Why is industry-specific experience important?

Brand-Side Experience

The Brandwoven team is full of ecommerce experts who have also worked on the brand side in various industries. For each of our partners, we link up people who have walked in the shoes of the brand, and in the industry where they compete. This not only allows us to start fast, but be better consultants with the perspective necessary to understand the pressures our partners face.

Understand Your Competition

Expertise in your category allows us to know the competitive pressures you are facing, or are likely to face. In some categories, there are major, established brands entrenched on Amazon. For others, factory direct brands coming from overseas are generating significant price and advertising pressures to contend with. The good news? We've seen it before, we know your category, and we can act decisively to assure our partners win.

Knowledge of The Retail Landscape

An often overlooked but critical aspect of managing marketplace is understanding where consumers shop for each industry. Our expertise in your category allows us to know the important players and the common disruptors. For instance, we know the impact of UNFI and KeHE distribution on buy box for grocery brands, and we know the value independent retailers bring in the Hunt and Fish markets. This is foundational to solid consulting and a deep understanding of your goals as a partner.

Common Challenges

Having a team with experience in so many industries also allows us to know the unique challenges that sellers in a category might face, and have solutions to work through those challenges. Examples range from the unique hurdles of food products with expiration dates, to oversized products. In other categories, we know the challenges of profitability might be pervasive throughout the industry. Having "been there, done that" we can predict and overcome industry-related obstacles for our partners.

Clothing, Shoes & Accessories

We know how challenging variations, returns, and seasonal rotations can be for our clothing, shoes, and accessories partners, and will dedicate the resources and know-how to turn the headache of marketplace into a platform of growth.

Home & Kitchen

An incredibly dynamic category, home and kitchen is one of the original industries where brands had success building volume and reputation on Amazon alone. The nature of the category being dominated by a few multi-brand conglomerates, and the fact that the category faces nearly constant consolidation, also makes it a unique challenge for new or emerging brands. But even in this competitive space, Brandwoven has a track record of finding the right consumer, building volume, and capturing the repeating nature of purchases within this industry.

Hunt & Fish

The unique needs of our hook and bullet customers range from regulatory limitations and methods by which the products are distributed. Different from many other industries, the need for 2-step distribution and deep ties to both big box and independent retailers creates a fragile selling environment where Amazon must exist without disrupting other important channels of trade. Brandwoven has worked with dozens of brands in the space and has shown how to effectively leverage marketplace without causing disruption to other channels.

A broad category marked by many large and heavy products, patio, garden, and tools has unique selling challenges that are understood by the Brandwoven team. This industry has seen significant impact from factory direct sellers and were characteristically slower to jump on the ecommerce trend based on the size and scale of the products. However, since 2020, consumers have increasingly been moving to ecommerce, specifically marketplace, to make the majority of purchases. This shift has brought forth innovation in the category, offering many unique ways for brands to reach and deliver products to consumers.
