direct-to-consumer:
the potential as a viable channel

Online is a continually growing sales channel (12.4% growth in Q1 vs. just 2% for regular retail). Yet many manufacturers of branded goods have been slow to join the eCommerce party. This is not surprising given the significant shift in operating model required to sell to individual consumers compared to the B2B business model that brand manufacturers have traditionally employed.

However, consumer expectation of brands is increasing, and there is clear and growing demand from consumers to engage directly online with brands - our new Future Shopper survey confirms it. This new report examines Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) as a viable channel to help brands in their efforts to meets these expectations.
