E-Commerce and Online Marketing in the Electronics Distribution Industry

OEMsecrets.com are proud to work with the majority of the industry's largest electronics distributors. Most franchised distributors have adapted their sales strategies to embrace the online revolution. However, there are a large percentage of the industry's distributors who are failing to optimise their online listings. Reasons such as 'too many background movements' and 'listings are too complicated to set up' are factors that the some of the industry's UK distributors have specified when questioned about selling and advertising their inventory online. 

Surely this should be at the forefront of all marketing strategies? It could be said that the industry is way behind other sectors in terms of e-commerce sites. Our some of the Marketing bosses in the electronics industry set in their ways with their strategies, such with utilising paper catalogues rather than selling their inventory online? 

Surely this has to change...e-commerce is not the future of electronic component distribution, its the present, if not the past.

Electronic Component Procurement Made Easy

OEMsecrets.com spells the end of "Dead End Sourcing"

      

All buyers have done it, they search for a part number on a component sourcing website and no results show, it's a dead end. In fact, many buyers will turn to Google, looking for scraps of information and sources, which can be contaminated from the counterfeit route. OEMsecrets.com have created an additional service when the dreaded "No Results Found" message appears, there is now a further option.

OEMsecrets.com have been working in partnership with a number of authorised distributors over the last few years, who offer a wider database of sourcing capabilities. Each distributor has a unique line card. The OEMsecrets.com team will match any enquiry up with a supplier that specialises in sourcing that particular manufacturer. With a simple 6 box form and the click of a button you can be contacted with a quote by an approved supplier from OEMsecrets. This is typical of a forward thinking website that is owned and run by individuals that have had decades of sourcing electronic components themselves and know the pit falls and frustrations of a parts search engine returning zero results.

To cater for all obsolete and hard to find component requirements from electronics buyers, OEMsecrets.com have also split screened the search results page to incorporate both franchised and independent distributors. Independent distributors can now list their in-stock inventory on the website. Electronics buyers can be assured that all inventory listed from independent distributors is in-stock only as regular quality checks are carried out to monitor and control this process. OEMsecrets.com is also working in concert with the Distributors Advisory Group (DAG) to combat counterfeit components in the industry. For more information please contact Christina.clark@ecccorp.org.

Buyers and engineers alike now expect this level of security and protection with online services. The emergence of OEMsecrets.com's price comparison feature is equipped to cater for their every need.
