Marketing your MSP – from Start to the Next Bit (there is no finish!)
Hi there, I’m delighted and flattered that Zen Software have asked me to write a guest blog, and we thought that some simple steps to get started on marketing your MSP business would be a topic that worked for both of us, and hopefully you, too!
Firstly…if you’re not doing ‘much’ (or even ‘any’!) marketing, you’re not alone! In my previous roles of Head of Marketing for Ingram Micro and Network Group as well as in the work I do now, I meet a lot of MSPs. Almost without exception they tell me sheepishly “I know I should be doing more (for which I read ‘some’) marketing”. Or “Here’s my card, but don’t look at the website, it’s being redesigned.” Or if they’re being honest: “I just don’t know where to start!”.
So, here’s where to start. And by the end of this blog post, you’ll have no excuse not to – so be prepared! ☺
October, as you'll probably know, is the unofficial 'silly season' for IT gatherings in the UK.
It's around this time each year, vendors, exhibition companies and industry bodies go all out competing for the attention of the IT support companies and MSP's they'd like at their events.
