If your organization or agency is looking for ways to offer software solutions to clients without investing in the development process yourselves, the best way to do so is through white-label software.
The term “white label” originally comes from the practice of labeling products with a white label, allowing the reseller to market or brand the product as their own.
What is White-Label Software?
White-label software is a type of software or application developed by one company and then rebranded, resold, or licensed to another company.
The software is typically customizable, allowing the reseller to add their own branding to the software, such as logos, colors, and company information.
What are the Benefits of White-Label Software?
Save time and money. One of the biggest benefits of having white-label software solutions is that it lets you focus on your agency or firm’s expertise and saves time overall.
Specifically, it saves your company development time and, consequently, money. You don’t have to worry about building your own software product and hiring and training developers. You can simply buy or lease from a vendor that offers white labeling and brand their software as your own.
Moreover, it should help your organization scale its operations and serve clients without worrying about the limitations of in-house developed software.
Enter new markets or offer new services. White-label software enables agencies to offer new services without necessarily having the technical expertise for these services.
Examples include marketing agencies reselling white-label reputation management solutions or email marketing software under their own brand.
As an agency, your knowledge likely falls into a specific area — digital marketing, crisis communications, social media, paid advertising, search engine optimization, local listing management, and what-have-you.
By leveraging existing software solutions that have already been proven and tested in the market, you can enter new markets without the need for extensive development or technical expertise.
So if you’d like to add a new revenue stream to your agency by offering ways, for example, to manage online reviews and customer feedback on behalf of your clients, you don’t have to create or develop an entirely new software solution for it. You may simply choose online reputation management software that offers white-labeling features, then rebrand the solution and offer it to clients as your own.
Customize the software. Some white-label software solutions work right out of the box. But in most cases, agencies use white-label software as a base for customization.
Depending on the provider you have chosen, you will usually be able to modify the software to meet your clients’ and your specific needs and requirements or add unique features and branding to differentiate your offering. This way, you can reinforce your brand image and deliver a brand-consistent experience for your own clients.
Win Your Market with White-Label Software
White-label software empowers agencies to leverage existing solutions, save time and money, reinforce their brand identity, and deliver increased value to their clients. By combining specialized software expertise with your agency’s core competencies and industry expertise, you can offer new and innovative solutions to help clients meet their goals, while also attracting new customers to your agency.
