Selling Mobile Websites and Apps – Being a Reseller of this Technology

Selling Mobile Websites and Apps- When people are searching for your site on a mobile device, who comes up first? Paid ads and things like that of course but organically Google will not rank you site first unless you have a mobile optimized website when customers are searching on their mobile phones. “As of Quarter 2 2012, more searches were performed on mobile devices than on desktop or laptop computers” (Google 2013). So do your customers see you at all? That is what makes it so important in today’s world that you have a mobile friendly website that pops up very easily for your customers to find you on the fly.

What we give our clients and our resellers is the technology to create mobile websites that do exactly that. You can build websites in literally less than an hour that when their customers type in your website on their smart phone, it instantly takes them to your mobile website because it recognizes the mobile browser and then takes them to a landing page where they can immediately “download your app”. This is actually allowing the customer to bookmark the page to their home screen on their smartphone and it automatically adds the app image to the front page of their mobile device so they can click on your app anytime to see your menu, get directions, see specials, etc. This creates top of mind awareness and also an easy shortcut to your “app” at all times for your most loyal customers. It’s an easy sell to show businesses how important it is to have these mobile friendly sites available for their customers to search for them right from their phone. Having the user friendly technology to build these sites very quickly and easily while still looking slick and sophisticates is the key to making money selling mobile websites and apps.

Who Should Consider Becoming a SMS Reseller?

The answer is not just anyone! Becoming an SMS Reseller is not a get rich quick scheme, a work from home program, or a easy business to get into. A successful SMS Reseller is an individual or company that has at its core marketing skills and knowledge. The potential SMS Reseller should have a client base and other sources of income in the marketing field or other.

The potential SMS Reseller should be technically savvy & proficient especially in web and mobile technology. What this means is you need to know how to send an email, how to upload a file, or how to login to a web platform like a webinar.

The best suited companies and individuals for becoming an SMS Reseller are:

Marketing Companies or Consultants
Advertising Agencies
Web Design Firms
Search Engine Optimization companies
MLM Companies
Merchant Service Providers
Software Companies
Web Developers
Media Companies
Publishers
Resellers of other technical marketing products

If you or your business does not fall on this list, don’t be discouraged. It’s only meant to suggest those whom are best matched to succeed in mobile marketing sales. At the very least, you need to be able to convey technical information or instructions without sounding too technical or confusing. In other words, sell technology without sounding too technical. You need to talk to them in terms they understand. These end user advertisers that use SMS Alerts, Text 2 Win, Text 2 Vote, Mobile Apps, Mobile Websites etc. need expert advice & guidance to steer them in the right direction to mobile marketing success.

The most successful people in this industry are those who have existing clients that rely on them for marketing and advertising help. This client base can be educated as to the value of mobile marketing in the new age and how SMS can fit in their marketing plans. If you do not have an active client list, down line, fans, followers etc. it is going to be very difficult for you to sell SMS Marketing. The guy that just wants to go door to door to restaurants, bars, salons and such are destined to have those doors slammed in their faces 9 times out of 10. They may have success here & there, but more than likely it will not be consistent. If you decide to go down this path, you will need to make sure that you work with a company that can provide your business the materials & sales training that have made them successful. A basic blueprint for success, someone to hold your hand to ensure your success & guide you & keep you on track so you can ultimately profit within your 1st month.

What is a Short Code Marketing Reseller?

There is a new trend brewing in the world of marketing. I guess it makes sense that this rising trend would come to fruition, since 90% of the population has a text enabled phone. That’s right, I am talking about text message marketing. Text message marketing, also none as short code marketing, is a fast, easy and inexpensive way to reach your current and potential customers with an instant communication. But how is this accomplished? The main ingredient that you need to market in this manner is what is called a short code. This is a quick break down of how short code marketing works.

In order to provide this service you first need to get yourself a short code. There are dozens of companies out there that can provide short code marketing to the end user. Have they all went out and spent the thousands of dollars needed to secure themselves a short code? Probably not. Most of the providers in the space that offer short code marketing or SMS marketing to the end user are licensing their short codes and platform from a what is called a tier one provider of short code marketing or a short code marketing reseller.

There are only a hand full of true tier 1 short code marketing resellers in the space. The questions becomes then, if you want to start your own SMS marketing company, how do you choose a provider? Here are a few tips on choosing a short code marketing reseller. 1) Make sure they have a patent license to send URL’s inside of text messages. (Yes that is a patented process. Look it up.)    As of this writing we only know of one. www.AvidMobile.com.  2) Make sure they have more than just 1 or 2 short codes to work with. This will increase the effectiveness of finding keywords for your clients and save you from disaster in case a short code ever goes down. (It does happen occasionally) and   3) Make sure that they have real world experience in teaching you how to sell the service correctly. Remember short code marketing is still a relatively new despite text messaging being around for quit a while, so selling it to a non tech savvy business owner will take the proper know how.

So if you are looking to start your on SMS marketing company be sure to ask the the above 3 questions to any potential short code marketing reseller that you are thinking of working with and you will most likely end up with one of the best short code marketing resellers available.

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.

SMS Reseller

Being a SMS Reseller gives you the ability to use all of the technology and benefits of your very own mobile marketing platform. You do not need to acquire a short code, a platform, a license and all the other things necessary to start up your own mobile marketing business because it is provided for you for a small monthly fee. You can license the technology and product from a larger company like AvidMobile who gives you, the SMS Reseller, all the necessities in starting up your own mobile marketing company. If you come in as a SMS reseller for a company like AvidMobile, we actually go above and beyond the normal necessary items included in your program and give you even more.

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.
