The buying block

The buying block

When numerous partners sell the same goods, one of the partners is showcased in the buy block. This is because the partner's offer is the most advantageous in terms of price, turnaround time, and service. The majority of sales occur in the buy block. Winning your specific buy block is essential if you want to increase your visibility on the market. A common way to always win the buying block is to establish your own brand or distinctive EANs. If you are a product's sole supplier, you will always be in a stronger position during negotiations. Reviewing your unique offer and thinking about how you might provide the most distinctive product may be helpful if you want to stand out in your buy block.
