How Customer Surveys Improve Your Bottom Line
|
Nearly every company spends some portion of revenue on research and development ("R&D"). The benefit, of course, is greater revenue in the future. While "R&D" connotes an image of white-smocked scientists working in some secret "skunk works" laboratory, R&D for distributors takes a different form: customer surveys.
Click here to learn more about how customer surveys can improve a distributor's bottom line and for tips on conducting an effective customer survey.

The answer: WarehouseTWO's
RELATED ITEMS functionality.
Using
RELATED ITEMS, create cross-references between your part numbers and manufacturer-defined part numbers. Or cross-reference old-style items that you still have in stock with more current, functionally equivalent items. The result is that more of your items may appear in search results at WarehouseTWO, increasing the chance of getting a sale.

WarehouseTWO Tip of the Month
Keep your item descriptions short. Your descriptions should be no longer than forty (40) characters. This will keep your posted items displayed in one line, allowing for more items to appear on the screen. As long as you are using the manufacturer's EXACT part number as your posted part number, other distributors should know what your posted item is, even without a long description. (Are you NOT using the manufacturer's EXACT part number in your ERP system? Yikes. Put your new employees out of their misery:
