trumpia tells me to be a white label, its 500 to buy in and i need to pre pay for credits (text). $2000 gets me 200k credits...unless i select optional items like emails and date sets i wont have any monthly fees and i will only incur charges when i need to buy more text. oooo i can opt for a website to make my marketing business appear as legit as possible for close to 2k. i think the site is an 18page site. all in im looking at close to 4500. 500 to buy into white label, 2000 for the credits and 2000 for the site.

from there im off to the races. selling marketing campaigns built on SMS to local business. im not capped in territory. i can sell to barber shops in miami or spas in kentucky or gyms in atlanta. i have the general idea...

any white label reps here? what are words of advice?

I'm leaning towards going with avid mobile. Their tier 3/white label is $289 per month ($199 set up). Pricing starts at .01 per message. Price goes down based on your monthly total volume. You get 25K messages free each month (At .01 that's $250 of your $289 monthly that your getting back). You get 3 shared short codes. Comes with a site builder, so you can build/sell sites as well. If I recall correctly, it comes with a free wordpress site. You get training / marketing tools. There's other stuff that it comes with. You can also resell white label accounts.

My only gripe is that they charge $3.50 per customer/month that you add to the system. I don't want to pay $3.50 if all I'm doing is hosting a site. Good quality hosting/bandwidth is cheap.

Anyway, it's worth checking them out.

If anyone knows a better deal, I'm open to looking at others!

It's important to keep in mind that when becoming a white label reseller for any software that you're making an investment especially with mobile marketing where you are assigned a short code as well as your customers becoming familiar with a specific sms texting web dashboard.

A few things to consider when making the decision:

- How long has the company been around
- Are they a reputable and credible vendor in their space
- Will the platform be strong enough to compete against competitors
- Do they have a roadmap for future developments
- What type of support do you receive
- Is there training, if so what type One on One vs Recorded Videos
- Are there sales / marketing material that can be easily white label

I'm sure there's countless other things to consider as well but the above are things to look for when shopping around for an SMS white label reseller service.
