IT Marketing: Mailing to Your Current Customer Database

Doing a mailing to your current customer database is a really great place to start. In this article, you'll learn why this IT marketing strategy can be so effective.

Your Customers Already Know You

Doing an IT marketing mailing to your current customers is a great place to start because, for one thing, you already own the list. But even more importantly, they already know, like, and trust you. And that's one of the biggest obstacles to overcome when you're doing any kind of direct marketing like this.

IT Marketing: What to pitch?

If you feel comfortable talking with business owners and business managers about providing virus protection, firewalls, passwords, data backup, and power protection, you have a good opportunity to tie in the IT audit concept and data protection.

Offer a heavily discounted IT audit package. Let's say that it's regularly $400, but as a special now through the expiration date, it's $299. You might consider putting an extra bonus in there, like an entry-level battery backup unit, or surge protector, or your prized system inventory worksheet template, or a CD or DVD from the last data protection seminar you gave. As part of your IT marketing strategy, give away something you think will have that little bit of an extra pull.

IT Marketing: Keep track of your results

If you see that you get five percent inquiries and half of those inquiries ultimately end up taking the audit, this gives you a good baseline to measure and compare other lists and the responses you get from similar mailings.

You're going to have a much more receptive audience with your existing customers than anyone else through your IT marketing efforts. If you're doing any kind of outbound telemarketing, even if they're not customers you've done a lot of work for, at least these people know you and they hopefully like you and trust you.

Help Your Customers Utilize What They Already Have

Look to your existing customer relationships to find out additional ways that you can help them better use what they already own. There is an excellent chance that they've bought a lot of things that are collecting dust. If they are using them, they may be only scratching the surface of their usefulness.

IT Marketing: Cementing Relationships

These are not only great opportunities for you to help them get more out of what they already own, it's also a great opportunity for you to pick up a lot of good, incremental service revenue. And it's also a great way for you to cement the long-term loyalty and relationships that are really important for any computer consulting business.

The Bottom Line on IT Marketing

Using your existing clients for IT marketing is a great first step. You can either introduce new products or services or help them better utilize technology they already have.

Intel Copper Core Socket 478 Heat Sink and Fan up to 3.40GHz

Intel Copper Core Socket 478 Heat Sink and Fan up to 3.40GHz
This Intel C91249-002 heat sink and fan will keep your Socket 478 processor running at its optimal best! It features an aluminum heat sink with copper core and a 2.5-inch fan.

Designed for use with all Intel® Pentium® 4 processors and Intel® Celeron® processors in the 478 pin package including 2.8E processors and 3.0 GHz up to 3.40 GHz!

Customer Review: Intel Copper Core Socket 478 Heat Sink and Fan is good, but...

I am a software tech. I got tired of this fans hum, and started looking elsewhere-

1. I tried the ASUS Neptune K7 CPU Fan, & was no good (but quiet/hot)- did not cool as well as the GOOD stock Intel fan!

2. Zalman fans... weren't any better (VERY hard to mount, and don't cool as well as the Intel!).

Bottom line- Live with the low Intel hum (tune it out/don't dwell on it...!), but excellent cooling (read the reviews!)!

Customer Review: Does its thing but very loud

This relatively low profile (for its class) fan/heatsink does what it's supposed to very well on my 2.93ghz Celeron mod machine, but it is loud to the point of distraction. (I can easily hear it 20+ft away & down the hall.) I wish I knew the db specs on it because I would have a great gauge on what to look out for in the future.

If you can live with the noise and are still working with socket 478, it's a very standard & no pain install, and it'll do what you need. Otherwise, it might be best to look elsewhere.

Rated four because I don't have great airflow in my mod machine but this fan/heatsink does its thing anyways. Rated two (I'm being nice actually) for the noise. The final Three rating is an average.
