Onboarding: Brand Deliverables
What do we need to get started?
We need three documents for a successful launch.
Authorized Dealer List
The spreadsheet should have:
- Store Name
- Address
- City
- State/Territory
- Zip
- Country (Two letter code)
- Public-facing Phone (Our system will add dialing codes, so please provide the local number. For most non-North American phone numbers, it is the phone number that starts with 0 (and not +XX without the 0)
- (Optional but recommended) Your internal vendor/account ID, if you use those to cross-reference
- (Optional) Store's Website URL
- (Optional) Categories. If you have multiple categories, please separate them with commas. Categories are case-sensitive and cannot contain spaces or special characters. Please review Dealer List Category Visualizations to see all your category optio
o keep your catalog items up to date. Some common feed providers are Feedonomics, ChannelAdvisor, GoDataFeed, Salsify, and Shopify Apps.
We can sync to:
- a URL (usually an XML file)
- a file exported daily to an SFTP we provide
- a file exported daily to your own SFTP with user and password
Product Feed Required Fields:
- UPC/EAN
- Product Name
- Style Number/Grouping ID/MPN
- Taxonomy/Category (for example, Shoes > Running > Trail)
- Color
- Size
- Variables besides size and color
- Gender
- MSRP
- Image URL
- Short Description
- Brand (if your feed includes other brands you sell outside of your brand, so we can filter)
For each language/currency, we need an additional file. If you do not have a feed provider, consider using our partner GoDataFeed Partnership for a special rate.
If you are unable to provide a feed, please send the brand's retailer order form spreadsheet with the above items.
Key Account List & Introductions
We need a list of key retailer accounts to prioritize for activation. There is no required format. Most clients provide a notation on their authorized dealer list.
For the best outcome, please provide Locally with direct introductions to your Key Accounts.
- Identify the right contact(s) at the brand who will be making the introductions
- Introduce the retailer to your Client Success Manager
