Need Advice on Marketing Offline Service
The company that we started is able to do the IT/marketing work that many of threads here talk about. We are more interested in the accounting/finance side of things, since that is what our backgrounds are in. Also, we feel that we can make more money offering these services vs. the IT/marketing services and with less resistance.
Do you think that we should market our services to the business owners for the accounting services and then get the marketing side of things or focus on the marketing and then get accounting? The benefit of an outsourced/offsite accounting firm is that you not need to have a bookkeeper/controller/accountant on staff. Ideally we would want to take over the entire accounting department of a company.
Do any of you think that we should set up an affiliate type of program? If so, based on the type of work for accounting services, the fee would be a minimum $1,000 per month per client with companies that have a minimum of 5 employees. What do you think would be a fair affiliate commission?
Or should we forget that and just handle the marketing ourselves by going to chamber meetings and associations and sending postcards/letters?
Any feedback would be appreciated and if any of you think we are totally off on trying accounting let me know that to!
Thanks,
Mark
