E-Commerce Storefront Management (ESM)
Our e-commerce storefront management (ESM) program is designed for manufacturers, suppliers, retail store owners, or any established business with the capability of shipping their products that doesn't want to develop and maintain a website.
For businesses that qualify, Primordium will create a brand and domain name(s) and develop an online store centered around your products. We'll build the site, host it, maintain it, market it, and handle the credit card processing and pre-shipment customer service at our expense. Your job is to pack and ship the orders, which we'll supply to you as a daily feed or in a variety of importable formats. With this arrangement, you're dealing directly with us and not the end-user: we collect the money from the customer and pay you directly.
This is a partnership opportunity available to select businesses who meet our qualifications. Each ESM request is reviewed on a case by case basis, so simply meeting the minimum criteria does not necessarily mean your products will fit our business model or desired market sectors. Our minimum requirements for consideration are below.
- Your business must be at least five years old.
- You must have the ability to pack and ship your products and track orders.
- You must own your inventory - we are only accepting applications from businesses who have physical inventory available ready to ship, not drop-shipped from the manufacturer.
- Your products must be of reasonable size and weight and do not require freight charges.
- Your products cannot be alcoholic beverages, firearms, adult-oriented products, or any product that cannot legally be shipped to all 50 U.S. states.
Since Primordium will be making a substantial investment in building a brand based entirely on your ability to fulfill the orders, we are interested only in long-term partnerships with established, profitable suppliers. We may also require a credit check.
If your business fits this model and you would like to talk to us, fill out our ESM application and a representative will contact you.
