Marketing Resellers: Want to Capture More SMB Dollars? Start with These 3 Strategic Fixes.
The numbers tell a clear story. Nearly half of small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are set to increase their digital marketing budgets in 2025 and almost all of the rest will maintain their 2024 spend. Moreover, 50% percent of SMBs say digital marketing and online advertising are among their most effective ways to acquire new customers.
Digital Urgency Meets Operational Gaps
SMBs understand the stakes – without a strong online presence, they risk being invisible to customers who now discover, search, shop, and decide through digital channels. But here’s where the problem emerges: most SMBs don’t have the time, resources, or expertise to run effective campaigns.
A Clear Opportunity for Marketing Resellers
This gap between intent and execution creates a massive opening for marketing resellers. In theory, the solution is simple – step in, provide the tools, and help SMBs win in the digital space. In practice, it’s more complicated. Three major obstacles stand in the way:
- Partner Onboarding and Account Connections: Gaining page and ad account permissions is the first and biggest hurdle – without access, campaigns cannot launch, and advertising stalls before it even begins. SMBs are busy, and cumbersome account connection processes can exceed their effort threshold.
- Scaling Campaigns: Managing digital advertising at scale demands more than manual effort. Without automation, resellers face bottlenecks that limit growth, increase the risk of human error, and make it difficult to maintain campaign quality. Automation takes on the heavy lifting – handling campaign creation, testing, optimization, and reporting – while ensuring consistent performance and clear communication with SMB clients.
- Platform Integration: Many resellers already have systems for managing client marketing efforts. Forcing SMBs to use separate tools disrupts workflows, weakens brand continuity, and creates unnecessary friction.
The Stakes Are High – and the Rewards Even Higher
These barriers aren’t just inconvenient. They stall adoption, limit growth, and frustrate SMBs eager to invest in digital advertising.
The Path Forward: Marketing Resellers as Strategic Enablers
For resellers, solving these challenges isn’t just about streamlining operations. It’s about positioning themselves at the center of the SMB marketing ecosystem. Automation, seamless integrations, and scalable advertising models are necessary to unlocking revenue, driving long-term client relationships, and transforming a fragmented, inefficient process into a high-performing, profitable system.
