Agency reselling FAQs

Can my agency offer social media without a social team?

Yes. White label social media management lets you resell a done-for-you service under your own brand while a specialist does the work.

What is white label social media management?

A partner creates and manages social media for your clients, under your agency's name. Here's what white label social media management is.

How much margin can an agency make?

It depends on your pricing, but reselling at a markup on wholesale rates is common, with no salaries or overheads to cover.

Will clients know someone else does the work?

Not unless you tell them. White label partners work behind the scenes in your name.
