Shop Local helps sales reps in many ways:
1. We Help Retailers Place Re-Orders With You
- We help your retailers contact you.
- In your retailer's Online Store, we display your contact information on the pages for which you're the rep. This makes it easy for the store to contact you and place a re-order. Note: This information is only shown when the retailer is logged in.
For example, if you're the Juliska sales rep, when the merchant views their Juliska page and is logged in, we'll show your name, phone number, and a message you link.
2. We Give You Network Order Alerts
- We alert you when orders are placed via your retailers that well your brands.
For example, when you're the Juliska sales rep and a retailer using our platform sells a Juliska item, the next day we'll send you an email alerting you about this network order. You do not need to act on this order; the merchant is responsible for deciding how to act on it (it may have the item in stock, etc).
3. Get Access to Your Own Online Product Catalog
- We give you an online catalog filled with products from brands that you rep.
Examples: Rosse & Associates: https://rosse.myshoplocal.com/, Kitchen2Table: https://kitchen2table.myshoplocal.com/
4. Find New Retail Prospects
- Find new retailers with your Prospecting page and the Leaderboard.
You can see an example of the Leaderboard here: https://www.shoplocal.org/leaderboard
5. We Help You Earn More In Commission
- Retailers that use Shop Local sell an average of 18% more, which means you earn 18% more commission.
- Shop Local makes it easier for retailers to list more of your brands' products online, expanding their digital shelf space and boosting sales potential.
