E-commerce: exclusivity attracts more clients


One marketing strategy that help e-commerce retailers attract more clients is the ‘power of exclusivity’. When consumers hear that a product is limited edition or an event is on ‘exclusive invite only’, they are more interested in the item. As such, this labelling technique creates a sense of urgency for shoppers to act and it brings more attention to the product/service on offer or the brand.

One firm that has become the flagship standard for the power and influence of exclusive branding is Supreme. Parents are constantly lining up at stores around the country to buy limited-edition Supreme apparel for their children. These are often priced at exorbitantly high rates. The success of this company has sparked deep interest and an entire ecosystem of content marketing that is focussed on branding.

The Amazon FBA expert Beau Crabill advanced “Brand power is already highly impactful on consumer purchasing decisions. But the exclusivity element not only stimulates that influence but drives the entire secondary market structure for those products”. This observation is founded by the fact that secondary markets for Supreme are crazy wherein people are willing to pay exorbitant prices for these items.  This proves that smaller brands can rapidly become very successful by creating exclusivity and adopting new marketing strategies.
