Take your D2C business to the Russian market

Expand your business. Increase your profits.

How D2C works ?

Direct to consumer

Our approach is to minimize the number of intermediaries between the manufacturer and the end user who purchases and uses the product. In order to achieve this goal, we have direct contracts with some of the most popular and competitive marketplaces and retail chains in Russia, such as Yandex Market, Ozon, Mvideo, Eldorado, Leroy Merlin, SberMegaMarket, and Wildberries, among others.

Extra profit

In comparison to traditional OEM businesses, which earn profit based on the internal manufacturing margin, D2C business allows you to earn profit from each individual customer who purchases your products through marketplaces or other direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels. Our analysis shows that, overall, you can potentially earn three times more profit than OEM businesses.

Long-term perspective

D2C approach gives you a chance to build your own stable brand that can be the best solution in the eyes of consumers without constantly iterating of negotiations with OEM partners. Customer preferences will automatically lead to orders for your product, and all you need to maintain their preference for your brand is a D2C business in Russia.

Develops OEM business

Internal representation not only helps you build your own business, but it also expands your opportunities from an OEM business perspective. By having your own direct-to-consumer (D2C) channel, you can negotiate more strongly with partners and have a team that can protect your interests in Russia.
