Pricing Insights
Endless Aisle allows vendors to remain competitive by providing insights for pricing each product according to market values. The platform will categorize each product in your catalog as Great Value, Good Value, or Fair Value. These labels will signal to customers which products are a better investment. Therefore, you won't ever make blind decisions about pricing strategies.
Customizable Delivery Zones
We understand that not all wholesale suppliers ship products nationwide. That's why we allow our vendors to choose which businesses can view their product catalog. In other words, companies outside the mile radius you select won't ever see your product listings. As a result, your catalog will only be visible to potential shoppers.
Incentivize Repeat Business
Endless Aisle vendors have the ability to kick-start sales by offering free delivery to first-time shoppers. Once you receive orders from new customers, you can move further with your B2B marketing efforts. Whether you provide additional free deliveries or discounts, there are numerous promotions you can set up in the Endless Aisle.
Endless Aisle for Restaurants
Restaurants and other food service establishments can apply to be part of an elite network of businesses. Not only will restaurants with exclusive access to the Endless Aisle have a vast selection of suppliers to shop from, but they’ll also gain instant access to other game-changing benefits.
