Online Trends for Brand Manufacturers

As expectations for online commerce continue to grow stronger over the years, the Silk team works diligently to align our expertise with the necessary trends to be competitive in today’s market. Receive a detailed manufacturer eCommerce solution geared towards driving efficiency and value for your customers, internal resources, and external representatives to give you a step up on your competition.

Automate the daily interactions with your distributors, dealers and retailers. Provide your customers with self-servicing utilities to check status, submit orders and quotes, access product information, view pricing and availability, and download materials.

Although your channel partners are critical, there may be unique opportunities to sell directly and build relationships with your end consumers. Consider the segments of your catalog that can be profitably sold directly to your consumers, without upsetting your channel partners (i.e. spare parts).

Reps and resellers rely on your business to provide the essential toolsets to make them successful. Provide a rich online catalog to support your reps and resellers as they push your products to market.

If your products are complex, your customers may need a visual experience before they are comfortable making a purchase. Enable your reps and resellers to sell even the most complex systems online.

It is critical that your products and services are accessible from anywhere at any time. Mobile apps can provide reps, resellers, or even end consumers a unique experience with your products and services.

Personalization is key to moving manual offline activities to online mediums. By leveraging your customer data, your customer’s experience will be personalized from day one, and will continue to improve over time.
