Take AIM for a maketing boost

With the pandemic still limiting face-to-face opportunities, resellers need to focus on digital marketing to promote their business, engage with customers and win new business

 

But that can be easier said than done. Finding the time can be a real struggle. Many resellers don’t have the in-house expertise to create a digital marketing strategy, or the knowhow to tackle different aspects of executing it, such as running a LinkedIn campaign or setting up webinars

Agency Ingram Micro (AIM) – your marketing partner

We know marketing can be a challenge, so Agency Ingram Micro is here to act as your marketing partner. Our experts are available to help you with all aspects of digital marketing, plus strategy, branding, advertising, content production and more. And we’re already up to speed on the technology you’re selling. You can trust us to understand your business and the dynamics of the IT channel, and to help your business thrive.

 

Cisco AIM – created for Cisco CMSP partners

As part of our support for resellers, we’ve put together a range of marketing services specifically for Cisco Cloud & Managed Service Program (CMSP) partners. This makes it easier to access the type of marketing support you need and use your CMSP funding to pay for it. Best of all, you can take advantage of our Marketing-as-a-Service option. This means we handle the creation and running of marketing campaigns, leaving you free to do what you do best – run your business and keep your customers happy. Ordering services can take as little as five minutes – it’s fast, convenient and effective.

 

Cisco is backing a digital focus –

Cisco recently revamped its global Cloud & Managed Services Program, and highlighted the importance of digital marketing. Boon Lai, vice-president of global partner marketing at Cisco, said channel partners needed to improve digital marketing to get greater rewards. “The role of marketing is becoming more crucial than ever,” he said. “Companies that embrace digital and have a strong digital marketing practice see a 9.5% increase in revenue year-on-year.”1
