DTC, or direct-to-consumer, refers to a business model where a company sells its products or services directly to consumers, bypassing traditional retail channels.
In a DTC model, the company typically controls the entire customer journey, from product development and manufacturing to marketing, sales, and customer service. This allows the company to have greater control over the customer experience and to build a stronger brand connection with its customers.
DTC companies often leverage digital channels, such as e-commerce websites, social media, and email marketing, to reach and engage with customers directly.
DTC has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly in industries such as fashion, beauty, and home goods, as technology has made it easier and more cost-effective to establish and grow a direct-to-consumer brand.
ERP stands for "Enterprise Resource Planning". It is a type of software system that allows businesses to manage and integrate their core business processes, such as accounting, procurement, inventory management, human resources, customer relationship management, and more.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) represents the total funds a consumer spends at a business for products and services without any specific time measurements restricting the data.
Brick and mortar refers to a physical retail store or business location, as opposed to an online or virtual presence.
