Home, garden and leisure retailer The Range is working to make shopping online “easier than ever before” with its new iOS and Android mobile app.
Over 100,000 products across homeware, hobbies, pets and crafts will be available. Customers can filter by department, find their local store, view the latest offers and check the status of their orders.
Since opening its first store in 1989, The Range has gone onto introduce a D2C offering in 2016 and launched it marketplace for third-party brands in 2020.
Rebecca Haynes, marketplace manager at The Range, recently spoke to ChannelX World. She noted: “Since launching the Marketplace service back in 2020, we’ve served millions of customers. As a well-established UK retailer with a recognisable brand, marketplace partners benefit from The Range’s huge online presence and loyal customer base.
“By joining our 1,100 marketplace partners, you can list your products on our well-established website, which holds a significant market share across various categories. We offer a simple, category-based percentage model with competitive commission fees or a unique cost-based model. The commission is the difference between your regular sell price and the retail price we set. But most importantly – No sale, no fee!”
Currently, The Range’s marketplace offering focuses on its core categories: furniture (indoor and outdoor), DIY, garden, toys, pets, and home décor. However, Haynes stressed the retailer could be open to expanding this to areas such as electricals, tech, gaming, white goods, children’s products, and sports equipment.
