Adapt quickly and continue your sell-in event this season
The current COVID-19 crisis is changing the way our industry operates. In the short term, attending conferences and trade shows isn't a viable method of connecting with buyers, so brands need to find new ways to host compelling sell-in events. And since sell-in is the start of the season, it’s incredibly important to the industry as a whole that it continues to happen. This means every brand needs to start planning out how they will adapt to this new reality.
While the world post COVID-19 will undoubtedly be different, retail will still be an important channel. Hopefully, in the near future our industry will return to that in-person community we all hold dear, with face to face meetings and handshakes. In the meantime, sell-in is an essential process that must continue, and for that to happen it needs to become a more digital or "virtual" experience.The Seasonal Journey
Think of sell-in as a series of steps. Each step requires collaboration, and ideally takes place in a single digital destination, your brands digital showroom. This serves to keep things uniform and simple across all the retail partners you work with. The initial steps of sell-in are often handled in person at a brand conference or trade show. Under today’s circumstances however, brands need to find ways to cover them more virtually.
