D2C CONTENT HUB
In the direct-to-consumer model, the focus is on the relationship with the customer. For manufacturers, this interaction not only offers great opportunities in sales, but also enormous potential for their own company's ability to innovate.

Close contact to the customer at D2C is more than just direct sales. Building direct customer relationships is the goal. It is one of the supporting pillars in digitization - after all, well-established customer relationships open the way to a wealth of valuable data. With the help of this data, companies can in turn develop tailored solutions, optimize their own products, and leverage additional sales potential. This is why the most successful platforms are those that understand their customers' data particularly well, draw the right conclusions from this data, and translate these insights into concrete measures.

But what do consumers expect from manufacturers? What challenges do manufacturers face in building a D2C business? How established is D2C already as a sales channel? And how do you run a successful D2C business? We provide the answers in this overview.

Brand new: D2C Study 2022

Our exclusive study, conducted with our partner Statista, shows that both consumers and manufacturers have recognized the advantages of D2C. 90 percent of the consumers surveyed have already purchased directly from the manufacturer. And 84 percent of manufacturers who want to introduce or expand D2C want to increasingly use their own online store in the future.  

The results indicate that D2C is not just a trend: D2C is not just a trend, but a necessity for companies. Our experts explain in nine practical recommendations which strategic, technical, cultural, and communication considerations they should take into account in advance in order to build up a sustainable D2C business.
