Remote Data Backups Focuses on Affiliate-Reseller Program to Provide Residual Incomes in Recessionary Times

Many highly-qualified, hard-working independent IT consultants are now struggling to survive on the traditional break-fix model. Today’s market is fiercely competitive. Saturated by the recession and layoffs it’s harder than ever to get new clients. Remote Data Backups is focusing on their Affiliate-Reseller Program to provide residual incomes in response.

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) January 31, 2009 — As many hard working IT consultants are struggling with these recessionary times, Remote Data Backups is focusing on their Affiliate-Reseller program to provide residual incomes for them.

Also, more tech-savvy clients are saving money by taking on more IT tasks themselves. This eats away at your billable hours.

Simply waiting for your clients to call when they have problems is no longer a viable business model. Occasional anti-virus and anti-spam installations, system upgrades, etc. are hardly enough to pay the bills.

So what can IT consultants do to get ahead?

The answer is simple. You don’t need to become an international conglomerate, outsource your work overseas, or learn dozens of new skills subliminally while you sleep.

You just need to align with the industry-leading Tech Partners that:

* Provide essential services for your clients, and

* Generate reliable residual income for you…

* With little time or money investment on your part.

Then, be sure to properly integrate those services into the core of your business.

Over 7,000 informed computer techs have discovered how easy it is to make substantial residual income with Remote Data Backups. Every business needs this critical service to protect their most valuable asset — their data — automatically and securely offsite. Most businesses are still sporadically using manual, onsite solutions that leave their data vulnerable, or are not backing up at all.

Joining Remote Data Backups’ Affiliate-Reseller Program is easy – just visit http://www.remotedatabackups.com/partners/index.htm to learn more. Click the “Sign-Up Free” button and fill out a quick form.

Their free, responsive and proactive 24/7 technical and sales support is second to none.

“Your time is too valuable to waste on a partner you can’t pick up a phone and talk to right away, especially for such a mission-critical service as backups,” says RDB affiliate John Clark. “Why reinvent the wheel? Remote Data Backups has all this down to a science. They can take care of everything, and keep your profit margins high.”

Added Revenue Source Keeps Growing

The best part is, while your 401k and other investments may be shrinking daily, your revenue stream as a Remote Data Backups’ Value-Added Reseller (VAR) can continue to grow exponentially:

Recurring Residual for the life of the client

Merkle Starts 2009 with Record Success and Growth

Strong Revenue, New Clients and Corporate Growth Fuel Company’s Momentum

Columbia, Md. (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 — Merkle (http://www.merkleinc.com/), one of the nation’s largest and fastest growing database marketing agencies, released its key highlights and achievements of 2008. Merkle ended the year with record revenue of $211 million, a 17% increase from 2007. Merkle’s accomplishments of note for 2008 include continued corporate growth and expansion, new client activity, industry leadership and several awards.

Corporate Growth and Expansion:

In 2008, Merkle celebrated its 20th anniversary under the leadership of President and CEO David Williams, who has grown the company from 25 employees in Maryland to more than 1,000 in offices across the country. This year, Merkle opened three new offices to meet the increasing demand for its data-driven marketing services. In June, Merkle opened its new, five-story 120,000 square-foot headquarters building in Columbia, Md. Also in June, the company relocated its response management division to a new, 125,000 square-foot building in Hagerstown, Md., which is more than six times larger than the previous facility. In September, Merkle announced the opening of a new office in Little Rock, Ark.

Merkle appointed Executive Vice President and a 13-year Merkle veteran Michael Mathias to lead Merkle’s new Agency Services Group, which develops strategic creative and production management solutions based on consumer insight. Merkle also hired several new executives to support the company’s various client management, content solutions, business development, database, analytics and interactive services groups. Last year, Merkle’s hosted database business grew by more than 50%, and its analytical services business more than doubled.

Client Activity:

In 2008, Merkle added more than 25 clients – in verticals such as retail, nonprofit, pharmaceutical, telecommunications and financial services – to its already diverse customer portfolio. New clients include The Limited, Tommy Hilfiger, Samsung, OnStar, Microsoft, Sanofi-Aventis, Corporate Express, GlaxoSmithKline, Wendy’s, Lincoln Financial and the United States Navy Memorial. In addition, last year the Arthritis Foundation, GMAC Insurance, GEICO, Dell, DIRECTV and Chase renewed and/or expanded their work with Merkle.

Industry Leadership:

Merkle solidified its spot as an industry thought leader throughout 2008. The company held its fifth annual database marketing summit in Austin, Texas. The summit bought together more than 200 marketing professionals from top organizations and featured the theme The Future of Database Marketing. Keynote speakers included chief marketing officers from GEICO and Dell, as well as Forrester Research senior analysts Dave Frankland and Suresh Vittal. Plans are underway for Merkle’s 2009 summit, which will be held June 4-5 in Boston.

Throughout 2008, several Merkle employees published white papers (http://www.merkleinc.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5) offering fresh marketing insight on a variety of topics, including marketing measurement, segmentation strategy and marketing data optimization. Merkle published its annual e-mail marketing trends study View from the Inbox. It also released the paper Measuring the Impact of Political Fundraising on Nonprofit Direct Mail Performance that examined nonprofit giving during election years. Additionally, several company executives were named to positions on numerous association boards.

Awards and Recognition:

Recognition came to Merkle in many forms in 2008. Advertising Age magazine ranked Merkle among the Top 10 Direct Marketing Agencies (http://adage.com/datacenter/article?article_id=126698), in the Top 15 U.S. Marketing Services Agencies and among the Top 30 Agency Companies in the world. Fundraising Success magazine awarded the firm a Gold Award for its work with Atlanta-based nonprofit CARE. Merkle was named a finalist for an OMMA award in Online Advertising Creativity. In addition, Merkle was ranked 31 in Deloitte and Touche’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 Ranking for Maryland, and the Baltimore Business Journal recognized Merkle as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Baltimore area.

“Marketing continues to be a dynamic industry, and 2008 was no exception. Merkle’s growth and success was a direct result of the true dedication, innovation, ideas and hard work of every Merkle employee,” said David Williams (http://www.merkleinc.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=195), Merkle President and CEO. “Despite the current economic environment, leading companies are continuing to seek marketing approaches that are based on quantitative facts and actionable data — today there is an even greater need for these marketers to ensure a high return on every marketing dollar spent. As we look ahead to 2009, we are determined to succeed in our vision to provide strategic, integrated customer marketing (http://www.merkleinc.com/) programs that are focused on helping our clients optimize their customer portfolios.”
