The Manufacturer’s Playbook For D2c Ecommerce
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) eCommerce is the way forward for manufacturers. Our eBook provides technical and strategic tips that can help manufacturers springboard to digital commerce.
Manufacturing Industry
The Manufacturing World is Changing, and eCommerce is Now Table Stakes
As a manufacturer, you maintain a strong relationship with your customers, providing them the exact level of personalized service they desire. But the world around us is changing rapidly, and the old ways of doing business won’t suffice for much longer.
For instance, your customers won’t have the time or inclination to call or email a sales rep to place their orders. They’ll want an eCommerce site that allows them to place an order or check the order status at their own convenience. And the demand for an eCommerce site will only accelerate as a new generation of buyers and purchasing agents — steeped in the digital age — assume leadership roles within their organizations. If you can’t meet their demands, they’ll find another manufacturer that can meet their needs.
Finally, due to the pandemic lockdowns and the retail apocalypse, many retailers have shuttered. Manufacturers across all sectors see the establishment of direct relationships with consumers as a lifeline.
5 Reasons Why D2c Brands Should Migrate To Magento Commerce
What makes Magento a better option for direct-to-consumer brands? From hyper-personalization to omnichannel capabilities, Magento has everything that enables innovation and continuous growth.
How To Choose The Best Magento eCommerce Services
You’ve decided to build your eCommerce store on Magento. Where do you start? This blog highlights the key factors to be included in your evaluation process while choosing a Magento partner.
Benefits of B2B eCommerce
A B2B eCommerce site allows you to provide the personalized service your customers want and need, but that’s just a start. It will also deliver critical benefits that will strengthen your relationship with your valued clients while allowing you to expand your business.
Convenience
- Flexible ordering - With just a few keystrokes, your customers can order from past orders, upload a spreadsheet with SKUs and quantities, or order from a shopping list they’ve created. Your customers can also share quote requests and shopping lists with other buyers within their organizations.
- Role-Based Permissions - All companies place spending limits on their employees, requiring additional authority and approval for high ticket items. Role-based permission functionality allows your customers to manage buyer permissions themselves.
- Robust Search - Enable your customers to search your catalog and discover products they didn’t know you carried. Intelligent and intuitive search capabilities, including filtering down by item, category, brand, or SKU level, promotes product discovery.
- Streamlined Order Management and Inventory Workflows - Provide your customers with accurate and real-time inventory information by linking your ERP system to your eCommerce platform.
Personalization
- Differentiated Pricing - Ensure your customers see only the negotiated prices with every order they place (and eliminate follow up calls to your sales team).
- Custom Catalogs - Create custom catalogs for your customers, which they can easily sort through and quickly find the items they need.
- Flexible Payment - Enable your customers to buy via your website and pay according to their organization’s procedures: purchase orders, invoices, credit card, electronic payment, and so on.
Extend Your Business
- B2B & DTC on the Same Ecommerce Site - With the right eCommerce platform, a single website can offer B2B functionality for your commercial buyers and a direct-to-consumer channel for customers.
- Marketplace Integration - Extend your product catalog to online marketplaces, such as Amazon Business or Alibaba, to allow new buyers to discover your brand.
- Marketing Tools - Leverage a host of marketing tools, such as customer segmentation and personalization, product recommendations, and the ability to launch, manage and optimize email, digital, social media, and SMS campaigns.
