Hi, I have seen some hosts who provides some free stuff with their hosting plans. i.e. adwords coupons, free softwares, free templates and some other cool offers. How can I provide such free stuff with hosting to my clients. Thanks in advance.
Have you considered partnering with a marketing website? For example, you can offer lifetime basic membership of my DRR club to your clients if you wish. This provides them with internet marketing videos, software (etc) every month without them paying anything. PM me if you'd like to set this up. You can also find out other member sites that your clients may be interested in and ask the manager/owner of the site if you can create a partnership where you can offer their membership to their clients.
Try being cheeky and just asking developers and other people for discounts. They get traffic and hopefully so do you
Cpanel hosting manager is very configurable... it let's you add all kinds of incentives. Fantastico is an addon to cpanel, with many additional applications
Most have them set up partnerships with adwords or template sites and pays them a royalty every month. They cover the cost up with much more sales of course. Rather than providing clients with adwords you should try providing them with a free domain or something to that extent. Or, you can set up affiliate partnerships with your clients through which, if an existing client refers someone and that someone signs up with you, then you give a discount to the referer, or pay cash. That is more affordable and lucrative for you and the person who's hosting with you, plus you are getting exposure through advertisements.
Google Private label content, ones you can give away for free. That is one way. Also contact Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft about getting a special promotion code you can give to your hosting clients for Ad credit. I know Google gives away $50 - $100 in ad credit to hosting companies to give to there new clients. Yahoo also does the same but not sure about Microsoft.
