Distribution strategy and channel conflicts are current concerns in Ecommerce. Where are the opportunities, what are the risks? Consumer behavior is constantly changing. Customers think and act omnichannel† Companies that missed out often attributed this to the deteriorating economic situation and low consumer confidence.

See this challenge as an opportunity to innovate and strengthen your business.

Consumers have embraced the (price) transparency of the internet and have become more critical. As a result, you see the average prices fall in many branches. Price fighters such as Primark, Action and Lidl benefit from this. Consumers are more likely to shop for bargains. In the supermarkets, this is reflected in the increased pressure to act and an almost permanent price war for the last percentage of market share. For A-brand manufacturers, this means, among other things, that they have to offer increasingly higher discounts in order to participate in the deep promotions. Many companies are investing heavily in the growth of private labels because of the higher margins and customer loyalty. Do these developments necessitate a change of course in your distribution strategy? Discuss the possibilities with the experts at Ecommerce Result.

Now that almost everyone uses a smartphone, consumers decide how, where and when they buy. Because many traditional stores realize less turnover, wholesalers, brands and manufacturers are forced to adjust their distribution strategy. Wholesalers are increasingly also supplying end consumers with their B2B webshop, which can create friction with the current resellers. Brands and manufacturers are seeing their market shares fall as more and more companies introduce their own brands. Here too we see forward and backward integrations in the distribution column. Brands are increasingly opening their own web shops and brand stores in shopping centers. How do you deal with these shifts? How do you develop a distribution strategy that offers more value to existing customers and opens the way to new customers and markets? Our experts are ready to discuss new challenges and opportunities with you.
