Advertising

You never know where your Advertising will end up

While browsing through the newspaper today in the classified ads section, one special ad caught our eyes.

Recently there are many foreign companies advertising products and services in Medan’s Newspapers including accommodations, apartments, hotels and properties in Penang, Malaysia, Singapore etc. This is because many Medanese travel to Penang, Malaysia and Singapore for medical check up, medical treatments and of course shopping.

But this ad is unique as you can read below.

The classified ad reads as translated:

FOR SALE

“A Factory that sells Beef Balls, Fish etc.
(Complete with Machines) In Thailand.
If interested Tel: (Singapore) (+65) (9448 9393) Or Send Email to SM6000@yahoo.com.sg”

Did you notice the uniqueness of this ad appearing in Medan Newspaper?

I am sure anyone would agree that the ad seem irrelevant to Medan but obviously the owner based in Singapore with a business in Thailand seems to feel that Medan has a potential to purchase the business. And the owner could be right! It certainly caught our attention.

Anyone interested? Feel Free to call or email

Times to Avoid traveling to Medan

Ceng Beng period:

Around April every year, as Medan will be crowded with most Medanese traveling from all over the world, mostly Jakarta and Singapore to Medan to pay respects to ancestors during this Ceng Beng month

School Holidays - June - July and December

As many Medanese send their children for education in Singapore. When the school holidays season start in Singapore, you will expect these school children to return to Medan to visit their parents. Likewise, the parents of these children will also travel to Singapore to visit their children for those that have houses in Singapore. These flight traffic will affect the availability of seats and definitely the prices of air tickets for your flights.

Medan School Holidays will also affect flights from Singapore to Medan as these are the times when eager parents will take vacations with their children bringing them to Singapore and other countries. Since Medan has no direct flights to many parts of the world, Medanese have to make a transit stop in Singapore for their onward journey to other holiday destinations.

Idul Fitri

This festive season will also affect flights from Medan to Singapore and vice versa as many factories will be closed in Medan due to the long holiday that has been set for Indonesia. The holiday will usually last for a week and factories will take this opportunity to close for two weeks and go for their annual vacations.

So you may want to avoid traveling to Medan in the last week of this holiday season as Medanese make their return to Medan.
