You’ve got the panel, the credits and the prices. Now the actual business: finding customers. Here are the channels that consistently work for resellers, in the order you should build them.
1. Referrals — Your Highest-Converting Channel
Every happy customer knows 5–20 people who watch TV. Ask for referrals at the moment of peak satisfaction: right after a smooth setup or a fast fix. Give customers a simple forwardable message (“My guy sets up TV on any device, free test — want his number?”). Cost: zero. Conversion: unbeatable.
2. The Free-Trial Funnel
The single most effective sales mechanic in this business: offer a free 24-hour test line. It removes all risk from the customer’s decision, and a working stream sells itself better than any pitch. Panels like Tivione even offer trial options built in. Structure: ad or post → WhatsApp message → free test line → follow-up at hour 20 → paid plan.
3. WhatsApp as Your Storefront
Your WhatsApp is your shop. Set up WhatsApp Business with a catalog, quick replies for your price list and setup instructions, and a status that shows proof (new customers, channel highlights). Fast replies here directly equal conversion — treat every inquiry as expiring within the hour.
4. Local Community Groups
Local Facebook groups, Telegram channels, diaspora communities, expat forums — anywhere people from your target audience gather. Don’t spam: answer “where do you watch X?” questions helpfully, and let people ask you for details. One active local group can feed a reseller business for years.
5. Short-Form Social Content
TikTok, Reels and Shorts reward simple demonstrations: “Watch any channel on your TV in 5 minutes,” showing the app, the guide, the sports section. You don’t need to show your face — screen recordings with captions work. The goal is one clear call to action: message for a free test.
6. Marketplaces and Classifieds
Local classifieds sites and online marketplaces still move real volume for resellers. Post clear offers with device photos, reply fast, and move conversations to WhatsApp immediately. Rotate listings to stay visible without tripping spam filters.
7. Your Own Simple Website
Once volume justifies it, a one-page site with your offer, prices and a WhatsApp button adds credibility and captures search traffic. It doesn’t need to be fancy — trustworthy beats flashy.
What to Expect (Honestly)
Marketing compounds. Month one might bring 10 customers; month six might bring 10 a week — same effort, because referrals and content accumulate. The resellers who quit are usually the ones who judged the model by week two. Track where each customer came from so you know which channel deserves more energy.
The Retention Multiplier
Every marketing channel works better when churn is low — acquiring a customer you keep for 12 months is worth 4× one who leaves in 3. Read the customer management guide and treat renewals as part of marketing, not separate from it.
