Marketing to merchants & distributors

Give a buying team a reason to stock your range and branch staff the information to recommend it. Trade marketing for manufacturers and suppliers selling through merchants and distributors.

A listing needs support at the branch

A buying team can agree to a range while branch staff remain unsure when to recommend it. The buyer needs to see which customer requirement the range answers and why it merits space in the offer. Counter staff need the applications, the common product questions and a route to further help.

Purplex develops the material for those different jobs, from trade advertising to product explanations the channel can use.

Connect demand to somewhere customers can buy

An advert for a product stocked through a network should lead a customer towards that network. Check that the product and stockist information agree, and decide who handles an availability question. Generating interest without a usable buying route leaves the channel unable to benefit from the campaign.
