What are Category Review Alerts?

Staying abreast of 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. 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.

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. 

Where

These alerts will be sent via email. If you’ve unsubscribed from our mailing list in the past, let us know 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 one time 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 is when buyers are most active. Don’t let a buyer pass up your product because of outdated information!
