We are not going to renew our premium subscription; main reason is we have nearly 400 snacks and the process to upload all of them is unknown!

Thank you for sharing your experience with RangeMe. We’re sorry to hear that your expectations didn't align with the value delivered.
It’s important to note that RangeMe offers multiple subscription levels, including a Free option, allowing businesses to gain exposure to buyers without any cost. Our Premium services are designed to provide additional benefits and tools, but they are not mandatory.
When comparing the costs associated with a RangeMe subscription to the expenses of traveling to various retail headquarters or trade shows, including travel, accommodations, and time away from your business, RangeMe offers a more cost-effective solution for getting your products in front of potential buyers.
Our platform was designed to offer a space where your brand can be consistently visible to a wide range of buyers, who can discover and engage with your products at their convenience.

Thank you for sharing your experience with RangeMe. We’re sorry to hear that you didn't achieve the results you were hoping for - but it’s important to clarify that RangeMe is designed to provide a platform for continuous brand exposure and a straightforward way to submit to relevant buyer campaigns. We are not a replacement for a sales team, nor do we directly promote your products. Instead, RangeMe offers a space where your brand can be consistently visible to a wide range of buyers, who can discover and engage with your products at their convenience.
No leads
No leads, Nobody to help in the process to gain leads or close a deal, very poor support, not too happy with results for over two years and not a $100 sales with a $3k investment!!
Unsure if I will continue next year with your organization. Will seek other options if needed. Because of the results obtained with RangeMe I am not interested in ECRM meetings or offers.

ECRM Sessions, on the other hand, are structured differently. ECRM focuses on facilitating guaranteed face-to-face meetings with regional and national retailers. These sessions include dedicated Customer Success Managers (CSMs) who help prepare you for your meetings and ensure you understand the objectives of each buyer. The pricing structure for ECRM reflects this hands-on approach and the direct engagement it facilitates.
While RangeMe provides an online platform for ongoing visibility, ECRM is designed for those looking for targeted, in-person meetings with buyers. Both serve unique purposes within the product discovery and sales process.
Just another "get in front of retailers!" company
I don't believe businesses should be hamstrung into paying premium fees just to get in front of retailers. In a very low margin and often low to no capital world, CPG businesses are taken advantage of by companies like RangeMe looking to bleed just a little more cash out of them. The vast majority of people who have paid for premium have said its a bad investment - trust them.

We understand the challenges of operating in the CPG industry, especially with tight margins and limited capital. However, when comparing the costs associated with a RangeMe subscription to the expenses of traveling to various retail headquarters, including travel, accommodations, and time away from your business, RangeMe offers a more cost-effective solution for getting your products in front of potential buyers.
We continuously strive to provide value and support to all our users, regardless of their subscription level. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve our services and better meet the needs of the CPG community.
I have not seen many results yet
I have not seen many results yet. This is year three of paying as a certified brand. Wish I could see some real results by being a part of this platform. I have submitted my brand to hundreds of companies over the last 3 years.

We appreciate your feedback and understand your desire to see more results from the platform, we'd suggest submitting your brand to buyer campaigns that align with your products - this allows you to expose your brand to buyers when they are actively looking for new and innovative products.

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.

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. We appreciate you highlighting the positive aspects of our service, including the ease of uploading items and the helpfulness of our team.
We understand your suggestion regarding the ability to submit multiple brands to a vendor. We value your feedback and will consider it as we continue to improve our platform.
Premiums waste of money for small companies that make common 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.

No return on investment - will find other sales channels to invest
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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with RangeMe and the ECRM programs. We’re sorry to hear that your efforts have not resulted in a positive ROI.

We do not replace your sales team, nor do we directly promote your products. Instead, we offer a space for your brand to be visible to a wide range of buyers who can discover and engage with your products at their convenience.
We understand the frustration of not receiving feedback after sending samples and the challenges faced with the additional costs of programs like ECRM. Building connections and receiving responses can sometimes take time, and we are actively working to improve the effectiveness and transparency of these interactions.
Your feedback about the cost and lack of follow-up from the Sysco meeting is crucial. We are committed to enhancing our services to ensure better support and value for our users, especially for new brands working with limited budgets.
