Are You In the 66% of Technology Service Providers Without a Marketing Strategy?

Does Your MSP Have a Marketing Strategy?

Is your business providing exceptional service but still struggling to bring in new clients? Your MSP marketing might be to blame, but there’s an easy answer to this dilemma.

Is your MSP thriving, with plenty of leads and clients waiting in the wings? Or are you struggling a bit and wondering where your marketing and advertising are going wrong? Just as technology solutions have changed dramatically in the past decade, so has marketing. Competition is fast and furious for the best clients, and your competitors are hungry to take advantage of your market. If you’re finding it difficult to devote enough time for marketing, you’re certainly not alone — more than 66% of technology service providers surveyed agreed that their marketing strategy was not in the best shape. Just as you coach your clients on outsourcing their IT services, it might be time for you to consider passing off your marketing duties to a trusted partner.

What Are Your Top Marketing Priorities?

Sixty-three percent of businesses note that their top marketing challenge is generating traffic and leads for their business according to Hubspot. The first page of Google search results may be the Holy Grail of internet marketing, but there are often millions of results returned for a single user’s search — and only the first ten are likely to be viewed. It’s hard to dispute the value of content marketing when it comes to driving organic search activity across various platforms, with the Content Marketing Institute noting that content marketing is responsible for triple the leads that are gained from paid search advertising. Even though you may see the value of this type of engagement for your business, are you and your staff members uniquely qualified to take on the world of content marketing?

Exceptional Content Requires Commitment

Creating a content calendar is relatively easy, and something that you could knock out quickly. You know what your audience is interested in, right? While you might be great at a one-time push for content, it’s only a matter of time until the needs of your business pull you away from the relentless machine that is required to generate exceptional content. Staying on task can be incredibly difficult when there are myriad other priorities tugging you in different directions, which is why many organizations are turning to outsourced marketing partners who truly and deeply understand their business model to help keep your marketing on track.
