Wayfair

Wayfair, one of the world’s largest home retailers, boasts a catalog of over 30 million products from 20,000+ suppliers. It’s a powerhouse in the home goods space, driving $12 billion in annual sales for brands selling furniture, appliances, décor, and more.

Competition is stiff across Wayfair’s physical and digital shelves to get attention and drive sales from its 22 million active customers. That makes representing products across the Wayfair ecosystem in the best possible light with accurate, compelling and up-to-date product information critical to getting and maintaining an edge.

Traditionally, options were limited for brands submitting product data, information, imagery and other assets to Wayfair. But a brand-new connection between Syndigo and Wayfair has opened a convenient and intuitive way to deliver vital product content to this important retail channel.

NEW!

Make your brand stand out at Wayfair.

What This Means for Wayfair and Its Suppliers

Wayfair is known for its expansive home goods catalog. With so many options available, customers rely on accurate and detailed product information to make informed purchasing decisions.

Managing the sheer volume of product content needed to sell these products poses a unique challenge for both Wayfair and its supplier community.

Syndigo’s platform is uniquely suited to address this problem and will now serve as the backbone for managing product information on Wayfair’s systems, ensuring that all product listings are accurate, consistent, and enriched with the details shoppers need to buy with confidence.

Syndigo has enhanced our online presence by allowing us to provide our customers with rich product information including detailed descriptions, images, and videos. Syndigo’s content management solutions have enabled us to ensure that our product information is accurate and up to date across all our channels.

Suppliers stand to benefit just as much:

1. Faster Go-to-Market

Suppliers will be able to streamline the process of uploading, editing, and enhancing product information with Syndigo’s advanced content management tools. This efficiency reduces manual work, accelerates time-to-market, and minimizes errors — crucial advantages in a fast-paced retail environment where rapid market entry can significantly impact sales and seasonal styles and shifting trends require constant inventory rotation.

2. Improved Product Content Accuracy and Quality

Suppliers can ensure their product information remains accurate, up-to-date, and optimized according to Wayfair’s unique requirements by uploading it via Syndigo’s platform. Avoiding common issues such as mismatched images or incomplete descriptions enhances the overall customer experience, leading to greater satisfaction and potentially fewer returns.

3. Enhanced Visibility and Discoverability

With Syndigo’s support, suppliers’ products are poised to perform better on Wayfair’s search algorithms. Optimized content, enriched images, and detailed specifications increase product visibility in relevant searches, resulting in more clicks, conversions, and ultimately, higher sales.

4. Access to Rich Media

Syndigo’s platform extends beyond basic descriptions, enabling suppliers to incorporate rich media content such as 360-degree images, videos, and enhanced buying guides into their product pages at Wayfair.com. These features present products in a more engaging manner, offering shoppers an interactive and informative experience.
