bwconnect Tops 60 Suppliers
Lakewood, CO — Brandwise, a leading technology innovator in the Gift and Home industry and well known for its software solutions, has announced the release of several significant updates to its popular bwconnect B2B online community and the addition of more suppliers to the growing list of 60 plus companies already committed to the program. The site updates include a new interface that makes it easier than ever for retailers to sign up, retrieve their orders, shop, find new and exciting product lines, and work with their favorite reps to place orders. To help retailers learn more about how they can take advantage of bwconnect, Brandwise will be announcing dates for retailer seminars to be held at several upcoming summer markets.
New suppliers that have signed on include Badash Crystal, Galison/Mudpuppy, Havoc Gifts, Arthur Court, Kay Dee Designs, Crabtree and Evelyn, and Maison Chic to name a few, with more joining every month. “The feedback from industry suppliers has been phenomenal,” says Todd Litzman, President of Brandwise. “We’ve done many face-to-face seminars at recent industry events in an effort to promote the purpose of bwconnect for all stake holders which is, simply put, to help their business. We have added many new features for both the suppliers and the agencies to keep their specific identities within bwconnect, and we continue to do this at no cost to anyone. We’ve put our money where our mouth is by providing a product to extend the reach and visibility of our clients without negatively affecting their pocket books.”
With thousands of retailers already signed on, it is clear they are quickly embracing the idea. It gives them the ability to view their orders, download them to Excel, and work with their favorite companies and reps to create orders on their own timeline, 24/7. “And of course the reps love it,” continues Litzman. “bwconnect is the only site that keeps them as an active participant in the web ordering process, including 100% transparency to orders placed by their retailers online.”
In addition to its more user-friendly interface, bwconnect˙ now features an interactive home page, single page new user registration and a “My Account” page that retailers can personalize with their favorite reps and buying categories. Retailers can also reorder and order with greater ease and shop thousands of products available via lists of best sellers, their favorite suppliers’ catalogs, new products and categories.
bwconnect is a B2B online e-commerce site that is free for retailers and connects them with their sales reps and suppliers. From a single log-in, retailers can work with their reps on rep created suggested orders, reorder product from multiple suppliers based on sales history, easily shop and browse for new products, find new suppliers, and review order histories.
