Other features of Mobile SMS Marketing that may be of interest to their customers are their affiliate, reseller, and white label programs. With the affiliate program, a customer can become an affiliate and direct other potential customers to Mobile SMS Marketing through an affiliate web link. If those potential customers make a purchase after clicking through on the affiliate’s web link, the affiliate gets a 30% commission on the sale, with an additional 10% on text message sales. Also, if an affiliate enrolls another affiliate, they get an extra 5% commission from that affiliate’s sales.
The reseller or white label program allows a reseller to purchase text messaging services from Mobile SMS Marketing and then resell those services under their own brand. White label refers to the idea that the product comes with a blank label that the reseller can fill in to customize their reseller services to a particular market. Resellers set their own prices, market their text messaging product, and handle customer service while using the Mobile SMS Marketing short code and platform to conduct their business. The white label program also allows larger corporations to use their own dedicated short code with Mobile SMS Marketing’s text messaging platform.
Though no experience is required to become a reseller or affiliate, customers may be more successful in these endeavors if they first get some experience with the company and product. Customers who are interested in using a Mobile SMS Marketing reseller’s services should make sure the reseller has a good reputation for customer service and a price that fits their budget.
