As more and more businesses turn to the digital arena to buy and sell goods, the B2B and wholesale eCommerce market has been growing by leaps and bounds.
Gone are the days of dusty catalogs, phone and snail-mail quotes, as more and more companies are turning to the world of online sales to reach their customers and drive revenue.
From big, bulky products to delicate, high-tech gadgets, there’s something for every business to sell and buy.
So grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your thing), sit back, and let’s explore the latest and greatest in B2B and wholesale eCommerce revenue trends.
An enriched product catalog for a B2B or wholesale eCommerce platform can increase revenue by providing potential buyers with detailed product information, including images, descriptions, and specifications. This can help improve customers’ buying experience and make it easier for them to find the products they need. Overall, an enriched product catalog can include features such as bulk ordering, custom pricing, and inventory management, making it more attractive to wholesale buyers.
Natural language processing (NLP) can enhance search functionality in B2B and wholesale eCommerce platforms. NLP algorithms can understand and interpret the intent behind a user’s search query, allowing for more accurate and relevant results. This can lead to improved user experience, higher conversion rates, and, ultimately, increased revenue for the eCommerce platform. Additionally, NLP can also be used to enhance product categorization and tagging, making it easier for wholesale buyers to find the products they need.
AI-powered merchandising can increase B2B/wholesale eCommerce revenue by utilizing data and machine learning algorithms to optimize product recommendations, pricing, and inventory management. By analyzing customer behavior, purchase history, and market trends, AI-powered merchandising systems can make personalized product recommendations to customers, adjust pricing in real time, and ensure that inventory is optimized to meet demand. These systems can also identify cross-selling and upselling opportunities, helping increase revenue.
Product recommendations powered by search algorithms can be a powerful tool for increasing B2B and wholesale eCommerce revenue. These recommendations can be tailored to each individual customer based on their browsing and purchase history, as well as their search queries, to suggest products that are highly relevant to their needs. By analyzing data on which products are frequently purchased together or are often searched for in conjunction with other products, retailers can make cross-selling and upselling recommendations to customers, further increasing revenue.
Curating content and implementing on-site search can help increase B2B/wholesale eCommerce revenue by making it easier for customers to find the products they need and providing them with relevant information to make informed purchasing decisions. Curated content can include product descriptions, images, and videos, as well as customer reviews and testimonials. On-site search can consist of features such as autocomplete, spell check, and filtering options to help customers quickly and easily find the products they’re looking for. Having a search bar on every website page can help customers easily navigate the site and find what they need.
Implementing smart filtering and faceted search options on a B2B or wholesale eCommerce website can help increase revenue by making it easier for customers to find the products they seek. Smart filtering allows customers to narrow down their search results based on specific criteria, such as price, brand, or color. Faceted search allows customers to further refine their search results by multiple attributes, such as size and material. This can lead to a more efficient and targeted search experience for customers, which can, in turn, lead to higher conversion rates and increased revenue for the eCommerce website.
Give your wholesale customers their own portal where they can log in and view pricing, place orders, and track shipments.
Encourage larger orders by offering volume discounts to your wholesale customers.
Make it easy for your customers to place orders by offering online ordering, phone orders, and EDI integration.
Provide excellent customer service by assigning a dedicated account manager to each of your wholesale customers.

Use data analysis to identify new opportunities for sales and revenue growth and make decisions accordingly.
Use digital marketing and SEO to attract more wholesale customers to your eCommerce store.
Create a loyalty program to reward your repeat wholesale customers and encourage them to continue doing business with you.
Continuously optimize your eCommerce store by testing and implementing new features and gathering customer feedback to improve the user experience.
eCommerce revenue trends in the B2B/wholesale world are like a rollercoaster ride – exciting, dynamic, and always on the move.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
