A service, such as the one provided by a Google Partner, has the ability to further prove its value to a client by offering them the option to have all of their marketing done for them through the use of a managed service. By marketing managed services into your current offerings as a Google Partner, clients will realize that you are able to fulfill all of their marketing needs, thus increasing your overall brand value. Knowing this, both prospective and new clients will be less likely to turn elsewhere which means you will have gained satisfied, long-term customers.
Create a new revenue stream
You may be thinking: "What benefit do I gain from offering more to my clients if it adds more work to my plate?"
Offering a service that takes care of your clients' marketing content creation and implementation strategy would be outside the scope of the typical services you provide your clients. Such a managed service would remain separate and would be an add-on option for your clients to take advantage of. With that said, this also means that offering a managed service has the potential to create an entirely new stream of revenue for your Google Partner business.
Marketing managed services as part of your business's menu of products and services means your business is now able to appeal to a larger and wider audience, which in turn will net you more clients and more revenue overall. And yes, while creating and managing your clients' marketing content for them sounds like it could take a lot of extra time and work; there are ways available for you to lighten the load.
Make it easier with marketing automation
A marketing automation platform makes running a managed service for your clients both easier and more efficient by providing you with the tools you need to help make creating and managing sophisticated marketing campaigns look effortless.
With a multi-channel automation platform, all the communication methods you need in order to effectively reach out to all your contacts are centralized in one place and able to be launched from within the same interface.
Create marketing flows that include both emails and SMS messages to be sent out automatically to your clients' clients by using their preferred method of contact. Create drip campaigns by creating and scheduling delays within a marketing flow to send the messages at a certain date and time. With a marketing automation platform, you can do all this and more with just a few clicks of your mouse.
