Frequently Asked Questions

Are CVR and Sessions related?

These two metrics are related but speak to very different challenges. While driving sessions (eyes) is vitally important to product success, the percent of those eyes who purchase is what makes up CVR. In some cases, you can drive many visitors to a PDP but they are the wrong consumer, resulting in low conversions. The opposite can also be true; marketing efforts might drive only a few of the right customers resulting in an extremely high CVR but not enough sessions to meet sales goals. So while related, the challenges and opportunities presented by these metrics are usually different from one another.

Are remote work options only available for certain positions?

No, remote work options are available for all positions. Our team is 100% remote!

Are services from your partners included with Brandwoven’s management?

Some yes, some no. It really depends on the needs of the brand and the service in question.  Services like Pacvue are always included anytime we are managing marketing because it serves as an invaluable tool in our management set.  Other services are totally optional and  we are always willing to talk through whether they should be included in an agreement.

Are Target.com ads effective?

Brandwoven uses Target.com’s high-intent bottom-funnel shoppers, and performance has yielded Target Product Ads one of the best solutions for ROAS across marketplaces.

At what sports & outdoor brands has your team worked at?

Brandwoven team members have previously held positions at Remington, Sawyer Products, Garmin, Dr.Martens, Adidas, and Keen – just to name a few.

Can all brands choose between 1P and 3P?

It depends on the marketplace, but the majority of the time the decision is made by the platform. For Amazon and Walmart, 1P is an invite-only program with few new brands being invited. 3P is generally more open and available to most brands. However, Amazon and other marketplaces may place limitations on a brand changing from Vendor Central to Seller Central, while others might have the flexibility to choose.

Can Brandwoven help me with the Target Plus application?

Our team of experts, can help position the brand on Amazon.com and Walmart.com in preparation for our client’s application to Target Plus. We will help our partners navigate that application.

Can catalog monitoring improve my search rankings?

Yes, by ensuring your listings are accurate, complete, and optimized with relevant keywords, catalog monitoring can improve your search rankings and increase product visibility.

Can forecasting help with inventory management?

Yes, accurate forecasting ensures you maintain optimal inventory levels, avoiding both stockouts and excess inventory, leading to efficient inventory management and cost savings.

Can I conduct a market share analysis for new products?

While new products will not hold a percentage of the market yet, it is still important to analyze the market size and product attributes that are dominating the space.

Can I do a VC and SC hybrid model?

Except in very specific situations, we don’t recommend it. Having VC and SC running at the same time often violates TOCs at Amazon which isn’t something we’d ever recommend.

Can I do different pack sizes on Walmart.com that won’t impact my Amazon pricing because it has a different UPC and different quantity or package size?

To be safe, the answer is no. Amazon has started to scrape pricing down to the unit count or even price per pound or ounce. All pricing for any pack size should match Amazon’s sellable unit.

Can I save money working with your partners through Brandwoven?

Most of the time, yes. We have an agency pricing model that allows our brands to save money while gaining access to, or using services from, our partners.

Can I ship products right from my warehouse to end customers?

At Brandwoven, we can support your business fulfillment strategy in a variety of ways. We’ve partnered with brands who used a FBA, FBM, or 3PL hybrid strategy.
