Put over 15 years of experience to work growing your business. This year Digital River will handle over $8 billion in global e-sales for our clients.
Consumers are buying consumer electronics (CE) online more than ever. Combine that with the squeeze that bricks-and-mortar stores are putting on margins, and it’s easy to see that for CE manufacturers, selling direct is no longer just an option – it’s a necessity. That’s why manufacturers are turning to direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales—and to Digital River.
Making a play for online markets doesn’t have to threaten your channel partner relationships. When CE companies combine a multi-channel strategy with Digital River’s online knowhow and global infrastructure, it’s more possible than ever to strike a profitable balance between a direct and indirect channel strategy.
By partnering with Digital River, you can speak to millions of global consumers who are not only researching products online, but willing and able to buy now—and who are ready to purchase directly from manufacturers like you.
Digital River’s fully integrated D2C capabilities spare you the time and expense of building, managing and
growing an
e-commerce presence. Because
we handle the e-commerce details,
you’re able to reach global markets faster with an effective online sales presence that sparks the sale.
