D2C is on the rise in digital commerce because it presents numerous advantages for both retailers and customers. The right marketplace integration is crucial here. Contact us What is D2C in digital commerce? One small step, one big effect In contrast to traditional trade, producers skip wholesalers, middlemen and retailers in D2C (“Direct to Customer”). D2C includes all sales channels which involve a direct customer relationship: the company’s online and local stores, marketplaces, and even an Instagram shop. Did you know? In German digital commerce, the D2C segment is the fastest growing. According to the German E-Commerce and Mail Order Association (BEHV, Bundesverband E-Commerce und Versandhandel), the market grew by 25% in 2021 compared to the previous year, while the digital commerce market as a whole “only” grew by 19%.  More independence, greater brand loyalty What are the advantages of D2C for manufacturers and customers? Even for large companies, adding a D2C strategy to their digital commerce is often a big step, entering uncharted territory and competing with retailers who have an edge thanks to their experience with direct sales to end customers.   But taking this step is worth it: D2C means independence for manufacturers, giving them full control over packaging, product variants, range and marketing. The fewer people involved, the lower the risks of errors in the supply chain.   End customers, on the other hand, like to buy directly from the manufacturer and, as a result, evidence greater brand loyalty. They acquire original products and learn more about them, such as materials and manufacturing processes – provided the manufacturer maintains a good PIM system. As manufacturers respond to customer queries directly, they create a true 360° experience – including omnichannel customer service. Contact us Connection to online marketplaces The importance of marketplaces is often underestimated in D2C. It seems complex to connect and the requirements often too great: product data quality must be right, and all digital marketplaces have their own interfaces, APIs and processes to boot.   If you appear on marketplaces as a brand, you gain reach and, in turn, turnover. Operators such as Amazon or eBay can be the right way to go, whilst leaders on the market often create a marketplace of their own. novomind iMARKET We automate marketplace connection in digital commerce In order for companies to successfully integrate their own digital commerce into the relevant national and international online marketplaces, they need software that offers individual backend solutions. novomind iMARKET is the answer for anyone looking for the ultimate reach boost – online and offline.
