Software Marketing Resource is a revolutionary web community designed to serve the changing needs of independent software vendors (ISV’s) worldwide.

We're very happy to announce the re-release of the website, which has been brought fully up to date. Software Marketing Resource is for anyone that writes, develops, or distributes software. To this end, Software Marketing Resource offers a wealth of forums, articles, resources, and targeted services that’ll provide the tools to market software like the big boys, on a limited or even non-existent budget.



If you’re a software marketer, marketing copywriter, eCommerce provider, SEO service provider, or at all count ISV’s among your target customer base, you’ll find numerous opportunities to connect with potential clients and spread the word about your particular product or service. Software Marketing Resource is about making connections, making information more accessible, and unifying the software marketing landscape.


Resources

The resources segment of SMR represents a dynamic, user-moderated collection of links touching on nearly every corner of the software marketing universe. From CD replication to Software Sites, Press Releases to Search Engine Strategies, Beta Testing to Distribution Outlets, SMR’s resources provide a centralized amassment of browsable marketing information.



But browsing is only the beginning. Registered SMR users can submit their own resources for listing, comment on a particular resource, and vote on each resources’s relative quality, nudging it up or down the list. SMR Resources are the most comprehensive and user friendly on the web. They’re targeted, dynamic, functional, and most importantly -- community-driven!
