, a 112-year old company, specializes in office products and maintains a strong presence across multiple ecommerce marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. The team has always been committed to providing the best customer service and continually seeks opportunities to grow its reach.泭泭

Target Plus, an exclusive, invite-only marketplace, offered Monroe Systems the chance to diversify and connect with Targets loyal, high-intent shopper base. Weve been trying for years to get on the Target Plus platform, said , Marketing Manager at Monroe Systems. Target Plus has been on our radar for a long time, and joining it is a huge opportunity for us. Its really all thanks to 窪蹋勛圖厙 that were now able to sell on Target.

Why Target Plus was a game-changer for Monroe Systems泭

For Monroe Systems, Target Plus wasnt just another marketplace, it was the perfect fit. Targets loyal and high-intent shoppers, combined with its curated and gated platform, made it a no-brainer.

Target Plus offers a level of exclusivity that really appealed to us, said Jonathon. Unlike Amazon, where multiple sellers compete on the same listing, Target Plus allows just one seller per product, which is a huge benefit for us. It keeps us from racing to the bottom on profit margins.

Beyond SKU exclusivity, Target Plus also provided Monroe Systems with a trusted and curated marketplace environment. Were always looking to expand our reach on online marketplaces, Jonathon said. Targets reputation as a trusted retailer with carefully curated listings matches our brand perfectly. It was exactly what we were looking for.

The challenges of expanding to Target Plus

Monroe Systems was already using 窪蹋勛圖厙 to manage multichannel operations, so expanding to Target Plus was a natural next step. But the move came with challenges, including maintaining product data consistency across platforms and navigating listing requirements while operating with a lean team of just 10 employees.

One of the hardest parts of joining a new marketplace is ensuring our partner brands arent already listed there, said Jonathon Gregull, Marketing Manager at Monroe Systems. Claiming that space before competitors was crucial. On top of that, we needed to keep product data consistent across Amazon, eBay, and our website to ensure a seamless customer experience.

With limited bandwidth, Monroe Systems needed a solution to streamline onboarding without overburdening their team. It was clear we needed a tool to help us manage everything efficiently, Jonathon said.

I already knew the process would be streamlined on 窪蹋勛圖厙, Jonathon said. However, the Target Plus onboarding in particular was super easy. Through 欽梗紳喧硃勳梭s Listing Prep and Listing Status tools, we were able to determine exactly what needed to be added to our listings to upload them properly to Target Plus.

Jonathon really appreciated having 欽梗紳喧硃勳梭s hands-on support every step of the way. The individual one-on-one weekly meetings were a huge help, he said. The 窪蹋勛圖厙 team was especially helpful during the onboarding process. They helped keep us on track and ensured a timely and smooth launch.

The Listing Status feature was perfect. It outlined what needed to be added and even let us export an Excel sheet of valid values for any missing product attributes, Jonathon said.
