1. What is the vision behind the Aisles?
To create the next generation of eCommerce by creating a new channel of distribution partnering the Brand with the Retailer/e-Tailer to reach the customers that are loyal to the local Retailer and e-Tailer

2. What is Unique about the Aisles?
The Brands are partnering with and not competing with the Retail Stores in the Consumer eCommerce space (B2C). Brands can partner with thousands of eCommerce Stores (more doors) and Retailers get a first class eCommerce site that they can electronically select product that fits their consumer niche from hundreds of vendors. The product/s are already imaged, priced and eStore owners do NOT pay, or inventory sold in their eStore. The Aisles provides a turn-key eStore, managing all of the eCommerce complexities, order processing and financial splits.

3. I have my own eCom Site and also an eBay store - Why the Aisles?
More Doors mean more sales. You have made an investment in imaging product for eCommerce and you have TWO doors. With the Aisles you can leverage your eCommerce investment by loading the 20% of your best eCom sellers In-Network on the Aisles, promote and be selected by the Aisles eStore owners and potentially sell through hundreds of eStore's to their unique customer segments.

No. The Aisles eStore is a top of the line eCommerce eStore they you brand (or we do it for you). Your branded eStore has a URL and can be linked to your website.

They can do both, but the preference is to have them come directly to your eStore. It should be linked to your website..

This validation and request is made via the Aisles Trade Only Marketplace.

9. What is a Company e-Store?
Brands can enter products In-Network and create a "master" e-Store. Retailers and e-Tailers can "clone" the Brand Company e-Store and sell from it earning selling partner revenue splits.
