I came across this sentence and was surprised that the gerund was used instead the infinitive with to:

The best way for promoting a service is to give customers what they want and to satisfy them.

Why is it not written "to promote" ?Is it a mistake? I don't think so . Is there a difference in the meaning between for and to in this case? Would it be possible to write "The best way of promoting a service"

    Yes, the best way of is more usual than the best way for but both are possible and equivalent to the use of the infinitive.

Yes, way (in the sense of "method", "means") normally takes a to-infinitive clause, or of followed by an -ing clause, rather than a complement introduced by for.

So

The best way to promote a service

or

The best way of promoting a service.

The example you found the best way for promoting a service is understandable, but not idiomatic. Maybe it was written by somebody who is not a native English speaker.
