You may have heard the terms “White Label” or “Reseller” thrown around lately. Perhaps it was in the case of a new online technology. So, what does "White Label" mean? And what is a white label reseller?
What do these terms mean?
Before we get into the technical jargon, let’s break down these terms based on the words that comprise them. First, let’s start with “Reseller.” The basis of this word is resell, which, as well all know, would be to take an originally purchased item and sell it again – likely to a different audience. Adding “er” to the end would seem to make the term refer to the person who resells an item. When we look at “White Label,” it gets a little trickier. Yes, “label” would refer to the branding of the item, but what would “white” refer to in this sense? White typically brings up thoughts of cleanliness and blank spaces, which implies that “White Label” is a term for blank branding.
So, what is a white label reseller?
Compound the definition we’ve determined for “White Label” with our definition of “Reseller” and what do you get? A person who takes something and sells it again with blank branding. This is not far from the definition of what a white label reseller is. White label resellers are very popular in the online technology world. Essentially, what a white label reseller does is license an existing technology and rebrands it to match their company logos and colors. Then they offer it to their own clients and audiences. Technology providers allow white label resellers to take their platform, add their own branding, and offer it in other markets. Let’s say in the case of marketing automation, you see there is a need for such a system in the automotive industry. You could become a white label reseller and rename and rebrand the platform to be more relevant to that industry.
