Many manufacturers have thought about or are currently selling to their purchasers, but only a few have mastered the other side of the market: Direct to Consumer. For the majority of B2B sellers, there is an opportunity in opening up the channels that you sell through, such as a Distribution ecommerce Platform. The manufacturers that have started selling direct to their consumers have generated an annual growth rate of over 15% which makes them the fastest growing merchant category on the internet In fact, the manufacturers in ecommerce that have started selling directly to their consumers have generated an annual growth rate of over 15% which makes them the fastest-growing merchant category on the internet. Obviously, this indicates a huge opportunity for newcomers to take advantage of this growing market. But Why Direct-to-Consumer? First off, let's talk about the different business models. No distributor will be able to provide the level of personalization or customization that you will when selling your own products. When you control vertical integration, you have all of the power. The ability to control a user's experience from product discovery all the way to purchase time is invaluable, and you can also cross-sell and up-sell your other products (making it easy to increase revenue per visit and per checkout).
