White-Label Brand Service (for Resellers and Partners)
Overview of the White-Label Service:
This service allows resellers and partners to offer your website update services to clients under their brand name. You provide the infrastructure, content updates, and development, while your partners handle client relationships, billing, and branding.
White-Label Service Features
Rebrand able Services:
- All communications with the reseller's clients are white-labeled, meaning the clients will never know a third party is providing the service.
- Resellers can attach their logo and branding to client portals, emails, and reports.
Custom Pricing for Resellers:
- You offer wholesale pricing to your resellers so that they can add a markup and profit from reselling your services. For example, resellers can buy tickets in bulk at a discounted price and set their own pricing for their clients.
Portal Access for Resellers:
- Provide resellers with a centralized dashboard where they can track the tickets used by their clients, manage multiple accounts, and request updates on behalf of their clients.
- This portal should allow them to submit requests for content updates, follow up on progress, and manage their clients efficiently.
Flexible Service Tiers:
- Allow resellers to offer different service levels to their clients. For example:
- Basic Pay-As-You-Go Plan for occasional updates.
- Premium Plans that include hosting, SSL, and more frequent updates.
- This flexibility allows resellers to cater to different customer needs under their brand.
Partner and Reseller Support:
- Provide dedicated support for your resellers to help them with client issues, onboarding, and customization. Having a streamlined communication system ensures smooth operations between you and your resellers.
Reseller & Partner Benefits
- No Development Overhead: Resellers don't need to invest in a development team or infrastructure. They can focus on marketing and client acquisition while you handle the technical side.
- Scalability: Resellers can offer your service to their clients of any size, from small businesses to larger corporations. You handle the backend scalability, making it easier for resellers to grow their businesses.
- Customizable Branding: All services and communications are fully customizable, allowing resellers to appear as the provider of the service. This builds their brand without the need for a large team or infrastructure.
- Ongoing Revenue Stream: Resellers can generate recurring revenue by offering ongoing content updates and website services without the burden of in-house development.
How the White-Label Program Works
1. Reseller Enrollment:
Resellers and partners enroll in your white-label program by signing an agreement to offer your services under their brand.
Provide them with training and onboarding materials so they understand the services and how to sell them to their clients.
2. Service Customization:
Resellers can customize the branding (logo, company name, etc.) for client portals and reports.
Provide them with marketing materials and customizable packages that they can offer to their customers.
3. Reseller Portal:
Through a dedicated reseller portal, partners can manage their clients, request website updates, track ticket usage, and monitor the progress of tasks.
The portal would include an admin view for the reseller and client views for their end users (with full white-label branding).
4. Bulk Purchase of Tickets:
Resellers purchase ticket bundles (for example, 100 tickets at a discounted wholesale price) and sell them to their clients at a marked-up price.
The larger the bundle, the greater the reseller discount, incentivizing bulk purchases.
Marketing and Selling:
• Resellers market your services as their own and manage the client relationship, including sales, support, and billing.
• You handle all backend updates, development tasks, and ongoing maintenance, ensuring seamless delivery under their brand.
1. Client Communication:
• All communication with the reseller's clients, such as email updates, reports, and portal access, is branded under the reseller's name.
2. Ongoing Support for Resellers:
• Provide a dedicated support team to assist resellers with any technical issues, customization needs, or troubleshooting.
• This ensures that resellers can focus on expanding their client base while maintaining a high-quality service.
Annual Discount and Bulk Pricing for Resellers
100+ Tickets Discount:
Offer resellers discounted pricing on bulk ticket purchases. For example, if 100 tickets normally cost $400, offer a reseller price of $350 for 100 tickets, giving them room to add their own markup when reselling the service.
Flexible Plans:
Resellers can offer tiered packages to their clients, allowing them to sell different levels of service (e.g., basic content updates vs. full website maintenance and premium hosting). This increases their ability to cater to different types of businesses.
