On-Demand Webinar: Control Your Destiny by Going Direct to Consumer

Digital River's Uncertainty into Opportunity returns with special guests from Fortuitas, Ingram Micro, Resideo and Astound Commerce to discuss going direct to consumer with your ecommerce strategy.

Digital River Direct to Consumer strategy

Reclaim your brand’s image by marketing your store online yourself – not through a third-party marketplace

It is now more important than ever before for brands to offer their customers diverse buying options. In fact, this is one of the best ways of building brand loyalty today. But if you don’t have a direct-to-consumer (D2C) channel as part of your portfolio of buying options, you hand over the majority of the customer experience to your retail partners – and those third-party marketplaces will benefit from your products.

As Covid-19 demonstrated, a lack of control over the buyers journey can lead to damaging business disruptions. That’s why Digital River gathered a panel of leading experts to showcase how brands can take control of their destiny by going D2C and cutting out the middle man.

In this episode of the Uncertainty into Opportunity webinar series on ecommerce,  moderator Mike French is joined by Andrew Leibowitz (Astound Commerce), Jack Kurtz (Fortuitas), Lorrie Mizuko (Resideo), Rok Nicaj (Ingram Micro) and Adam Coyle (Digital River) to discuss how brands can implement a D2C strategy and retake control of their destiny.
