What is a sales channel?
A sales channel is a multi-supplier digital space where your products are made available to buyers. It’s the same as what we commonly refer to as a marketplace.
Marketplaces give you visibility and access to targeted buyer communities. They can be open to a broad network of suppliers, or restricted, limited to a specific group according to its managers specifications. For example, a marketplace could only be open to textile suppliers from a certain territory or following certain sustainability guidelines.
Who owns these marketplaces?
Each marketplace is owned and managed by a third-party organization. These organizations are responsible for curating the marketplace, approving suppliers, and often setting guidelines or themes.
Marketplace owners include:
Industry institutions
Trade shows
Trademarks ((yarn, certification, fibers))
Media organizations
Circularity and sustainability institutions
Nation-wide textile or manufacturing associations
By participating in a marketplace, your products are placed in a curated space that’s designed to attract relevant buyers, giving you more visibility and industry presence.
Note: All marketplace-related actions, including sending product display requests and managing your presence, can be done directly from your system’s admin panel.
