Entering the E-Commerce Space for the Electronic Components Distributor

Microchips & Integrated CircuitsThe days when you could count on word of mouth and a little advertising to bring in electronic components customers are gone. Buying habits have changed — the vast majority of people now do a web search to find the items they need. Because of this, distributors hoping to attract new business and retain current customers must grow and optimize their online presence in order to accommodate this change in buyer behavior.

But where do you start? You could choose to launch an online store through your business’ current website or start a new website all together. This strategy has many complexities, but it can be a worthwhile undertaking. Alternatively, you could sell your electronic components through an established online marketplace, like Verical.com.

Verical's website attracts millions of shoppers looking for electronic parts. Buyers can search over $11 billion in inventory from over 760 manufacturers. With competitive prices and a guarantee that all components are fully warrantied and traceable, Verical is the premier option for electronic parts buyers — and for the electronic parts distributor looking to reach millions of buyers.

If your business is considering entering the e-commerce space, selling on Verical's online marketplace should be part of your strategy. Let's take a look at several factors that distributors must consider when launching an online store and how partnering with Verical can help.

Here are three considerations for companies entering the e-commerce space.

1. Are you optimizing your website for all devices?

Just a few years ago, the only viewing platform to consider in website design was a traditional computer screen. But customer habits are changing fast, as mobile devices surge in popularity. As in B2C markets, B2B research and purchasing are rapidly shifting to mobile.

To have a successful e-commerce business, a website must be optimized for every platform — whether it’s a smart phone, a tablet, a desktop, or perhaps even a smartwatch. Depending on how sophisticated you want your website to be, this can be costly for your bottom line.

One major benefit to selling on an established online marketplace is that its developers have likely satisfied this requirement for you. Buyers viewing the Verical website will have a seamless experience whether using a desktop computer, tablet, or phone. Distributors simply list their authorized, available parts, and buyers from all over the world — using any kind of device — can easily purchase them.

2. Can your customers find you?

When customers search "electronic components marketplace," approximately 95 percent of them won't look beyond the first page of results. If your website appears on a subsequent page, you've already lost most of your potential customers.

So, how do you get on that first page? You can implement a content marketing program and optimize your website for search engines. Both are very effective, though can be expensive propositions that show results gradually.

Linking up with an electronic components marketplace takes care of the content and SEO marketing for you. Verical has a robust web presence, which sellers can leverage to reach millions of buyers worldwide. What's more, partnering with Verical is free, and Verical handles all of the customer interaction and payment transactions. Distributors can benefit from Verical's digital investment to drive sales growth and reach new customers at no cost to their business.

3. How long is your response time?

Are your customers getting your product in a timely manner? If they have questions, can they reach you over the phone? What about global customers — is your phone staffed 24 hours a day? Is the customer's experience consistent and frictionless? For small businesses, simultaneously filling orders and meeting these demands can be a nightmare.

Verical offers buyers around the globe 24-hour customer service, with local time zone and language support. Shoppers can chat, phone, or email the customer service team to receive fast answers to their questions about orders, quotes, or billing inquiries. Verical takes the hassle out of buying for the consumer, and it takes the hassle out of customer service for the distributor.

Building the right e-commerce strategy for your business


If you have the resources to invest in a website where shoppers can securely buy electronic components, it may be well worth your while. But businesses also may choose to sell their parts through Verical's online marketplace — either instead of or in addition to selling on their own websites. This can be a highly effective strategy for connecting with electronic parts buyers.

Verical is the world’s largest and fastest growing electronic components marketplace. Millions of buyers choose to shop at Verical.com because of the selection, competitive pricing, and guaranteed authenticity of parts. Selling on Verical’s marketplace puts distributors in front of these millions of shoppers and associates their business with the trusted Verical community. It may be the e-commerce strategy your business needs to grow its customer base and increase sales.
