What are Category Review Alerts?

Staying up to date with every retailer’s category review schedule, let alone knowing when a retailer is reviewing a specific category, can be a challenging task. RangeMe helps Premium suppliers tackle this challenge by sending a monthly alert, called a Category Review Alert, notifying you of upcoming retailer review periods. This alert is sent every first Tuesday of the month. Continue reading to learn the who, what, where, when, and why of the premium Category Review Alert offering.

Who

All suppliers who upgrade to RangeMe Premium will receive an email alert of upcoming category reviews from a handful of our retail partners. 

Keep in mind that not all retailers use category reviews to evaluate and bring on new products. Some retailers review on an ongoing basis while other retailers may review a category once or twice a year. To read more about this click here.

What

A Category Review Alert is an email we send out to keep you in the loop of upcoming review periods. You may see alerts for categories that are inapplicable to you. That just means your category is not up for review yet by those retailers. 

Note: Unfortunately, these reviews cannot be separated/have individual notifications per category at this time. Each retailer has its own unique way of describing the category within their internal communications, and it may not always line up with how RangeMe names its categories. 

Where

These alerts will be sent via email. If you’ve unsubscribed from our mailing list in the past, let us know at premium@rangeme.com so we can re-subscribe you.

When

We will strive to send out alerts of upcoming category reviews that are 1-2 months out so you have ample time to prepare. This alert is sent once a month, on the first Tuesday of each month. 

Why

To stay competitive and in-the-know of how retailers review products, it’s important to keep your RangeMe profile and product listings up to date. The months leading up to a category review period are when buyers are most active. Don’t let a buyer pass up your product just because they may be reviewing a different category!
