Livedrive, Online Data Backup Company, Launches Reseller Programme

Livedrive’s revolutionary new reseller programme lets small businesses sell an unlimited number of online backup accounts for just £39.95 per month.

LONDON, UK — January 11, 2010 – Livedrive, a popular provider of simple and secure online backup, today announced the launch of their new reseller programme. The reseller programme is targeted at small businesses and sole traders who want to compliment their existing revenue streams by selling Livedrive’s easy-to-use online backup solution.

Livedrive already lead the way with extremely easy-to-use and simple to install online backup.  Once the backup software is installed on a PC it just works in the background to protect files as the user works - there’s no need to set a schedule or remember to click a button.  And once the files are backed up online, customers can access them through a feature rich web portal - including playing their music, viewing their photos and watching movies from any web browser.

The new reseller scheme allows small businesses to sell an unlimited number of these accounts for just £39.95 per month.  All of the accounts come with the full Livedrive Backup functionality, including unlimited storage space, the renowned Livedrive desktop software, and Livedrive’s iPhone application.  Resellers can also optionally brand their customer experience with their name and logo for just £199 extra per year - their customers will even see the logo on the Livedrive desktop software and web portal.

Andrew Michael, Livedrive’s CEO, said on Monday: “We know that small business has been crying out for a solution like the new Livedrive reseller scheme - they’ve been asking us for it since we started.  Small computer shops, web designers and IT professionals all regularly help their customers with data loss and data backup - and now they can partner with Livedrive to provide a robust and secure solution that not only helps their customer, but also adds revenue to their business.”

“We feel that the custom branding is really important.” Mr. Michael adds, “Resellers want their business to be front-of-mind with their customers.  By being able to brand Livedrive Backup with their logo, SMEs can ensure that the customer not only gets a great service, but is also reminded about their brand every day.”

Resellers are not just limited to online backup either, as Jamie Brown, Livedrive’s General Manager explains: “As well as providing award winning online backup, we also have our Livedrive Briefcase product which lets users see the same files on every PC they use, and access their files from anywhere.  Resellers can create Briefcase accounts for just £19.95 per year each - making it a really cost effective way to sell online sync to your customers.”

The Livedrive Reseller Programme is available now from www.livedrive.com/resellers.
