Here are a few ways you can gain new customers and increase order volumes using Upstock...

Upgrade to our Logistics plan

Our paid plans include social and email campaigns, as well as a featured listing in the wholesaler directory. You will be promoted with a Supplier Spotlight post and story on Upstock's Instagram and Facebook pages, and we also send out a Supplier Spotlight email newsletter - this goes out to the whole of Upstock's buyer network so is great for promoting your brand.

Create a wholesaler page

A wholesaler page showcases your brand and products to the buyers on Upstock. Suppliers usually see an increase in new customers after adding their brand. It's quick to get set up and free!

Share your wholesaler page

Your wholesaler page makes it easy for new customers to start ordering from you, so it's a good idea to start sharing it everywhere you do business. Check out our guide for how and where to share.

Add your wholesaler page to your website

Adding your wholesaler page to your own website is a great way to let buyers know you're available on Upstock, and don't forget to post about it on your socials!

Keep your business profile current

Keeping your business profile up to date is very important, as the content from here updates your wholesaler page. This page is visible in the app directory and on the Upstock website marketplace, so you want it to be a good representation of your brand, with up-to-date images, categories and descriptions.

Tip: For increased search hits, we also recommend including any important keywords in your description - any words you think a customer might search to discover your brand or products.

Offer free samples

Our customers find that offering free samples is a great way to reach new buyers and acquire new customers. New customers request free samples from you directly and it's up to you who you send them to. This is a paid add-on of $10 a month.

Post to your newsfeed

You can use your newsfeed to promote specials, offers, product updates, news and more. Itโ€™s a great way to gain new customers and engage with your existing customers.

Get a QR code invite

Customers can scan your unique QR code to connect and start ordering. If you visit customers, it's helpful to have this ready on your phone.

To get a QR code, scroll to the bottom of your wholesaler page on our website, and click the 'View QR code' button โ€“ you can show this to customers in person to give them a link to easily sign up with you.
