Consignments
At Thompson Machinery, we’re all about one thing: getting your machinery into the hands of buyers who know a thing or two about equipment. We’re continually expanding our inventory of earthmoving, paving, mining, landfill, and aggregate equipment, and we’re very serious about it!
Our sales team uses all the tools at their disposal: advertising in trade publications, email campaigns, newsletters, websites, you name it. But the secret sauce to our success? Targeting the right buyers based on their history—we’re basically using a data-powered crystal ball to find folks who need exactly what you’re selling. And, just to keep things fresh, we’re exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help us track buyer intent for heavy machinery.
Here are 12 fantastic reasons why consigning your machinery with us is like getting a free vacation (minus the beach, but still pretty great):
