Managed Services Contract Signup Incentive

In talking to customers about managed services, we�re finding they are sometimes procrastinating in making a decision � we�re not getting a no but we�re not getting a yes yet either.� Proactive support and maintenance doesn�t seem to have enough urgency on it for people to make a decision quickly.� So, we thought we�d put our thinking caps on to see what kind of incentives we could offer for people to sign up, as a promotion we could then market.

Owning a small business is very stressful, and work/life balance seems to go out the window.� A recent study shows that workplace stress can be alleviated by up to 70% if a pet is introduced to the working environment.� To take advantage of this angle, we are looking to offer a free goldfish to anyone that signs up with a�managed service�plan in April.� These will be �Computer Troubleshooters orange� only coloured goldfish, to reinforce�our brand.

We are looking for a nationwide pet store chain that we could do a deal with so�we could�receive a discount on�purchasing�the goldfish.� In conjunction with the RSPCA, we are also investigating any humane ways to dye the scales so we can brand the logo on each side of the fish.
