Wholesale marketing for distributors and suppliers
Trade buyers compare suppliers constantly on range, availability and terms. We build around account acquisition and repeat order value, measured against trade pipeline.
The market
Trade buyers compare constantly on range, terms and reliability
Distributors and wholesalers sit between manufacturers and end users, which makes marketing a relationship and efficiency problem as much as a demand one. Trade buyers want range, availability, terms and reliability, and they compare suppliers constantly.
A catalogue and a price list are not enough. Accounts need to discover you, apply, order, and reorder easily — and your team needs to know which of those moments marketing is actually influencing.
We build wholesale marketing around account acquisition and repeat order value, measured against trade pipeline rather than consumer-style metrics.
What makes it different
What makes distribution different
Every market has its own buying habits. These are the realities that shape distribution marketing.
Trade buyers are rational
Range, availability and terms drive decisions more than brand storytelling.
Account acquisition is formal
Applications and credit terms create steps that marketing must support.
Reorder revenue
The value is in repeat orders, so retention and lifecycle matter from day one.
Competing on efficiency
Margins are thin, so marketing has to be efficient and measurable.
Our approach
How we adapt the method to distribution
The measurement-first system stays the same; the emphasis changes for distribution.
Support account applications
Capture and content that make applying and onboarding straightforward.
Encourage reordering
Lifecycle communication that keeps accounts buying, not just signing up.
Measure repeat value
We track account applications, first orders and reorder rates.

Measurement
How we measure distribution marketing
We hold distribution work to the numbers that matter in this market, not a flattering average.
Distribution marketing is judged on accounts and order value. We report applications, first orders and reorder rate, and we keep the cost per account in view.
- Account applications
- First-order conversion
- Reorder rate and value
- Cost per acquired account
- Catalogue and category engagement

Distribution marketing — frequently asked questions
