3 reasons to sell on Target.com
1. Unauthorized sellers are gated
Target.com boasts exclusivity by UPC. That means, if a seller lists a product, nobody else can list that product. That is great news for brands who want only authorized distributors selling their products online, because it effectively gates unauthorized sellers from selling their products on Target.com, provided they list them there first.
2. Provides a streamlined, curated experience for customers
Target creates a streamlined, curated experience for customers. The marketplace seeks to limit the assortment they carry for each product type to the very best products in order to reduce the amount of brands that a customer would have to sort through to make a decision.
3. Lots of latent demand on Target.com
Since Target.com provides a fair amount of unique benefits to both buyers and sellers, there is a lot of latent demand to go with the untapped potential. Below are some statistics on the demographics of the average Target.com shopper.
