Channel Marketing

The Challenge With Channel Marketing
Over the past 15 years or so we have worked with some of the world’s leading market vendors in the high technology industry, and so we understand the challenges that can often face channel partners, resellers and service providers when it comes to Vendor MDF programs; otherwise known as market or marketing development fund programs.

About

MDF programs and channel marketing activities are hugely beneficial to both the partner or reseller and the vendor and so it’s not one to be skipped over. Here’s why.

Vendors often contribute a portion of their marketing budget to fund co-branded channel activities meaning their brand portfolio reaches a wider audience with less strain on resources. And on the contrary, partners and resellers benefit from this budget contribution (for obvious reasons). It’s also worth noting that partners and resellers can potentially benefit from greater rebates when their sales numbers increase due to the additional marketing activities. Win-win.

However, multiple vendors, countless complex products and limited resources mean that MDF marketing is often pushed to the bottom of the priority list for partners and resellers. But a good marketing program can improve your brand image, raise your company’s profile and drive business growth. 

This is where the team at MarketEdge.ie can help.
