Cobranding Opportunities
Increase site stickiness with localendar
Give your users the ability to create and maintain calendars on your site.
localendar's cobranding programs allow you to offer our services, integrated
seamlessly into your site with your own
logo and color scheme.
This is a powerful method for ISPs, schools, clubs, newspapers, and organizations
to enhance their offerings and increase traffic.
Basic Cobranding
Basic Cobranding allows you to offer a completely customized calendar
on your site. We provide you with a simple URL (e.g. http://www.localendar.com/cobrand/mycompany)
for your users to access their calendars. Users will receive a sign-on
prompt and an option for new members to sign up. With Basic Cobranding,
you can
customize the color scheme of our pages (e.g. background colors, menu
colors, etc) to
match your own site. You can customize
the default calendar
color scheme used by all new members, and
you can even optionally supply your own
logo to appear at the top of every page ! Your users can customize their
calendar color preferences to their own liking, but every new member will
begin with the default colors that you choose. There is no minimum user
requirement for Basic Cobranding. Click
on the button below to put Basic Cobranding to work on your site right
now !
Advanced
Cobranding
When one size
doesn't fit all, Advanced Cobranding allows you
to integrate localendar's services into your site more seamlessly than
possible with Basic Cobranding. localendar makes this tighter integration
possible by allowing you to customize several additional aspects of our
services, providing a facade for your
users to transparently
move
between
their calendar and the rest of your site.
With Advanced Cobranding,
you can:
- specify your
own logo and color scheme (page colors and default calendar colors)
- reposition our
menu bar and navigational calendar
- add your own text,
buttons, links, or other customized content to every page
- design your own
"gateway" pages to handle common operations like logging in,
signing up for a new calendar, or requesting a lost password
- handle your own
errors (e.g. what happens when somone tries to login with the wrong
password ?)
- signup large batches
of members asyncronously via a nightly XML feed
- let your users
sign on to your site once (and not again to access their calendar)
Advanced Cobranding
gives you complete control over the look and feel of how localendar will
serve your site. If any problems are encountered while processing one
of your users' requests, with advanced cobranding you can specify a URL
where the user should be redirected, read a response code from our server,
and then dynamically handle the error however you like.
With Advanced Cobranding,
we literally provide you with access to our public cobranding API so that
you can build and host your own customized "gateway" pages, for the cleanest
integration with your site's look and feel. We support CGI, ASP, JSP,
Cold Fusion, you name it ! If a user has already logged in and been authenticated
at your site, Advanced Cobranding gives you the option of allowing them
to access their calendar without having to sign in again.
Advanced
cobranding requires a minimum of 5,000 users. To
put Advanced Cobranding to work on your site, send an email to cobranding@localendar.com
What
does it cost ?
Both options are
completely free. We subsidize our costs via the banner ads on cobranded
pages. A
standard banner ad and small "powered by localendar" logo will accompany
all cobranded pages.
Still
have questions ?
Send us an email at cobranding@localendar.com
if you have any unanaswered questions or would like to discuss your specific
cobranding requirements with a member of our cobranding team.
