What is RangeMe Verified™ ?

RangeMe Verified™  is a Premium feature that we created in partnership with leading retailers. The RangeMe Verification process confirms that your brand(s) and product(s) meet certain standards and requirements that RangeMe’s retail partners look for before doing business. RangeMe Verified™ brands will appear at the top of search results for buyers above all other unverified brands. There will also be a special badge to indicate to buyers that the brand meets requirements ready for retail stores.

Why should I get my brand RangeMe Verified™?

Discovering products is often the beginning of the process for when buyers are looking to bring in new products into stores. Retailers have a lengthy onboarding process and it’s important for buyers to know that a potential new supplier is ready for retail.

To help quality suppliers stand out, and to help buyers source products with confidence, RangeMe verifies brands that meet business-ready requirements which are criteria that have been determined by our retailer partners, such as proof of insurance and barcodes.

There are many benefits of being RangeMe Verified™, such as:

• Being verified proactively shows buyers you are ready for retail.
• Verified brands get up to 7x more views than unverified brands by appearing at the top of buyer search results above all other unverified brands.
• Your brand and products receive a verified badge which can be easily identified when buyers filter for “RangeMe Verified Only.”
