Product Description

Vendasta’s white-label platform empowers you to provide marketing solutions to local businesses under your brand.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Vendasta is the only white-label platform that provides a marketplace of instant-on, resellable products with complete go-to-market capabilities. Channel partners can build, deliver, market, sell, bill, and fulfill cloud solutions to local businesses—all under one login.

On average, it takes 59% of businesses up to six months, and 17% up to a year to fully adopt and implement a marketing automation platform, and 61% agree the implementation process is difficult. With these clunky platforms, you’re often dealing with overhauling IT infrastructure, ciphering closed networks, troubleshooting stubborn APIs, and setting layers of configurations. Really, you were just hoping to unwrap the thing and start selling. Vendasta eliminates these issues and gives you a platform that you can use quickly, with the support and community to back you up.

What do you like best about Vendasta?

Vendasta's Snapshot Report offers white-label reporting that begins a conversation with a prospect. This comprehensive reporting demonstrates our level of transparency for clients so we get right to their pain points. In turn, we can quickly solve those issues with internal services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

The platform is comprehensive. The sales support, academy, and community of peers is a novel concept tied into their business model. I would recommend a mobile app vs. book marked option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vendasta:

The partner support during onboarding as well as ongoing inquiries is exceptional. We have thoroughly enjoyed specifically our partner support team of Romin Leuva, George Leith, Nikola Levnaich to name a few. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vendasta solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are investing in automation technology to streamline operations while utilizing CRM capabilities to track new industries. The problems we are solving are internal not so much with our clientele at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, Darlene! We're proud to have you as a partner. Expect more mobile functionalities down the road!

What do you like best about Vendasta?

Vendasta makes it easy to provide full-service solutions to clients. The best feature is the breadth and quality of providers that they have attracted to the Vendasta Marketplace. You can build a business confident that you're offering 'best of breed' solutions to your clients. Plus, the Vendasta platform allows you to pull it all together and present an impressive single dashboard presentation. In addition, Vendasta provides partner support to help you continually grow and innovate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

With so many products and services, the learning curve is pretty steep, but Vendasta University, the company's self-paced learning environment, is a great resource. But, as with many things, it's sometimes difficult to make time to take full advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vendasta:

Take the time upfront to immerse yourself in the Vendasta University tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vendasta solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have utilized Vendasta for website development, SEO, digital marketing, and even creative services. In addition to professional service, I value receiving consultations from Vendasta's subject matter experts on how to serve clients' needs best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

We're so grateful for the time you took to learn our powerful platform so that you could reap all of its benefits! Thank you for the thoughtful review.

What do you like best about Vendasta?

They offer every digital marketing tool under the sun to resell and fully white-labeled and you can add your own. Do the work yourself or grey label their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

Spent 16k with their digital ads team and got zero leads. Review widget only stacks vertically, normal hosting downtime issues and connections to social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These guys are the best. I really would like to know if there is a competitor that comes close? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

We're so thrilled you found us, Micah! It's wonderful to hear how satisfied you are with the platform. I've taken your feedback to the relevant teams, and they provided me with some insights that may even improve your views of Vendasta even more. First, our Digital Ads team tells me that your ads situation ran into some very unfortunate third-party (Google) policy issues. Our most sincere apologies for this situation. We've recently implemented a strategy and quality assurance team to ensure campaign goals are aligned and met. We also hear from the Review Management team that they're considering some UX changes, and are taking your feedback into consideration! Finally, I can provide a few more insights into Website Pro downtime. Over the past 90 days, the product has achieved an uptime of nearly 98 per cent, and that number is typically a bit higher on average. We're always working to ensure we're offering partners like you the best experience, and are so glad to hear that your experience has been largely positive. Never hesitate to reach out if there's anything else we can do to help provide clarity or make your experience better. We grow because of partners like you!

What do you like best about Vendasta?

The completeness of their strategy and the elegance of their app design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

Not every package can be separated into individual apps and sold separately. Example the Reputaiton app has an ADA accessibility widget but I asked about just the widget and was told it could not be sold separately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vendasta:

Devote adequate time to really learn all they have that you can offer in your store. The ability to package services as bundles branded by you is amazing. Not since Early Rise have I seen a collection as exhaustive as Vendasta and they're Canadian so no language or time zone connection issues. I recommend you put build out of your 'ancillary' services on their shoulders so you can devote the majority of your time on your One Big Idea product or service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vendasta solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to offer DFY services and don't want to staff up. I have product/service offer strategy and development done for me with excellent marketing assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback and the kind words. You are right we have a lot that you can add to your store and we are happy to assist all our customers if they ever have any questions. Also, thank you for the constructive comments, we take these ideas to our team to continually improve our offerings. Thanks again!

What do you like best about Vendasta?

Vendasta has allowed my digital agency to appear larger than what I am. Because they have a list of products/solutions that I serve my clients with, I no longer have to hire staff to work on my projects... All I need to do is log on to the partner center, look in the marketplace for a given solution and launch my project. It has helped me streamline my processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

I have been with Vendasta for 15 months now, and in these 15 months, I have had 3 different PDMs handling my account. I would have liked that number to be less so that we can work on a plan together. I am happy with the PDM that I have now and I hope he stays on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vendasta:

If you are just starting out in the agency world, Vendasta is all you need to be successful. If you are a seasoned veteran in the business and are managing a ton of people and you are pulling your hair out, then definitely look to Vendasta as a solution to your problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vendasta solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem Vendasta is solving with me is solving for me is the automation of reports being sent to my customers. This used to be a burden every month for me prior to working with Vendasta's ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying automations and all of the other tools that help our partners scale! Your feedback doesn't go unheard: Keeping a consistent PDM is such a helpful part of the journey, and we're sorry to hear that you've had to deal with a few transitions. We'll be sure to pass along this feedback to the teams. Wishing you great success on the road ahead!

What do you like best about Vendasta?

As a marketer and small business owner, it can be hard to digitise effectively. Vendasta has done the hard work for me by identifying a range of tools and suppliers that suit my business needs and integrating them on a fantastic online portal that I am proud to share with my clients. The online store function makes it easy to create clear packages and focus my marketing and I really value the help, input and inspiration of my account manager, Dakota. His solutions-orientated approach and wealth of experience really show and his passion for Vendasta is infectious. He has helped me to really focus on my mission and develop packages of products and fulfilment services that have allowed me to add an entirely new revenue stream to my business. Everyone I have dealt with at Vendasta has been top of their game and I look forward to working with them all more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

As a young platform, there are some challenges with vendasta but I am assured by my account manager that they are working on all of these. One of the main draws for me with Vendastas was the one-login dashboard and while Vendasta has some partners I work with already, the API's to integrate existing accounts don't exist yet, meaning I have had to either create secondary accounts or live with additional logins which somewhat defeats the point. Also, the lack of ability to add funds or pay for entire projects in advance, makes it challenging to manage project budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vendasta:

Vendasta is a great option for marketers or other digital professionals who might want to add services beyond their usual scope of work or to deliver more integrated campaigns for clients on a white-label basis. It is a developing platform and so while the team there are super-close to building something truly amazing, the UX can still be a little clunky. However, they have already made great bounds in that area in the short time since I started and as they continue to develop their partner support and update their services and vendors to meet current trends, I fully expect to see a positive evolution in the next few months and years. I've tried a few variations of the white label agency model and Vendasta are leaps and bounds above the competition and I would definitely recommend them as a valued partner in own business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vendasta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Marketing moves fast and as a marketing consultant, I have felt under huge pressure to be an expert in every field in order to deliver fully integrated campaigns. With Vendasta, I can deliver my strategies with the help of a highly specialised team of experts and have total confidence that my clients are getting both what they need and expect and within a pre-agreed budget, allowing me to focus my expertise where it is most useful. Secondly, having an impartial, second pair of eyes on the business, helping me to grow and win business has been far more valuable than I could have realised. Dakota provides a huge amount of value in terms of helping me to shape out projects, approach potential customers and put my best self forward, while also being a great cheerleader, supporter and, when needed, challenger! Having access to the Vendasta team, fronted by a trusted account handler to guide you through it all is truly one of their greatest achievements. We are launching a new revenue stream for the business this year, and it's entirely down Vendasta's team and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

We really appreciate your thorough and helpful feedback and will be happy to bring this to our development and support teams. We're so proud to be an integral part of your toolbox in scaling your agency!

What do you like best about Vendasta?

Vendasta offers a wide range of resellable products and services. This allows my agency to provide custom packages to businesses large and small to expand their marketing. In addition to the resellable services, their fulfillment teams help keep projects moving forward smoothly and efficiently. And to top it off, the account reps, like Chiara Traverse, act as fantastic guides and cheerleaders, coaching you along the way and celebrating wins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?

The only downside to having such a large fulfillment team needing those streamlined processes can sometimes reduce the ability to do custom work through the platform. But this is sufficiently made up for by the team's willingness to do their best to provide the highest quality of service and fulfillment at a price that allows agencies to maintain healthy margins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vendasta:

When it comes to being onboarded on a new product, most companies get you started, then ghost. Vendasta's team of experts will be walking beside you month after month and year after year to ensure you are getting the most out of the platform and seeing success with its tools and products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vendasta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Vendasta, I had issues finding people to fulfill work for my agency. Contractors were sometimes unavailable or didn't deliver quality work. Vendasta gave me access to quality, vetted fulfillment teams that have helped us scale our work and take on more clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta of Vendasta

Wow, what a vote of confidence! We're proud to help you scale your agency. Congratulations on your successes, and thank you for the kind review!

What do you like best about Vendasta?

I appreciate the ongoing strategic guidance and support from my Business Development Representative, Dwayne Larson. He’s highly knowledgeable, patient and can solve some of the most complex problems with ease and finesse. World-Class! Thanks for everything, for helping me rebuild my business in one of the most challenging times of our lives.

It’s also been such a joy working with Michele Kerr for my Partner Onboarding. I appreciate the world-class guidance, lessons and the support in helping me set my agency up and get going in such a brief space of time.

The biggest highlights for me has been how quickly it all happened and the level of confidence and knowledge I gained in such a short period of time. Feeling super equipped and ready to hit the ground running in 2022. Thanks to Michele and Vendasta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta?
