Direct-to-consumer (D2C or D2B) selling is crucial to adapt to new buying habits
E-commerce and digitalisation during the pandemic have enabled manufacturers and producers to sell directly to consumers, without intermediaries. According to Sales Force, global e-commerce grew 58% in the first quarter of 2021, driven by online demand.
Selling direct-to-consumer offers benefits such as greater control over branding, customer experience, pricing, margins, inventory and innovation. It also enables the collection of information on preferences and behaviours, facilitating personalisation and customer loyalty.
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C or D2B) sales are now crucial to adapt to transformations in customer purchasing habits.
The growth of e-commerce and the digitisation of sales channels during the pandemic has facilitated direct access from manufacturers and producers to end consumers, without relying on intermediaries such as distributors or retailers. According to a Sales Force report, global e-commerce grew 58% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2021, driven by online demand for essential and non-essential products.
The benefits of direct-to-consumer sales for manufacturers and producers, such as greater control over brand image, customer experience, pricing, margins, inventory, and innovation, are the key arguments. In addition, direct-to-consumer sales allow for the collection of more information about customer preferences, behavior, and satisfaction, facilitating customization, loyalty, and retention.
