SmarterTools Reseller Performance

Over the years we have sold many products on ServerTastic. One of the companies we have worked with from the start has been SmarterTools. They produce an awseome range of products including SmarterMail (a highly efficient mail server with ActiveSync support), SmarterStats (a mega powerful web site statistics package with SEO reporting) and SmarterTrack (a customer service portal as used on ServerTastic).

This morning I received an email from them detailing my current reseller performance (we have to meet certain quarterly sales targets). In the summary was the lifetime total products sold. I have done a screen grab below as I could not believe it myself!


Yes we have sold $415,351.96 worth of SmarterTools products! This proves a number of things. 
  • SmarterTools produce fantastic products
  • It was the right decision to become a reseller. We have also renewed our partnership for another year; Press Release.
  • You (our customers) clearly love the products (and I am grateful you chose ServerTastic as your reseller)
If you have not heard of SmarterTools before check out the range of products on our website available for a 10% discount over RRP.

We also have SmarterMail 6.x DemoWolf tutorials available at a massive 60% discount!

SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion Ends

ST_logoBlock.png

PROMOTION EXTENDED TO 30TH SEPTEMBER 2009

It is now the last few days before the end of the SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion on 24th September 2009 30th September 2009.

At the moment you can obtain upgrade protection for any SmarterTools product for 50% of the products standard RRP price (plus extra 10% discount at ServerTastic).

After the 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 it will cost 85% of the products standard RRP price to "re-activate" upgrade protection (but you still get an extra 10% off with ServerTastic).

Products can only be upgraded to the latest version with upgrade protection. There is no longer a one off upgrade option available. 

In the future if you have existing upgrade protection then you will be able to renew this each year for 40% of the products standard RRP price (plus an extra 10% off with ServerTastic - did I say that already??).

This promotion presents a great opportunity to get all your products covered for 12 months upgrade protection at the low promo price before 24th September 2009 30th September 2009.

View the SmarterTools product page on ServerTastic for upgrade protection pricing.

Some examples of the cost differences

SmarterMail Enterprise 1000 Mailboxes

Cost to purchase upgrade protection with ServerTastic before 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $404.55

Cost to re-activate upgrade protection with ServerTastic after 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $687.74

SmarterStats Enterprise 1000 Sites

Cost to purchase upgrade protection with ServerTastic before 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $674.55

Cost to re-activate upgrade protection with ServerTastic after 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $1,146.74

So if you have not got the picture yet here it is - I highly recommend that if you own a SmarterTools product and intend to upgrade within the next 12 months you purchase upgrade protection now!

Reading this after 24th September 2009 30th September 2009?

If you are reading this after the promotion has finished and feel upset or angry because you missed the promotion I am very sorry. But I did post it a number of times on the blog, Facebook and Twitter. Plus it is sent to our mailing list. If you only receive email updates once a month consider subscribing to the weekly or daily updates by clicking here.

SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion - CORRECTION

It seems a few bits of information I previously posted were wrong or as some UK customers would sometimes say "It's all gone Pete Tong"

A bit of a stir was created following my previous post on the SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Program.

I incorrectly stated that by purchasing the Upgrade Protection Promotion you would also be able to upgrade your version limits at the same time (such as increase number of sites / users / agents and move from PRO to ENT versions).

In an email conversation last week I confirmed with SmarterTools via email the details of the Upgrade Protection Promotion. I specifically asked about upgrading limits and about Pro to Ent upgrades and I was told that this was included within the promotion.

So I prepared all the information for the ServerTastic site and blog. I have now had to correct this information on the site and the original blog post.

Now that I have corrected the information please do not forget that this promotion still represents a good saving if you want to upgrade your current installation to the latest version within the next 12 months.

Everyone gets to make one Big Mistake?

SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion

This post has been edited with corrections see SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion - CORRECTION

(new text in italics removed text)

SmarterTools have announced the release of their new upgrade protection program. This allows you to receive updates to your SmarterTools products for 12 months from the date of purchase.

This may look like a long boring post but it could mean some big savings

The upgrade protection will work as follows:

New Purchases

All new purchases of SmarterMail, SmarterTrack and SmarterStats will include 12 months worth of upgrade protection (a massive improvement over the previously included 45 days).

Existing Customers

Any customer who made a new purchase or upgrade on or after 26 June 2009 will automatically receive 12 months of upgrade protection from the date of purchase.

Any customer who made a purchase or upgrade prior to 26 June 2009 will be entitled to purchase upgrade protection at the promotional rate of 50%. You will also be able to upgrade any key you have (even a 1.x key) using this promotion to any version you want the latest version. This provides a good saving over the previous upgrade pricing. Plus ServerTastic gives you an extra 10% discount!

Important Points

These are the important points that ServerTastic wants to highlight as great money saving opportunities. The promotion allows you to not only purchase upgrade protection for your SmarterTools product and update to the latest version but you can also chose to increase your mailbox/site/agent limit as well - even move from Pro to Enterprise.

For example if you have a SmarterMail Pro 1.x 250 User. You can upgrade this to SmarterMail Ent 6.x 500 Mailbox for just $314.55 (see SmarterMail Upgrade Protection). This also applies to SmarterStats and SmarterTrack.

You can not upgrade your version limit (sites/mailboxes/agents) at the same time. If you wish to change your version limit we recommend purchasing upgrade protection first and then purchasing a version limit upgrade as this is the cheapest method.

This promotion will end on 24 September 2009. If you were to do this upgrade after this date the cost would be $534.74

Future upgrade protection renewals will work as follows. If you renew your upgrade protection while it is still valid the cost will be 40% of the full price for your version. If you allow your upgrade protection to expire then the re-activation cost will be 85% of the full price for your version.

To see the full upgrade protection pricing please visit the SmarterTools page on ServerTastic and click the relevant upgrade protection link.

So if you plan on upgrading any of your SmarterTools installations within the next 12 months we highly recommend taking advantage of this promotion

SmarterMail 6.x BETA Expiration

 

Originally, all SmarterMail 6.x BETA installations were set to expire upon the production release on August 10th.

To provide customers more time to transition to the production software and take advantage of the special Upgrade Protection pricing opportunity described in the forum posts, SmarterTools has adjusted the BETA expiration to August 24th. SmarterMail 6.x BETA installations will automatically update themselves with this new expiration date and BETA participants do not need to take any action or reinstall the software.
