White Label Text Marketing

Your clients trust you. They signed up for your service because of you. You sold them, you talk to them, you help them.

White Labeled SMS Marketing makes them use YOUR product to help grow their business.

White labeling builds trust between your client and yourself. They can log in through you website to do all of their sms marketing. When you sell anything to a client, they’re buying you. Whether you realize it or not, there have been 10+ salespeople who have probably already talked to them about some facet of what you’re selling, but if you signed the deal, it’s because they trust you. There are many instances of people selling advertising / marketing and one sales person works an account for forever, but can’t sign them, and you bring in a different person with a different approach, they’ll sign with the first meeting. It’s about meshing personalities and where they place the trust of the success of their business and their money.

Having white labeled sms marketing leverages that trust and gives them the confidence that you’re selling them a product that the get from you. You’re essentially taking out the middle man without the upfront cost of provisioning short codes ($10,000 + annually), paying programmers, making software, etc. You are their link to the technology they need and want to help their business grow.

Along these same lines, when you’re approaching a new client, you have the confidence to tell them how easy it is to log into your website to access their marketing plan, reports, billing information, etc. You’re their one stop shop for everything they need, especially if you’re selling more products than just SMS marketing (i.e. mobile websites, web hosting, etc). Showing a client that they don’t need anyone but you is the best way to retain a customer for a long, happy business relationship.

What is White Label Mobile Marketing?

With the emergence in popularity of Mobile Marketing, increasingly agency and entrepreneurs alike are looking at the opportunity of cashing in on the craze by either adding Mobile Marketing to the portfolio of services that they provide or looking to start a brand new Mobile Marketing company all together. The problem is, the technology, time, licensing and investment needed to make it happen would take years and millions of dollars. How do they get around that? Simple, “White Label” Mobile Marketing.

White Label Mobile Marketing gives an agency or individual the capability to take a White Label Mobile Marketing providers technology platform and re-brand it 100% as if  they spent the time and money to develop it themselves. They then can turn around and resell it to the end user as if it were their own in house solution. This is appealing to agency’s and individuals alike because the investment to implement or start a Mobile Marketing company is pennies compared to the investment it  would take them to develop a solution on their own.

The number of White Label Mobile Marketing providers have increased rapidly over the past few years but there are only a handful of truly enterprise level, or “tier one” providers in the space. A few things to look for in a tier one provider is that they have there own technology platform, a fully documented API, a patent license to send URL’s inside of text messages (yes that is a real thing) and true carrier grade messaging, not SMTP or other internet protocol.

In conclusion, if you want to cash in on the growing popularity of Mobile Marketing in the coming year, then go out and find yourself a tier one, enterprise level, White Label Mobile Marketing provider, make a minimal investment and go out and sell, sell sell!

Why a White Label Mobile Website?

Why would you spend your time building a White Label Mobile Website? The answer is simple math. 45% of all Americans own smartphones. They’re using it to surf the web, buy things, check social media, etc. And the last thing you want to do is miss out on clients and revenue by having your website not tie in well with mobile web viewing.

The irony here is that, usually, the nicest websites that cost tens of thousands of dollars are usually the ones who work worst on mobile devices. Having flash appalets, moving pictures, etc. make visiting a website from a desktop a great experience, but on a mobile device, websites like these are virtually unusable. Flash components don’t work, screen sizes are completely off, so text is unreadable without zooming in, and clicking on links is seriously frustrating.

Building a great looking White Label Mobile Website is seriously easy. You can have most of the functionality of a standard website: Shopping carts, social media feeds, web payment, maps, etc. AND be accessible by anyone who’s on their phone. Personally, if I’m out and about, I’m constantly on my phone looking for addresses and phone numbers of places I want to go. If I can’t easily find the information, I’ll just go somewhere else. So when I stumble across mobile websites that have Click to call buttons (a button that when you click it, the phone number pulls up in the dialing screen), it makes life that much easier to call and find out where exactly that store might be or what specials are going on. You can increase repeat traffic by including mobile only offers and coupons, and really helping drive this growing customer base of people who are constantly on their smartphone so you’re not only not missing out on customers, but gaining new customers and getting more transactions out of existing customers.

 

Being a White-Label Reseller of SMS technology

There are many different technology companies out in the mobile marketing space these days that is can be hard to decided on a specific company to provide your SMS technology. There are many things to keep in mind when you are deciding on a provider for text message marketing including rates, benefits, pricing flexibility and most importantly the technology behind the SMS platform pushing your mobile marketing messages out to your current customer database. If you are looking for the best pricing deal out there then you could be mislead my companies claiming they can send out SMS messages for absolutely free of charge or unlimited messaging. Companies that claim they can send out unlimited text messages for no money at all are probably not sending out carrier grade (SMPP) messages that truly get delivered to customers phones. Most of these companies are sending out text messages through SMTP which can be an email server or other methods of unreliable technology where as little as 5-35% of all text messages are actually being received by the end users. So make sure to keep in mind that cheap might not always be the best route to go when choosing a provider in the mobile world. Maybe sure you are signing up with a company that can actually deliver text messages to your customers, reliable send times, a platform that will truly be reliable is much more important for your company to ensure those messages are being deliver to your customers in real time.

Now there are also other important factors to consider about a company if you are wanting to become a white-label reseller of SMS technology. Another factor such as customer support because when it comes to learning a whole new platform and technology you are most likely going to want to go with a company that will give you the proper training and guidance when learning all the ways you can setup campaigns, send out messages, etc. Some companies will sign you up and then you will never be able to get a person on the phone to help you out with issues, questions/concerns or troubleshoot your legitimate problems to a help and support center. With AvidMobile you never have to worry about any of these problems or being misguided by a company who has bad intentions for their resellers.

White Label Mobile Websites-What is that?

When a Marketing Company, a web development company, or an advertising agency gets into the Mobile Marketing world for the first time, there are a plethora or services that one can offer. You can provide SMS texting capabilities, you can give the client access to QR codes to help spread their message and brand, and you can also offer these businesses a mobile website. With the Mobile Website, they can tie in the campaigns to the marketing they’re doing currently, utilize keywords and shortcodes, utilize QR codes, and amplify their reach. We often hear this question “I see you all offer an advanced builder for White Label Mobile Websites-What is that?”

With many of the mobile Website “converters” or “builders”  you can incorporate some neat functions, but many of the developers  make sure that the client knows who built that platform to convert their site. Maybe their URL is www.webconverter.com/(your business name here). So the client is getting their mobile site out there, but it doesn’t even look like it is theirs! That’s where the Avidmobile Advanced Mobile Website Builder comes in. With our builder, you can create sexy, sophisticated, and engaging White-label Mobile Websites that have top-level functionality. You can post videos, link in with Facebook and other Social media sites, share promotions or upcoming events, and even start generating revenue through these websites by using a virtual shopping cart. To help with the branding of the company and their White Label Mobile Website, yYou can mask the site address, or you can just link it to your desktop site so that when people are viewing from their cellphones or tablets, the site will reformat itself to fit that screen. Either way, that White Label Mobile Website is a product that You made, on your platform(my.accessmobilewebsite.com), for your client (www.bestclient.com). It creates a level of credibility for your marketing company, by being able to offer these businesses a site of their own that YOU made.

Mobile Marketing Private Label – The Wheel Is Already Invented

Mobile Marketing Private Label- As a business pioneer, you’re asked to wear more than a few hats, and occasionally several at once (it’s possible that’s why people accuse those of us in this business of having big heads). The truth is, you’ve got a lot more to worry about than building, testing, and marketing an entire SMS platform, and in fact, unless you are already a good sized, well funded company, some of the necessary components are out of reach.

Targets for Reseller or White Label Partners

Targets for Reseller or White Label Partners

 

One of the more frequent questions we get at AvidMobile from our white label / reseller mobile marketing partners is, “What is the lowest hanging fruit as far as targets to go after to make the most amount of money?”

The reality is that the mobile marketing space is completely wide open as it stands leading into 2013, $20 billion dollars of growth in the mobile marketing sector, mobile web searches scheduled to surpass desktop searches by Q2, and businesses literally clamoring for mobile coupons.  So what industry specifically to target if you are a white label or reseller in the space?  A good start is anyone that you already see couponing in your market or around the country.  If a business currently delivers coupons via print, mailers, in store, at events, or literally anywhere, then they are a prime candidate for Resellers and White Label partners.

When approaching these businesses it is important to highlight the specific reasons that they would be interested in utilizing mobile coupons in concert with their print, not talk about replacing the print completely.

  1. Mobile Coupons stay on the cellphone an average of 12 days after delivery.  What this means to any business is repeat exposures to that client as they look back at their text-messages on a frequent basis, thus increasing the top-of-mind awareness and likelihood of a redemption.
  2. Mobile coupons average 10x the redemption rate on a per-coupon basis than print.
  3. Mobile Coupons can be delivered at the exact moment that your client is making the buying decision.

All of the above makes a ton of sense to anyone, however when it comes to actually getting in front of someone and explaining how to build those databases, all of the advantages, and then closing a sale, this is where our reseller and white label partners excel!  Calling businesses and setting an appointment is as easy as stating a “real” dollar amount that mobile couponing could do for their business.

This is done with simple calculations of figuring 6 months of database building over the number of locations, adding in for integration with broadcast media, and then multiplying by the number of mobile coupons delivered per month, then the anticipated redemption rate, and then multiplying again by the average transaction, and finally by 12 months.  This provides an estimate of the total annualized increase in sales due to delivering mobile coupons.

When our reseller/white label partners call on a business and say they have a couple mobile strategies that project to increase annual revenues by (stated dollar amount, ie $34,500), then close for a 5 minute appointment, they get meetings.

Text-Marketing White Label: Owning your Dream

There’s a really simple exercise you can perform, just at your desk, to demonstrate the power of AvidMobile’s Text-Marketing White Label. Every one of us has right now, a smartphone or other mobile device (it would be a weird business for us to be in if we didn’t!). Mine is an Apple iPhone 4S, but maybe yours is a Samsung SIII, or an HTC Hero.

In the case of all these devices, they are the results of the hard work of hundreds of individuals from dozens of companies. On your iPhone, Apple didn’t design or manufacture the camera, or the audio speakers. Think about it this way: being an owner of a successful business with a great product doesn’t mean that you have to completely reinvent and repatent the wheel. Chrysler didn’t have to invent the internal combustion engine again before it could change the design of cars forever, and neither should your business. AvidMobile has the technical specifications handled for you: your job is to grow.

So with that being said, who doesn’t want their brand to stand proud and be associated with all aspects of their platform? That’s what a Text-Marketing White Label offers you: a chance to use web technology to make sure business you do with every client shows only the brand that really matters: yours.

After all, that Samsung doesn’t advertise on the cover the name of every manufacturer and designer of every device contained within … and having those parts doesn’t make it any less theirs, any more than allowing AvidMobile to provide you the technological and sales tools necessary to give your business a boost makes that business any less than 100% your own.

Advertise it to your client that way. Let our text-marketing white label show your company, and not ours. It’s just another way that AvidMobile helps you achieve your goals.
