New School Retailers Selling on Sears

Sell on Sears, Fulfilled by Sears and Local Marketplace are three recently launched Sears e-commerce services aimed to help businesses of all sizes grow their business.

This new suite of solutions serves as the B2B arm for Sears and can be leveraged with a single registration.

Sell on Sears – Merchants can list their products on Sears.com and make them available for customers on the popular website, which empowers retailers to grow their customer base and their sales. Additionally, sellers can benefit from Sears Holding Corporation’s fast-growing Shop Your Way Rewards loyalty program. This means, buyers will be incentivized to purchase products without any additional cost to sellers. It is important to note that the points cannot be redeemed for Sell on Sears products.

Fulfilled by Sears – With this service, sellers can ship Sears their inventory, and Sears will store it for them. Once a product sells, Sears will pick, pack and ship it. There is no limit on the number of items a merchant needs to offer. The top two benefits of this service are time management and efficiency. For example, if a seller uses Sears’s fulfillment services, they don’t have to worry about renting or buying a warehouse, staffing it, heating it, etc.

Local Marketplace – Using Sears’s fulfillment group, a stereo seller in Chicago, for example, can offer in-store, same-day pickup. There is also a home-delivery option.

Merchants in the New York City, Washington D.C., Boston and Chicago areas will have an opportunity to sell products through Sears.com’s Local Marketplace, the retailer has announced. Partners in the program will have the ability to offer customers same-day or next-day pickup on items ordered from their own storefront locations, Sears or K-mart locations, or even through home delivery.

Sears has added a new tab to its Web page that gives shoppers quick access to information on products that are available for local delivery or pick-up. The tab lets visitors classify the urgency of the products they’re looking for with “Now”, “Later today”, “Tomorrow” or “Anytime” designations, and then directs the shoppers to enter their zip codes to find out which of those items are available locally. Consumers can already find food and groceries, beauty products, baby and kids items and pet supplies in the Local Marketplace, and Sears anticipates adding more categories in the future.

Sears is adding all new retailers in its traditional marketplace to the local program. Those new retailers must only designate verifiable pick-up locations and provide accurate product inventory data before Sears adds those products to the Local Marketplace.
