“(brand-catalog hero — "discover unique brands" without financial-terms differentiation)”

Leading with "discover unique brands for your store" is what every wholesale marketplace says. The financial advantage — order now, pay in 60 days — is the reason an independent retailer chooses a marketplace over ordering direct. Hiding it below the fold means the strongest conversion argument is invisible to visitors who bounce from the hero.

“Order today, pay in 60 days. Discover 5,000+ European brands with low minimums and net-60 terms — stock your shelves without straining your cash flow.”

“(retailer count cited without store-type context or success story)”

A "30,000+ retailers" badge tells the visitor the platform is used but not by whom. An independent bookshop owner does not know if those 30,000 retailers include shops like theirs or mostly large chains. Without segment context, the social proof is volume without relevance.

“Segment the proof: "30,000+ independent retailers across 23 European countries — from boutique gift shops to specialty food stores. See shops like yours."”

“(retailer signup requiring business documentation before catalog access)”

Requiring business registration documents before showing the catalog creates a high-friction gate at the moment of lowest commitment. Retailers want to see if the brands and prices are worth the signup effort before submitting paperwork.

“Open the catalog for browsing without signup. Gate pricing and ordering behind a lightweight registration (email + business name). Request full documentation only at first order.”
