Many small and medium-sized marketing firms end up turning away business due to a lack of software engineering skill on staff. And the task of hiring experienced, talented developers in house is a massive undertaking: it could be hard to hire the right talent if no one in the organization has the knowledge to begin with, and developers also come with a hefty price tag.
So bringing in white label development services – hiring temporary talent to act as an extension of your own agency – is the next best option.
Marketing agencies can substantially increase their client base and monthly revenue by offering white label development services. Here are a few tips to help you decide whether white label development is the way to go.
When should I use white label web development for my marketing agency?
If your marketing agency is already serving a range of clients but you don’t have any professional web developers on staff, then you could exponentially increase your business by bringing on white label web development services.
There are a few scenarios where marketing agencies benefit from offering white label development. Here are a few examples:
- Your existing clients have more advanced web development needs than you can provide.
- You want to aggressively expand your client base.
- You’re losing clients to larger agencies.
- A client has asked for a service that would require significant coding work.
If any of the above sound like you, then it’s time to start researching white label development firms.
Should my agency offer in-house development services?
If you’re asking this question, then the answer is probably no; simply because it would be inefficient for you to hire skilled web developers on staff.
As a marketing agency, you probably have a few techies on staff who can make their way around a templated website or handle embedding Google tags. You may even have a moderate amount of coding knowledge in-house. But that doesn’t mean you’ll do a great job providing web development for larger websites or more complex software.
When clients need heavy duty web development work, they’re going to seek out experts in the field. They’ll likely need expertise in the front end, back end, and maybe even specialized knowledge of specific frameworks or operating systems.
So if you’re not prepared to offer that, then white label is the way to go.
