Why & how should I get RangeMe Verified?

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.

To help quality suppliers stand out, and to help buyers source products with confidence, RangeMe verifies brands that meet business-ready requirements which are criterias 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 considered 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.”
