GloveBox's White Label Product Offering
Agencies who are interested in branding their customer experience portal explicitly to the agency can now do so through GloveBox's White Label.
What's the difference between a White Labeled GloveBox experience and the standard GloveBox offering?
- GloveBox's standard offering will still highlight certain components of the agency, including it's name, contact information, and logo. However, the App Title will still reflect GloveBox, and the branding will be configured to GloveBox's colors, fonts, etc.
- The White Labeled experience will remove standard GloveBox configurations, allowing for the agency to offer a truly branded experience to clients. This branding includes:
- App Store Listings, including all marketing materials and copy
- App Store Banners and Icons
- Unique Agency QR Codes and Links
- Customized Client Rollout Materials
- And more!
What's the benefit of the White Labeled GloveBox experience?
The biggest benefit for an agency who leverages our white label offering is that GloveBox's branding will be completely removed from the experience.
Since everything will be curated to your agency, you'll successfully create added brand equity with your customers, increasing their likelihood of staying with the agency.
Additional benefits include:
- A white labeled platform eliminates any confusion regarding who GloveBox is in relation to your agency, which can add difficulty for insureds as they get up and running with the product.
- Without the white label, customers receive verification messages from GloveBox and see GloveBox's branding across the platform. If a client has no context on who GloveBox is, they are less likely to adopt the platform.
- A white labeled platform also helps to drive adoption and stickiness with your clients. Because the app is branded to you, a client is less tied to a carrier. This has the potential to not only increase their retention, but also their usage of your app as opposed to a carrier portal.
- GloveBox's team will monitor analytics and performance of the platform on your behalf. If your agency were to build a custom app yourself outside of GloveBox, the responsibility of ensuring the app is working correctly would fall to you.
- Further, GloveBox's team will maintain the product for you and deploy enhancements over time to improve it. With your own custom app, this would again fall on the agency to handle.
How can I sign up for the White Labeled GloveBox Experience?
- First, speak with your GloveBox point of contact regarding the opportunity. They'll be able to share additional details regarding onboarding and pricing.
- They will also provide details on an agreement to proceed with the White Label.
- Once you have a signed contract, you'll be added to the waitlist for implementation.
- Once added, it will be your responsibility to begin working on the necessary assets and marketing materials that will be needed for your custom build.
- Once you are next up on the waitlist, a 90-day SLA will begin, meaning the GloveBox team will have your platform built within 90 days.
- This is highly contingent on the agency providing GloveBox with the necessary materials to complete the build.
I've signed my contract for the White Labeled GloveBox Experience. Now what?
Here are the steps to take while you're in the waiting period for implementation. It's imperative that you start on this process immediately once your contract is signed, as this will ensure a smooth and timely onboarding for your agency.
