A quick buyer overview for our Virtual Pitches
What is a Virtual Pitch?
Our main virtual pitch is our Lightning Pitch. This is where you can see up to 8 brands present their products all with a 7-minute time slot. Over the last year, our Virtual Events have been a great way for buyers to see innovative products presented by challenger brands in quick video sessions. You as a buyer are able to ask questions and take one-click next actions, such as requesting samples and providing feedback.
How do I book on?
Now that you've found an event that is perfect for your Buyer Category, you can join this easily by selecting Virtual Events on the left hand of your dashboard. Once here, select Attend Event under the one you'd like to join us at!
You will be brought through on to the next page where you will find your confirmation.
What happens after I book?
The week prior to the Virtual Pitch, you will receive an email from our Events team as reminder of the event taking place.
How does the Virtual Event work?
Once the event has started, all buyers who have requested to attend will be brought into a virtual room. On your screen, you will see the supplier pitching, and all their brand information to the right-hand side.
If you would like further information on a product, all you need to do is select the one you wish more information on and it will bring up a product description, as well as the unit cost, RRP, GM and VAT rate.
Whilst on the event, once a supplier has finished their 7min presentation, you will be prompted to request a sample or if the item is not for you there will be an option to let the supplier know. This means they will not be able to contact you.
Once the event is complete, you will have a summary provided of all the sample requests and shortlisted products throughout the pitch. You will be given the option to request more samples, or find similar products to the ones you have already chosen.
What's next?
At the end of each pitch the suppliers can reach out directly if you have not requested a sample or sent any further communication.
This will be found via your messages, we do ask if you could respond to the supplier and let them know your next steps with their product.
