D2C or Direct-To-Consumer is a form of business setup, wherein a company produces a particular product in its own facility, and then distribute it via its own channels, ranging from social media to retail stores.

Companies adopting the Direct to Consumer business model, not only manufacture, but also market, ship and sell their offerings without the interplay of middlemen such as wholesalers, distributors, and retail stores. Thus, in a D2C model, middlemen are literally cut off.

Now that you know what a D2C model is, you must be wondering why big names are now moving towards the D2C way. Well, firstly because of bettering monitoring over the brand image as well as the offerings. Since in a conventional business set-up, companies aren’t able to monitor their brand image and products once they hit the market, the D2C model bridges this gap and lets the company know how well their brand is actually received, helping them see through the post-purchase evaluations.

Secondly, a D2C set-up can help big companies reach their consumers in a faster and more transparent as well efficient manner. Moreover, a D2C setup can also help the company bring in new and experimental products directly to the consumers in small quantities, which can later be adopted by the company based on the response.

Last but surely not least, a D2C model helps build the brand image and trust, since the consumer can directly know what the company offers and for how much. No hidden costs and commissions.
