Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Reseller Hosting : How to promote new company??

[taitdon]

We are a couple of ancient computer literate guys in Australia planning to become resellers and put a little more bread on the table. We understand most of what is required but need assistance in marketing. Whilst we understand privacy issues, we would like to talk to other resellers about how they market (other then on the Internet), such as media advertising, phone solicitation, mail outs, etc.

Any help much appreciated.

dont get sucked into the bidding wars at goto.com
2 bux per click is heavy and all the alabanza folks are there giving it away for less than 7$--it seems like a waste of time and money for that particular venue

What !!! You guys have bread ?
I have only plain water, and only afford one glass a day !


Different countries may response to different tactic on advertising, a successful ad campaign in US may not guarantee to be a workable solution in Australia.

Probably you can talk to some advertising firms in your area, give them a budget and they should be able to work out somthing for you.

Hi.

Try http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com/ for info on online banner ads.

You put a banner on their exchange and only pay per click. (Make sure you have logs so that you can check when someone does come from them - stop yourself getting riped off).

Hope it help.

I don't know about you miami, but I spend around $200 a month on goto.com and I get my moneys worth.
