Whether your network has 50 people or 50,000 we can provide a solution that will help you grow your business. Contact us at sales@teamr.com and let us show you how you can have your own social network up and running in just a few weeks!
We can private-label our software to meet your company's group organization needs and even allow you to control the advertising! You can create your very own online social network and group management software, allowing your users to organize their groups and communicate with one another while constantly being exposed to your brand. Licensing is a simple process and costs are based on the amount of active users you have - big or small, this can work for you.
Our users average 40 Advertising Impressions per month as members of a teamr group.
The best part is that with automated reminders, impressions continue through emails and SMS even when users change their activity patterns!
You determine the domain name you want to use (just check if it is available) and teamr will manage it for you - from upgrades to support, we take care of everything! Contact us at sales@teamr.com for more details and pricing information.

Instructions for setting up your own private labeled portal
The first, and most obvious step is to negotiate the agreement with Teamr.
Once we negotiate pricing and a development schedule, you will have to do the tasks below.
Once we receive all of this information and you have completed all the setup steps, it takes 1-2 weeks for us to complete the portal setup.
1. Choose a domain name
Your domain can either be a domain you already own, or you can buy a new one.
2. Setup DNS
Your domain's registrar (e.g., GoDaddy.com, Verisign.com, Gandi.net, etc) will have a place where you can modify and update your DNS settings for your domain.
You need to set up two specific subdomains to point to our servers: app and * need "A" records to point to 206.71.184.235.
That last (the *) is an asterisk, which means "all other domains".
This is so that your groups can create their own websites, which is a function all Teamr groups can do.
3. Build your website and add our login form and new account creation form
You may already have a website, or you may want to build your own.
We also work with companies who build websites, so let us know if you want us to get a bid for you.
In all cases, you will need to have a login form like the form on this website.
First, you will need to copy the javascript from here:
http://www.teamr.com/scripts/login_scripts.js
There are several places in that script that reference teamr.com - just replace that with your domain and place it in your website's file system.
Then you will need to build a login form like the one on this website. The login form for team leaders looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/login_scripts.js"></script>
<h1>Sign In to Your Account</h1>
<form method="post" name="captainLoginForm" action="http://app.teamr.com/app/login.pl" onsubmit="setRememberMe()">
<label>Email:</label>
<input type="text" name="Email" value="" class="input2" />
<label style="margin-top:0px;">Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="Password" value="" class="input2" style="margin-top:3px;" />
<br class="clear" />
<label>Login Type:</label>
<div class="block">
<input type="radio" class="input2" name="loginType" value="Captain" onclick="updateLoginForm()" />
<a onclick="forceRadioSelect('Captain'); updateLoginForm();" style="cursor: default; font-weight: bold;"><label style="margin-left: 5px;">Team Leader</label></a><br />
<input type="radio" class="input2" name="loginType" onclick="updateLoginForm()" value="Player"/>
<a onclick="forceRadioSelect('Player'); updateLoginForm();" style="cursor: default; font-weight: bold;"><label style="margin-left: 5px;">Team Member</label></a><br />
</div>
<br class="clear" />
<div id="rememberMe" class="block" style="float: left; color: #696969;"></div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<input type="submit" class="buttonBig2" value="Sign In" onclick="return checkAccountType()" />
<a onclick="forgotPassword()"><strong>Forgot your Password?</strong></a>
</div>
</form>
You will also need to have a page that lets people create their team leader accounts.
An example of this page is here at
http://www.teamr.com/sign_up.html.
Your account creation page should have the exact same <form> elements as the page above. You also have additional account signup options:
- If you want to set a default for the website created for the first group...
- Set an element called "WelcomeMessage" to pre-define the welcome message on the front of the group's website
- Set an element called "ShowNewsBlog" to "Yes" or "No" to show the News/Blog section
- Set an element called "ShowFansBox" to "Yes" or "No" to show the website Fans/Supporters and Comments sections
- Set an element called "ShowSponsorSignup" to "Yes" or "No" to show the sponsors who might support the group
- If you want to set the first sales goal for the storefront, define the element "FirstTeamSalesGoal" (an integer)
