“The power to deliver an endless aisle of products to shoppers without the need for thousands of square feet of retail space is a gamechanger for everybody.” - Forbes

One of the ways online retail giants like Amazon and Wayfair draw customers in is by offering an almost limitless selection -  and if it works for them, it can work for you!

The concept of the “endless aisle” is a fairly simple one. Utilizing suppliers and drop-shipping, retailers can offer a huge selection of items on their website and sell these items to their customers, without needing to warehouse the products themselves.

Since the modern consumer begins their purchase process with online research, offering an endless aisle on your website increases the chance that you’ll show up at the beginning of their buying journey. Once people know you provide this kind of shopping experience, they’ll be back for more! Implemented in the right way, offering an endless aisle can lead to increased sales opportunities, traffic to your store and website and higher customer satisfaction.

However, adding hundreds (or thousands) of new items to your website is no small feat. Obtaining up-to-date product data spreadsheets, then organizing, saving, and editing that data for upload to your eCommerce platform takes hours and hours, and it’s work that is never truly complete.
