Inspire buyers with unique brand stories

Designing and producing the best products isn’t enough to stand out in today's wholesale landscape.

Diversify marketing channels and formats

Brands are spending less time on trade shows as they search for more cost-effective ways to attract buyers. Even buyers are leaning more towards digital channels as they gravitate towards the previously mentioned B2C-like experiences. 

In the Insider’s Guide, we share tips on how to use email to successfully connect with retailers, and dive into other marketing channels and tools like Virtual Showrooms and shoppable videos you can use to engage buyers and make your brand come to life online.

Choose the right retailers for your brand

A mismatched retailer can tarnish your brand’s reputation and undo years of hard work. Take the time to research beyond prospective partner’s target customers and target markets. Look into their reputations and digital maturity too.

Use market data to wow buyers

Buyers want to form strong partnerships with brands that can withstand sudden shifts in the market. Trends are passing more quickly than ever, and global supply chains are becoming increasingly unpredictable. To stay profitable, both brands and retailers need the ability to stay ahead of sudden changes. 

That’s where data enter the picture. Use market data to solidify your relationships with buyers. Use it to identify upcoming or waning trends, then communicate those shifts with buyers. Read our newest guide for more tips on using data to form lasting connections with retailers.

Invest in the right tools and technology

Make it easier for buyers to do business with you. Offer convenient payments and checkout options, 24/7 accessibility, and visually-rich, digital experiences. Give your brand a major competitive advantage with a scalable B2B commerce platform that brings all your marketing, sales, and inventory data in one place. 

Help your brand command more attention in buyers’ eyes.
