We're a pioneering digital only (Web & Mobile) group buying platform for indie Food & Drink retailers & traders including; impulse, convenience, leisure & on-trade. We use the latest in digital marketing technology & principles to aggregate buying power & drive more efficient buying & selling behaviors, such as prepayment & coordinated buying, for the benefit of the whole supply-chain. This enables retailers to improve margins & allows brands more immediate access to the hard-to-reach segment
Retailers can already buy through our transactional website, mobile apps (on both iPhone and Android) or Mobile / iPad Web. There are two types of deals; Specials (heavily discounted volume & time sensitive deals) and Every Day Deals across the top selling 100 Impulse & Convenience branded product lines.Through an exclusive partnership with Menzies Distribution PLC we are able to offer free nationwide delivery on orders over £850 (just 75 cases of any mix) to their 20,000 customers with savings of circa. 15% up to a possible 35% cheaper than typical ‘non-promotional wholesale prices’ for all the major brands like; Coca-Cola, Red Bull, Masterfoods, Nestle Unilever, P&G Walkers and Gallo Wine.
The majority of wholesalers still think & function like large physical retailers, not taking advantage of the efficiencies which emergent digital models offer them and their customers. Currently they still hold large amounts of stock physically in cash-&-carry depots buying product speculatively. As well as being poor brand ambassadors, leading to a build-up of frustration from brands looking to leverage the channel whilst scaling back their own field-sales teams. Our team of seasoned digital & marketing experts, who have helped companies like Tesco.com innovate, have created an online-only ‘lean business’ designed to bring significant efficiencies to the benefit of the whole supply-chain.
We generate a deliberately aggressive blended-margin of 3.8% going up to 7.3% (over a 3 year period) across Every Day & Special Deals, with outsourced Warehousing & Logistics of circa 4%, we are able to consistently pass on up to 35% saving to the retailer because of our lean business model. We also ‘secondary wholesale’ select lines by the truck-load at an average 2% margin. Our overarching strategy is to leverage the power of both complementary channels to unlock better buying margin through shared volumes. WholesalerSaver.com is fundamentally a Low Margin / High Volume model & RetailerSaver.com High Margin / Low Volume. The blend of both gives us an optimum business model.
