RangeMe レビュー 188

It is fairly simple to get items uploaded for our brands and our contact at RangeMe has been very helpful every time I have ask about something. Submissions are responded to in a very timely manner.

I do wish that we were able to submit more than one brand to a vendor rather than having to do multiple submissions. I also understand the different vendors need different information but I have seen many that I have submitted to asking a bunch of basic information that is listed either in our profile or for the items.

In the one year for which we paid for premium services, we didn't receive any orders. I applied to several relevant companies and only got two responses, both of which required a $300 fee to participate. So after spending over $2,000, we didn't make any money. When I brought this up to our account manager, they simply said that it takes time. This is not a satisfactory response. I need to see how you can help me and how you can promote our products to different stores.

Not sure how anyone actually gets positive ROI from RangeMe or their ECRM programs. Very expensive for both and no sales regardless of how hard I've attempted to work with any leads. Samples sent with no feedback or responses after several attempts. ECRM charged $500 just to meet with Sysco through their diversity program, 10 minute meeting and zero follow up email opens (not even opened much less responded). Very disappointing for a new brand on a budget.

Great Exposer for Supplier's.

Seems like it should be helpful, but I have not got any type of actual lead in the 2 years of subscribing. All my resellers are from my own personal contact with them.

Not enough support for brands, too focused on retailers and events.

Great Platform

I am a cactus nursery in Florida with innovative products. I have a free profile on Rangeme but this is one big spring trap into which I'm not going to put my credit card or foot. I'm sure that purchasing agents love the convenience, screening and new degree of separation from legions of eager entrepreneurs. But to the hardworking vendor, it appears to be an exploitative commoditization engine extracting an exorbitant $300 for a chaperoned video chat with the potential buyer and no guarantee of a connection, and the $1200/year "verified" membership is insane. I much prefer an open door like my grandfather had as a salesman to this electronic commodity shelf, where one could suit up, hit the streets, pump flesh and have a real chance to persuade a buyer in person - you know....personality, enthusiasm, congeniality, expertise, actual physical samples and confidence earned. And big box stores are flocking to this while closing their doors to me.

I've talked with them, and twice I turned the table on their business model by proposing that THEY front the risk by agreeing to a commission on that big wholesale transaction I'm looking for, if they can make it happen. I never received a response. This makes me think there is more money to be made in fleecing producers in America than there is for the producer successfully selling their wares to big box stores.

I see just another small crew of what are probably Ivy league graduates trying to be the next PayPal or GigMasters by inserting themselves as middlemen to extract unjustified rents off the backs of entrepreneurs already hobbled by inflation, DEI preference and billionaires sucking all of the wealth and agency out of an economy that was far better 20 years ago.

We have been a RangeMe member for five years. In that time we have been invited to only one meeting despite completing questionnaires for 50-60 opportunities. I also spent a year as a RangeMe Premium member and during that year we were invited to zero meetings. We are also a minority owned company, African American to be specific. And although not only RangeMe but also many retailers claim to be looking for minority suppliers to purchase consumer goods from, we have not received even one lead or sale related to our NMSDC qualified status. Accordingly, I suggest that RangeMe management review its policies in order to better serve the communities it claims to serve.

They listen! They also have been super supportive in helping to classify listings correctly, best practices, and always reach out if there is a category buyer that is relevant to us as well as always responding to questions. We would not be where we are today without RangeMe. That is a fact I know for certain.

Good communication

RangeMe is where it's at! Provides me access to buyers and category review that I otherwise would not. You betta get you some honey... Muah!💋™️ Joye B. Moore

Provides great opportunities for us.

A sham. Received zero actionable leads. It's like going to a trade show but you cannot interact with attendees and they aren't wearing badges, as you're standing behind a 2 way mirror. They are annonymous. RangeMe presents 'opportunities' and stats that can never be verified - many are probably fake to gin up interest in this platform. Or the *same* business looks at your product multiple times a day for weeks but you told Mr Pillow 'no thank you' to their inquiry but they keep looking and driving up your 'stats'. It would not be difficult to claim that ABC Co or XYZ Inc looked at your products if you never have to say who it actually was, or give their contact information. Actually, business names are truncated which further makes this opaque and murky at best. Paying to be on this platform and you are blind to *any and all* contact information about business that purportedly reviewed your company or products. Utter waste of marketing money, going to yet another tech bro scam, and anyone thinking it'll be grreat - you've been warned.

The opportunities were largely inapplicable to our business as a specialty bread manufacturer.

Yes it was good to submit to different retailers. If you helped he get at least one account i would be a yearly subscriber

I joined Rangme and after approaching a few retailers for my pot pie Rangme set up a meeting with HyVee providing I give Rangeme 300.00 which I did. I did have a meeting with HyVee but it was with a buyer for frozen pizzas not Pot Pies. It was a total waste of money and me time , I tried to contact Rangeme to get a refund but there is absolutely noone to contact. To make matters worse they tried to charge me another year membership on autorenewal whIch I did not know they had me on but I was able to cancel that with my credit card company. I feel totaly ripped off for 399.00 . They are taking advantage of small startup food companies shocking huh?
