SBSC-Central Region-Midwest Area

Time is running out for you to claim your $500 rebate.

Microsoft Small Business Specialists (SBSCs) have access to rebate funds reserved exclusively for them! SBSCs are eligible to receive up to $500 back on marketing investments.

Funds are available for you to drive demand generation efforts through Ready-to-Go Marketing (includes Events, Campaigns, and various Marketing Services). We want to help you to grow your business.

Don’t wait: These funds exclusive to SBSCs are valid until December 31, 2010 or until supplies last. More information is available here.

To get your reimbursement, submit your invoice at www.mspartnerdirect.com/rebate. Your special promotional code is: ‘SBSC500H1‘

I wanted to wait and give you all a chance to claim you share, so I didn’t do anything until this past weekend.  The money is still there, but it won’t be there for long.

In case you were wondering, over the past couple of years, I have done just about every type of campaign that one can do on the Ready-To-Go Marketing site.  Direct Mail campaigns have been around for what seems like forever.  You have a choice between Send Direct Mail or Print and Ship.  You can even purchase a mailing list on the site.  Most of the “Campaigns” are quite complete, including printable collateral, customizable direct mail pieces,  web content, presentations and telesales guides.  Pick and choose what you need.

On the “Services” side, you can have someone else to the hard work for you.  They can help you with your website or social media.  They can provide fresh contacts and leads.  They can set appointments for you.  For smaller partners without a dedicated marketing team, these services are a huge help.

BTW, the $500 is a REBATE.  You need to spend the money on an approved campaign and apply for the rebate.  It took me all of 60 seconds to complete the form.  It doesn’t get much easier than that.

As we prepare end this year and begin the next, I’d like to “plan” on meeting you.  Every year I attend a number of industry events.  I’d like to meet my fellow SBSC members.  To find out where I’ll be next drop me a line or follow me,
