It uses an intuitive, multi-lingual and customisable interface allowing vendors to input, categorise and target content to their partners.  In turn, partners are able to control what, when and where content is published, and can edit this content to make it their own, to deliver true value to their followers.</p><p>CEO and founder of purechannelapps, Olivier Choron, commented on the expansion. “Since June last year, we have seen socialondemand really take off.  Not only do we count new customers – vendors and distributors &#8211; in the UK, we also have several key channel partners of our own across Australia, France, Germany, Russia, Ireland and the US who are taking the solution to their own customers.”</p><p>“Bringing socialondemand into the United States has always been the company goal,” said Choron. “Now that we have established the effectiveness of socialondemand in delivering targeted social media content through the channel to reach and influence end-users, our expansion into the United States is a natural progression for us. The demand for innovative B2B social media tools is further advanced there, and moving forward, we want to get closer to our customers, and support our channels effectively as the demand for our solutions dictates.”</p><p>The results of socialondemand are starting to speak for themselves.  Acronis, a leading provider of easy-to-use disaster recovery and data protection solutions across physical, virtual and cloud environments, for example – an early adopter of the solution – is currently demonstrating the true capabilities of the technology.  Following a very successful 3-month trial in late 2011, the company decided to launch a formal programme in March 2012 under the name AcronisGoSocial. Over 100 Acronis resellers and distributors in five countries have already joined the programme and are actively reposting news from Acronis via social media. This is giving Acronis indirect access to over 60,000 ‘indirect followers and friends’ via their channel’s collective 210 social media accounts.</p><p>“We want to enable our partners to be more active in social media. This is why we have extended the reach of AcronisGoSocial and look forward to the further deployment of the platform within Acronis as part of our Global Partner Programme. We view the tool as a unique selling point for partners and we hope it will help us to fully engage our active partner community with valuable content,” commented Celine Astre, Global Senior Partner Programme Manager at Acronis.</p><p>Such responses from channel partners and their followers demonstrate much higher levels of return than traditional marketing communications such as email marketing, which usually average click through rates of around 2%.  socialondemand also facilitates a much closer association between partners and end-users, fully leveraging the trusted relationships that exist between these parties and giving the end-user a natural path to follow on its journey towards ultimate purchase.</p><p>“socialondemand is the first tool in a suite of channel tools we are planning to bring together to form a complete PRM solution based around the fluidity of information exchange.  It’s exciting to be part of such a dynamic market, and to see demonstrable results being achieved.  Our incorporation and expansion into the US will open many more doors for both us and our clients, and give us a platform upon which to add even more value to the channel internationally,” concluded Choron.</p><hr /><p>Register now for the next socialondemand webinar, which will include a live demo and will take place on Thursday, May 24th, 2012 4:00 PM &#8211; 5:00 PM BST.  Simply visit <a href="https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/704803622" class="external" rel="external" target="_blank">https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/704803622</a> to register.</p><p><strong>Supporting materials:</strong><br /> To learn more about purechannelapps visit <a href="../../" class="local-link">http://purechannelapps.com</a></p><p>To learn more about socialondemand, please read the solution overview at <a href="../../uploads/socialondemand_solutionoverview.pdf" class="local-link">http://purechannelapps.com/uploads/socialondemand_solutionoverview.pdf</a></p><p><strong>About purechannelapps:</strong><br /> purechannelapps Limited delivers innovative, revolutionary and channel-focused web- and app-based solutions that help vendors – be it hardware manufacturers, software editors or other suppliers – better influence and collaborate with their channel partners and intermediaries. purechannelapps’ motto is to simplify many of the vendor-to-partners business processes found in complex channel eco-systems and to increase vendor profitability.

The tool will be used to syndicate targeted social media content to segmented end-users via an Acronis network of 300 selected partners in the UK, Australia, Germany and the US.  Using socialondemand, Acronis aims to build strong brand awareness and PR, whilst driving a positive influence on the end-user decision making process – a benefit which often eludes channel-centric vendors.</p><p>“We want to enable our partners to be more active in social media. This is why we are now rolling out the platform globally and look forward to the further deployment of the platform within Acronis as part of our Global Partner Programme.

Having put together channel lead gen campaigns for years, I know the downfalls of the spray and pray approach, but somehow I just can’t bring myself to trash it quite so readily.  I’ve read many a blog about comparing the two, but the thing is you’re not comparing apples for apples.</p><p>I’ve been keeping an eye on the stats of campaigns that come across my desk.  Emails are getting an open rate of around 20% (sometimes a lot lower!), with click through rates of about 2-3%.  Not bad.  Then I see results from socialondemand, our online tool that enables vendors to syndicate their rich content through their channel partners’ social networks.  Posts are achieving click through or download rates of nearly 8% (based on the number of the partners’ followers).  Maybe time to hit the like button.</p><p>It’s not just the post click results that are impressive.  It’s the reach as well.  8% of thousands of current followers is much more attractive to a marketer like me than 2% of a few thousand on an ageing email list, purchased a few years ago.</p><p>We recently did a tally of the potential audience for socialondemand for one of our clients.  We took 22 of their top partners, and added up how many followers they had.  Of the 22, only four had no social media presence at all, and the other 18 had over 4.5k followers / connections between them.  They are looking to recruit about 100 socially active partners initially, which will give them access to around 25k end-user followers within one click. And that’s a conservative estimate, as we didn’t include followers of individual staff within the partner, just their corporate accounts.</p><p>So there are two things that are warming my social cockles compared to direct marketing techniques… reach and currency of contact information.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s still worth combining the two, but social media is definitely on my Christmas card list.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://purechannelapps.com/news/2012/02/new-roi-metrics/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>CCI and purechannelapps announce major partnership agreement</title><link>http://purechannelapps.com/news/2012/01/cci-and-purechannelapps-announces-major-partnership-agreement/</link> <comments>http://purechannelapps.com/news/2012/01/cci-and-purechannelapps-announces-major-partnership-agreement/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:38:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>olivier</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Press Releases]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://purechannelapps.com/news/?p=95</guid> <description><![CDATA[purechannelapps™ has signed a major reseller partnership agreement with CCI, a leading resource for software and services to manage channel programs,  to resell its social media tool – socialondemand® – in North America.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>BATTLE, UNITED KINGDOM, January 11, 2012</strong> – purechannelapps™, a leading provider of social media management solutions for sales channels based in the UK,  announce a major partnership with CCI, a leading provider of channel management software and services in the US, to sell and support socialondemand® in North America.</p><p>The socialondemand application allows marketers to increase their social media reach exponentially by providing content to channel partners for further placement on their own social media accounts, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and more. Partners have the option of appending the content, or automatically posting the content provided, assuring its ease of use.  What’s more, marketers can selectively provide the content that’s appropriate for each partner segment, so resellers and other channel partners will only be offered content that is relevant to them based on the products and solutions they provide and the customers they target.</p><p>“Social media is of growing importance for our clients, and the socialondemand solution makes it easy for our clients to extend their social media strategy through their channel network.” says Debra Delaney, CEO at CCI.  “This partnership with purechannelapps is a perfect fit with our mission to help clients improve their channel marketing efforts efficiently and affordably.”</p><p>“socialondemand is rapidly been perceived in the market place as a very effective tool to reach end-users via a given vendor’s partner social networks,” commented Olivier Choron, Founder and CEO of purechannelapps.  “Having such a well-established client base in North America, CCI is ideally placed to extend our reach beyond the European market.  We look forward to a dynamic and fruitful partnership moving forward with CCI,” he added.</p><p>The partnership is designed to capitalize on dramatic growth of social media as an information resource for buyers of business to business products.  Over $3 billion will be spent to advertise on social media sites in 2012, and two-thirds of IT professionals use social media to stay current on topics and resources. By extending social media strategies through their channel partners, marketers can extend the reach of their social marketing by a thousand times or more. In addition, as their channel partners are strapped for resources, these partners are seeking ways to extend their sales and marketing efforts easily and affordably.
