Best deal of the year ❤️

Looking at the reviews in some LTD-Communities and having worked with Brandox Brand Portals for two weeks now, I think this deal is totally underestimated. I know why, because in the first place I wasn't convinced either. The functionality seemed to be too basic and could be easily replaced by other solutions like Notion or basis WP-Sites. BUT the killer is how they combine different basic functionalities into an easy to use and fully self-explanatory, "simplicity first" SaaS-App:

✅INTERFACE: The Brandox brand portal just works, without any explanation, tutorials, onboarding. And it looks nice. My experience is, that a VERY flat learning curve is needed in order to get client's acceptance for a new tool.

✅DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT: They do not see themselves in the fields of DAMs. But IMO, they are! In a very basic way and this is perfect. Most clients either have their own DAMs or they need a very reduced feature set for their digital asset management. And here Brandox comes into the game. Allowing unlimited users, client-admin rights for brand pages, tagging and search, Brandox brand pages can easily be used as DAMs. And if there is not enough space Brandox offers an upgrade option for 100GB - $49 /year, 250GB - $89 /year, 500GB - $159 /year. Fair enough!

✅BRANDED WETRANSFER ALTERNATIVE: How cool is this: Every brand page has it´s "own wetransfer" included. Download-Pages look really impressive this way!

✅WHITE LABEL / CUSTOM DOMAIN: At the first place they planed it as part of the enterprise plan, than they included it into Appsumo offer. What a wise decision. Now every brand page can have their own custom domain (upcoming).

✅PERMISSION MANAGEMENT: You can invite unlimited users and give them either admin, editing or reading rights. If you don't want to force users to register: You can open a brand page completely or (this is upcoming) give access via passwords. Coolest feature here are the admin rights for your client: You can name one (ore more) person(s) on the client side and let him/her do all the admin work: They can invite other employees and partners who deliver different brand assets. These admin rights are restricted to the specific brand page, and do not affect subscription management or payment information 👍.

✅INTELLIGENT SUBSCRIPTION/WORKSPACE MANAGEMENT: There was a big confusion about subscriptions/workspaces. It looks like it would be a mess to handle a lot of brand pages if you stack codes. NO, it doesn't: ALL, yes ALL brand pages are listed in alphabetical under "My Brand Pages", regardless which "subscription" they belong to. Then why subscriptions at all? Brandox decided to restrict their limits to subscriptions. Fair enough: You get CNAME/Whitelabel (upcoming), 10 brand pages, 150 GB, unlimited users in one subscription. And if you run out of space, you can easily move a brand page to another subscription with free limits.
