The distributor has launched ‘The Big Pitch’- an initiative that gives resellers the chance to claim up to £10,000 of funding from Westcoast to be put towards marketing activities.
Ben Feurtado, Westcoast’s Microsoft Business Manager, explained, “We’re looking for unique ideas that are going to turn heads and have an impact. Most of us know the pain of having a really promising idea – only for it to become a non-starter thanks to budget constraints. But with up to ten grand up for grabs - the Big Pitch can overcome that frustration.”
He added: “It’s an investment that gives anybody who sells Microsoft a stellar opportunity to propel their business.”
To enter, resellers need to send their ideas and complete an application form by the 10th of March 2017. Westcoast will respond to all entries submitted within seven days, letting partners know whether they’ve been successful or not.
Resellers contributing ideas must be prepared to match the amount of funding that is provided by Westcoast. All marketing activity needs to be completed by the 12th of May 2017.
Said Ben: “At Westcoast we’re tremendously excited about the Big Pitch. We know we can count on our partners to come up with some cracking marketing initiatives.”
