How White Label Event Solutions Maximize Your Brand's Impact
January 1, 2024
Explore how white label event apps enhance brand visibility and customization in event management, offering a unique solution for impactful brand engagement.
In today’s competitive event management landscape, one of the most pressing challenges for businesses is how to maximize brand impact. It’s a crucial question with no easy answers in this hyper-competitive industry.
But you do have options. In this article, we explore one innovative solution to this problem: white label event apps and platforms.
These platforms offer a unique blend of brand integration and customization, setting them apart from standard event platforms. Here, we’ll talk about what makes these solutions advantageous for businesses looking to enhance their brand's visibility and create a distinctive, customized experience for event attendees.
What Are White Label Event Solutions?
White label event solutions are customizable event management platforms or services that companies can rebrand and present as their own. They allow businesses to offer comprehensive event management tools, including registration, ticketing, and attendee engagement features, without having to develop the technology from scratch.
Customization is one of the core benefits of white label event solutions, which you don’t get with standard event platforms. White label solutions offer unparalleled flexibility in branding, making it easier to market your brand.
"Traditional ticketing software's app platforms, that's more their brand, not yours,” says Bryan Brand, Vice President of Business Development at Ticketsauce, a white label event solution provider. “In white label, it's quite the opposite. Everything is under our client's brand, starting with the URL."
White label platforms shift the focus from the platform provider to the client's brand. Every aspect, from the event page to the ticketing process, bears the client's unique brand signature. This shift offers a stark contrast to standard platforms, where the provider's brand often overshadows that of the client.
Advantages of White Label Platforms
White label event platforms offer several compelling advantages:
- Brand Value Enhancement: The entire customer journey, from browsing the event to purchasing tickets, is steeped in the client's brand. This consistency in branding significantly enhances the perceived value of the client's brand.
- Consumer Trust: When every element of the event experience aligns with the client's brand, it fosters a sense of trust among consumers. They feel confident that they are in the right place, engaging directly with the brand they trust. "It drastically increases the brand value for said client,” Brand says. “The customer knows they're buying a ticket to the right place.”
- Customization and Flexibility: White label platforms offer a breadth of customization options, allowing clients to tailor every aspect of the event experience to fit their brand image and ethos.
Brand recounted how his company helped a hospitality firm that was looking to promote nightclubs and lounges.
"That's all powered by us, but again, completely white label to their brand," he says. "So not only is every one of their events and shows that they're throwing at their nightclubs building their brand value consumer trust, but also they're leveraging our platform and customizability to drive the app downloads."
The customization capabilities of white label platforms are another key advantage. They allow clients to align their event presentation with their brand's aesthetic and messaging. This level of customization extends to various elements:
- Event and Ticketing Pages: Clients can design these pages to mirror their brand's website, maintaining a cohesive visual and thematic experience.
- Confirmation Emails and Tickets: These critical touchpoints can be tailored to reflect the brand's style and voice, enhancing the overall customer experience.
By offering these customization options, white label platforms empower businesses to create a distinct and memorable event experience that resonates with their brand identity.
Overcoming Implementation Challenges
Implementing a white label event solution might seem daunting, but it's simpler than many anticipate. The process is streamlined to ensure ease and efficiency. Consider these key points in the implementation:
- Setting Up a Unique Subdomain: This crucial step personalizes the event's URL, making it distinctly part of the client's domain.
- DNS Information and SSL Certificate: These technical aspects are handled with ease, requiring minimal effort from the client's side.
- User-Friendly Platform: The platforms are designed for ease of use, requiring no extensive training or developer skills.
"There's no challenges – it's really simple and straightforward,” Brand says.
The Impact White Label Event Solutions Have on the Event Marketing Funnel
White label event platforms redefine the traditional scope of event management by significantly impacting the entire marketing funnel. They extend beyond mere ticket sales, shaping a comprehensive marketing ecosystem that enhances every phase of customer engagement:
- Integrated Ticketing: This feature is crucial for promoting app downloads. By integrating ticketing with a mobile app, attendees find it convenient to download and use the app for their ticketing needs. This integration nudges attendees to become regular app users, increasing their engagement with the brand.
- Boosting Brand Loyalty: Loyalty programs embedded within these apps incentivize repeat attendance and engagement. Attendees earn rewards or points for each interaction, be it ticket purchases or participation in event-related activities. This strategy not only enhances customer loyalty but also provides valuable data on attendee preferences and behaviors.
Bryan Brand emphasizes the depth of engagement that white label solutions foster: "Our ticketing software being fully white-labeled allows clients to basically run a full circle marketing funnel.”
This approach not only simplifies ticketing but also turns every ticket sale into an opportunity for deeper brand engagement in all three phases:
- Pre-Event Engagement: The journey begins with targeted marketing campaigns that lead to the app download and ticket purchase. The platform's data integration capabilities allow for personalized marketing, ensuring that the right message reaches the right audience.
- During the Event: The app becomes a central hub for attendee engagement, providing information, updates, and interactive features. This real-time engagement keeps the attendees connected and immersed in the event experience.
- Post-Event Connection: After the event, the engagement continues. The platform can trigger follow-up communications, surveys, and special offers for future events. This continuous engagement ensures that the relationship between the brand and the attendee extends beyond the event itself.
This full-circle approach to marketing is transformative. It allows businesses to not only manage their events effectively but also to weave their brand narrative into every stage of the customer journey.
By integrating ticket sales, app engagement, loyalty programs, and post-event follow-ups, white label platforms offer a holistic solution to the event marketing cycle. They create a seamless, continuous loop of engagement that enhances brand visibility, customer loyalty, and overall marketing effectiveness.

Recap of the Vendor and Sponsor Strategy Webinar with EventHub
Recap of the Marketing Webinar with Bauer Entertainment Marketing (BEM) On Thursday, July 25th, Ticketsauce hosted a marketing webinar with Bauer Entertainment Marketing (BEM), a top marketing agency. For over 10 years, BEM has been a leader in event and venue marketing. The Founder and President joined us to discuss topics such as: What opportunities exist to help make the latter half of 2024 even stronger? How can we collectively get smarter about selling more tickets? What are the latest event marketing trends, tactics, and tools? What are the most recent and common event marketing pitfalls we should all avoid? What are useful marketing tools, especially AI, that you're using? Here are our key takeaways: Email Marketing: "RFM" (Recency, Frequency, Monetization) are key characteristics of your customers and subscribers that you should craft your marketing messages and timing around. Your emails should be customized based on each of these so you're sending a different message to a subscriber who has more recently opened or clicked on your emails, someone who opens or engages more frequently, and those who have spent more (or less) money with you. Targeting your messages around RFM can improve your campaign's effectiveness and relevance to the person receiving it. Contest Marketing: Contest marketing can be a very useful tool during the lulls of your on-sale period to boost engagement around your event. It can be a useful way to push people to take action in between your initial on-sale and the final few days leading up to the event. Use of Video: Video is KING in all mediums of marketing. Try to keep your videos to 15 seconds or less to maximize your message in the brief time you have people's attention. People are Buying Later: There's been a shift with the majority of people buying their tickets later in the final few days leading up to an event. This can make it challenging for marketers to effectively time their marketing efforts and campaigns to meet the customer when they're ready to buy. Do your best to focus on top-of-funnel marketing in the second third of your on-sale period and shift to bottom-of-funnel and conversion-related marketing in the final third. These were the handful of things that stuck out the most to us, but there were many more tips, insights, and creative strategies discussed. You'll have to watch for yourself and see what may inspire you. Also, see a summarized transcript below the video.
