Boost your marketing with MDFs |
Marketing Development Funds (MDFs) are financial resources from registries or vendors to support resellers in promoting their services. At Openprovider, we offer plenty of opportunities for you to collaborate on MDFs with our domain registry partners - no matter the size of your business. Even for resellers with a smaller portfolio, we have some great opportunities available!
On December 10, 2024, we held a webinar all about MDFs. You can (re)watch the recording here and view the slide deck here.
