I'm sure there are some people here who have their own techs and colocate their equipment, but why would they move for some stupid promo like this to a company they've never heard of?

Thank you for the input. Of all of the replies here, at least your post has included constructive criticism -- your post gives me some idea of the type of promotion you're looking for, which helps. I will talk to my management about re-formulating another promotion that may work better for the GFY audience.
In terms of being "heard of," we may not be well-known to the GFY community (hence our reason for running promos specifically for GFY), but you're welcome to Google us and search for us on forums like WebHostingTalk for more information.
For the record, we do provide 24/7 support and server management, however this promotion targets larger adult webmasters interested primarily in bandwidth.
Our reason for advertising in this particular forum is because we are a paid GFY sponsor, with weekly pinned threads and the banner. GFY site operators have dictated that this forum is where our posts should go.
Now, if another type of promotion works better for you, I'd be glad to hear further thoughts on this. What are some packages you'd like to see us offer? If you're looking for included hardware and server management, in order for my management to take you seriously, I need serious suggestions.
