Acquire new subscribers from existing ISPs

1 Acquire Subscribers There is no faster way to grow your ISP business than acquiring subscribers from existing ISPs. The ISP market has become a commodity market according to ISP-Planet's article "An Exit Strategy for Dialup ISPs". Much like other commodity markets, there are always ISP businesses up for sale and ISP buyers looking to buy. The cost to buy existing subscribers is about the same as what you'd spend to attract them through direct marketing methods. There are so many more benefits to buying existing paying subscribers. Here are some tangible advantages of acquiring existing ISPs:
  • You create immediate cash flow — You'll move right into the operation with no down time. ISPs who grow primarily through direct marketing or word-of-mouth have a much longer ramp up periods.

  • Shorter busiiness growth ramp-up periods — you can acquire one ISP with 1,000 to 5,000 (or more) active paying subscribers in three months. It often takes a team of experienced business executives years to manually build that same level of an active paying subscriber base.

  • You have a higher chance of long-term success — An existing business has already proven market demand and has a base of subscribers, often with term agreements, which guarantees your business longer term success.
 
  • You have actual performance data — as opposed to projection data for investors and banks. Start-ups must project income and earnings through formulas and guesswork. An existing business has a financial track record, so you know what to expect.

  • You can diversify your market penetration much easier — because with each acquisition you accomplish, you're establishing a corporate presents in a new geographic area. From this you diversify your dependancy on different geographic markets. If one market was down, other geographic markets would hold the business up.

  • Better up and cross-selling opportunities — As you start acquiring ISP brands, you will learn what products and services sell the best. Then, when you acruire a new ISP brand, you will have a whole new base of existing loyal subscribers to up or cross-sell new products and services to.
