Newegg to Launch Customer-facing Indiegogo Portal
New Product Showcase Will Exclusively Feature Indiegogo-funded Products
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Newegg—Newegg,
the leading tech-focused e-retailer in North America, is preparing to
unveil a new landing page dedicated to products funded by the Indiegogo
platform. This is the next step in its collaboration with Indiegogo to
help funded campaigns sell and deliver products as efficiently as
possible.
In June of 2016, Newegg announced it would begin supporting select
Indiegogo campaigns that successfully met their funding goals. Since
then, the company has been working with approximately 20 individual
entrepreneurs and small businesses, helping them make the leap from
funding to product delivery. Newegg provides guidance on go-to-market
strategies, shipping options and sales to help these entrepreneurs get
their products in customers’ hands quickly and efficiently.
“We like the entrepreneurial spirit of Indiegogo’s campaigners, and
we’re fortunate to play a role in their success,” said Danny Lee, CEO of
Newegg. “Crowdfunding entrepreneurs often find it challenging to build
and ship products to their customers, and we’re happy to lend our
support to help them as they build their businesses.”
“We’re excited to see Newegg help Indiegogo entrepreneurs by
accelerating the delivery of these innovative new products to eager
customers,” said Slava Rubin, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of
Indiegogo. “Newegg brings significant distribution and fulfillment
muscle to bear, enabling Indiegogo campaigners to journey from concept
to market in record time.”
Newegg’s support of the Indiegogo campaigns it selects includes social
exposure, order fulfillment, shipping and other logistical support,
including its Shipped by Newegg (SBN) program. In addition to the 20
campaigns currently supported by Newegg, more than 100 additional
Indiegogo campaigns are currently under consideration. Eleven have been
confirmed for roll-out in Q1, with many more on the way. To learn more
