MSP Advertising

[ComputerWhisperer]

I'm trying to really start pushing our RMM packages to our area. Just wondering where to start. Most of our existing business clients are already converted. How do my fellow MSP advertise this type of service? What selling points are the best for signing new clients?

You won't do that well by throwing it out there as another product or service in your bag. The best way to get more MSP clients is to qualify leads and existing customers. I would not recommend marketing a monthly plan for the sake of filling a flyer or postcard with content. Most businesses will just see it as another monthly expense or won't understand what managed services is. Find their pain. This can be done as they come to you for existing problems.

Our best foot in the door service has been backup. Both cloud based for individual machines and server based using Datto or similar solution.

I have had the most success converting existing clients. I am working with yp.com on some advertising at the moment. I really want the end goal to be more msp clients. I find it hard to advertise break/fix services with all the competition. This is coming to be b2b advertising so I need to focus on services they value.

Be very careful with yp.com as there is a lot of bad reviews on them out there.

I will be doing a direct mail ad with them. Not an online ad. Where can I find reviews for them?

The only one I can find now is here:

But on another forum I belong to there was quite a few negative complaints also.

Just be very careful with them and read the agreements that they try to lock you into.

Why not use USPS EDDM? Just about every printer on the planet will design a compatible flyer or postcard for EDDM.

I looked into that but I'm looking to really target certain business types to get a better return.

I recently did a YP campaign with their print and online. Although their Online marketing yielded some customers it was not worth the price. Ended up dropping them and going with a marketing agency.

How did the print campaign go? What kind of volume did you do?

My experience with their Irish presence has not been good at all but only insofar as online and print advertising goes. I can't comment on their direct mailing.

I can comment on someone else's direct mailing though and that is Ewan Mc on the Warrior Forum. See his offer thread there. http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior...t-pay-media-until-you-read-urgent-update.html

He's the real deal. I mean really really real.
