Start by Officially Defining Your Brand

Establish what your core brand is, what its values are, and commit to a logo, nickname, slogan and other details that create a consistent voice. When new information, content, or marketing is being considered, it should be checked to ensure it fits the brand’s requirements for consistency. (more…)

If you are planning on transforming your business through MSP marketing, you must first understand the difference between marketing and sales. This is an important element which should be taken into account in commercial operations because the results achieved by these two techniques are quite different. In general, both sales and marketing are aimed at increasing the company profits. However, if you assume that they are the same, the potential benefits of these strategies will decline. Consider this discussion on the distinction between marketing and sales in MSP businesses. (more…)

All Guns Blazing

IT marketing needs to take no prisoners or that which seemed sure may slip away. Say you’ve put together a marketing campaign, courted a client, and somehow, they’ve still slipped right through your fingers. Everyone’s been there and it’s ultimately unavoidable, but there is also a learning curve. (more…)

Decreasing Hesitancy

MSP marketing should communicate the security that cloud computing provides to gain clientele trust. With the cloud, data is uploaded into a group of servers representing expanded storage and computational ability. Data is stored in a sort of holographic way across all the servers. Space is “apportioned” for users and utilized for things like Hardware as a Service, Software as a Service, Desktop as a Service (HaaS, SaaS, DaaS) and more.

Don’t Let Confusion Dispel Your Profit

MSP marketing must communicate security in cloud solutions in order to help MSPs capitalize on a $1 trillion dollar-market (through direct and indirect spending) over the next five years.

There are factors confusing buyers; security chief among them. In 2016, there were a record number of security breaches. Estimates have 2017 putting that record out the window. But many of these breaches have less to do with cloud transition, and more to do with bush-league security.

The Importance of Networking

MSP business is part of an extensive network of technological development, ultimately encompassing many burgeoning aspects of modern technology. Remaining on the cutting-edge requires a bit more than even the most concerted research. In the process of sourcing new IT innovations and spreading their application, you need to go where those developing solutions are.

Diminishing Vendors Through Consumable Automation

MSP marketing needs to demonstrate value to potential clients. One of the best ways to do this is through showing tangible cost-savings. The more vendors involved in problem resolution, the more expensive this becomes for your end-user. Reasons include:

• Time/Opportunity Cost
• Maintaining More Relationships
• Increased Complications Between Issue Identification and Resolution

Organizing Information Between Multiple Locations

MSP marketing must consolidate data, but this can be difficult with more than one outlet. When a store has more than one location, it’s likely that multiple databases become involved in the categorization of clients. Inventory and the kind of customers which buy that inventory are categorized singly, but not entirely. The solution is consolidation, but this can be a little bit esoteric if you haven’t organized everything into a single database before. You want a single main server that collects all the information.

Certainly, you want there to be an on-site data storage solution, but that should be updated to a primary server which parses through all the data from all locations. This will allow you to properly conduct MSP marketing campaigns which most cohesively match target markets.
