Your trade program is worth 2–3x more than you're charging for it.
Conqrse Trade turns your existing brand partner programs into a structured, measurable media product — no screens, no hardware, no rip-and-replace. Your buyers keep selling the way they sell. They just get better tools.
Sound familiar?
The Spreadsheet Spiral
Your trade program lives in spreadsheets, email threads, and someone's memory. Every buyer negotiates different rates. Every store gets different placements.
The Proof Problem
A brand partner asks: 'What did we actually get for that $200K?' Your best answer is a PDF summary and a phone call. Brands want dashboards, not calls.
The Pricing Gap
You know you're undercharging. Retailers with structured trade programs collect 2–3x higher rates. The difference isn't negotiation skill — it's measurement.
The False Start
You've looked into media networks. They want hardware and 6-month rollouts. Conqrse Trade is a SaaS signup — no capex, no infrastructure, live in 30 days.
“Every multi-location retailer with brand partners is sitting on this problem. The ones who fix it first capture the budgets.”
