VAR Solutions
Solution -- Marketing
Nearly every VAR has some marketing program, ranging from the simplest web-site (often out-dated) to full-time promotional activities.
Shaggy Dog will bring substantial exposure to your organizaton through a wide variety of marketing options. The Dog's emphasis is on filling those gaps that currently exist due to minimal human or financial resources.
As an example, a VAR with one or more vertical markets needs to be active in those industry's trade organizations and attend and/or exhibit at trade shows. Additionally, customized newsletters and marketing pieces should be designed for each market. All of these activities place a high demand on limited manpower and can excise a fair number of dollars from a marketing budget. Shaggy Dog will provide the manpower while saving money and still meet the goal of participation. We are able to do this by providing our resources to non-competing VARs and ISVs while representing them in the appropriate trade group. An inquiry through the form on our Contact Us page will give you more detailed information on the breadth and costs of these services.
Solution -- Hardware
Shaggy Dog provides access to Dell products at wholesale prices. Offering hardware will help control the software sale and will keep the VAR aware of post-sale developments.
