With only so many available resources, determining where, when, and how to dedicate your time and dollars is crucial to increasing your chances of landing a deal with your dream retailer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, industry experts from Walgreens, Allume Group, Market Performance Group, and Omnicom Commerce Group addressed the above question during our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rangeme.com\/webinars\/whats-next-for-ecommerce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>What\u2019s Next for E-Commerce? Why Brands and Retailers Need to Rethink Their Strategy<\/em><\/a> panel discussion. They gave us the inside scoop on today\u2019s e-commerce landscape and identified future business opportunities for emerging brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating an e-commerce strategy is essential for brands and retailers looking to increase sales and thrive in the digital or physical space. Here are a few takeaways from the panel discussion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Product discovery goes digital<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop\" alt=\"Andrea K. Leigh, Founder &amp; CEO of Allume Group\" class=\"wp-image-11587\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?w=1080 1080w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?w=65 65w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-2.png?w=50 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most product discovery happens digitally regardless of whether your product is sold in-store or online. Whether it\u2019s on the retailer&#8217;s website or social media, \u201cnearly 80-90% of shopping journeys begin online,\u201d says Andrea K. Leigh, Founder &amp; CEO of Allume Group. Having a strong digital presence at the beginning of the shoppers\u2019 journey is super important since this is when consumers discover and educate themselves on today\u2019s available products. This supports the well-known saying, \u201cmeet the customer where they are.\u201d It\u2019s a lot easier to show up on a customer\u2019s radar if you have a presence in the place they already shop, and in this case, online.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said, try creating products with a \u201cdigital-first\u201d mindset. Leigh suggests asking yourself if the product will ship well and if your packaging reads well online. Thinking about small details during product development can save you a few headaches in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For a limited time, Allume Group is offering all RangeMe and ECRM members free access to their Marketplace Fundamentals &amp; eCommerce Success Framework course.

Flexibility, innovation, a deep understanding of a specific audience, and the ability to diversify an assortment to bring in new customers are just a few of the reasons retailers like to work with emerging brands.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Janae Pasquinelli, Senior Director of Digital Merchandising at Walgreens shared several benefits emerging brands bring to Walgreens. Not only do they help expand assortment, test new spaces, and gauge customers\u2019 interest, but brands willing to utilize alternate fulfillment methods, such as drop shipping, offer the retailer a relatively low-risk opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop\" alt=\"Bryan Gildenberg, SVP of Commerce of Omnicom Commerce Group\" class=\"wp-image-11589\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?w=1080 1080w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?w=65 65w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-3.png?w=50 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, emerging brands often have a greater understanding of the audience they\u2019re trying to reach because of their direct-to-consumer sales. Bryan Gildenberg, SVP of Commerce of Omnicom Commerce Group suggests leveraging this knowledge (aka data) when exploring retailer opportunities. It can give your audience and your brand more value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The question you\u2019ve all been waiting for<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs an emerging brand, do I focus my efforts on getting into a digital store, or do I go online first?\u201d If you were expecting mixed answers from our panelists, this wasn\u2019t the case. While admitting it can depend on your audience and the timing, they agreed that getting your product picked up by an online retailer was the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11590\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?w=1080 1080w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?w=65 65w, https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-3.png?w=50 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rachel Tetreault, Executive Vice President of eCommerce &amp; Omnichannel at Market Performance Group suggests starting online because you can \u201ctest and learn before making the investment to launch nationally in-stores.\u201d Beginning your selling journey online can allow you to listen to customers\u2019 feedback through ratings and reviews and make tweaks to your product before launching in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many large retailers only bring new products into their stores once a year, so starting online can also save you a lot of time to start selling your products. While it may be easier to get your product sold online and even more frictionless to sell on places like Amazon, Leigh warns that it\u2019s also harder to get discovered\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content is king<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026which is where content comes in. Competition may be tough, but our panelists had a few tips and tricks up their sleeves for standing out amongst other e-commerce suppliers. If there\u2019s one area emerging brands should invest in, it\u2019s content. Getting to the top of search engine results is no easy feat but taking the time and investment to make your product more discoverable pays off big time. Having incorrect product descriptions or bad photos slows down the onboarding process for retailers and slims your chances of meeting with them all together. Your website and social media presence should have clear and accurate content that explains what your product\/business is, how it works, why consumers need it, and pair that with high-quality, engaging visuals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our panelists suggest ensuring everything from titles to ingredients are optimized and clearly listed out. Today, there are tons of free tools like social media and SEO guides that help level the playing field for emerging brands competing with national brands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The future of e-commerce<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the shift of e-commerce\u2019s role within retail has been a hot topic since the beginning of the pandemic, we choose to focus on the future. In the coming years, we expect the gap between e-commerce and brick-and-mortar retail to continue to close. Consumers have grown used to buying products whenever and wherever they want, forcing digital and physical retail to rely on one another for optimal sales. This is also the era for emerging brands to control the retail space as retailers diversify their assortments and consumers turn towards more sustainable, transparent, and value-driven brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rangeme.com\/webinars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em> to watch the entire panel discussion and explore upcoming live webinars.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry experts from Walgreens, Allume Group, Market Performance Group, and Omnicom Commerce Group discussed the future of e-commerce. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":11586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2584],"tags":[795,38,471,3358,37,697,922,3255,28,3356,422,407,36,3355,30,3265,32,44,27,26,3357,2242,450],"class_list":["post-11585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-best-practices","tag-best-practices","tag-consumer-goods","tag-consumer-packaged-goods","tag-content-strategy","tag-cpg","tag-cpg-trends","tag-e-commerce","tag-emerging-brands","tag-entrepreneurship","tag-industry-experts","tag-industry-insights","tag-industry-trends","tag-innovation","tag-panel-discussion","tag-rangeme","tag-rangeme-webinars","tag-retail","tag-retail-trends","tag-small-business","tag-supplier","tag-the-future-of-e-commerce","tag-walgreens","tag-webinars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
