Moving new boots brand customers from marketplaces to your site
To grow your new boots brand, you must pull customers off marketplaces and into your own store. You need them to recognize your brand, not just the marketplace. Use a managed content network to distribute your brand videos widely, creating an independent identity that drives customers to your site. This keeps you in control of the transaction and helps you build a loyal audience.

Boots brand, launch stage: moving buyers from marketplaces to the own store.
The challenge of marketplace anonymity
When customers buy on a marketplace, they often see the marketplace, not your brand. To change this, you need to build a brand identity that stands on its own. This starts with visibility outside of the marketplace. If you only exist on marketplaces, you are invisible to the rest of the web. By using a managed content network to show your brand in the social feeds where your customers actually hang out, you create an independent image that makes them want to seek you out on your own site.
Driving traffic with a network
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This reach is essential for a new brand. It creates a constant stream of visibility that builds your reputation and drives traffic to your site, making your brand more than just another listing on a crowded marketplace.
What content wins the shift?
Send TIDE videos that emphasize your brand story and product features. Do not just show the product; show the people behind it and why you started the brand. This personal touch builds a connection that marketplaces cannot replicate. Since you are in the launch stage, use raw, authentic content that shows your passion. These are the kinds of videos that make customers want to buy from you directly, as they feel like they are supporting a real brand, not a generic item.
Starting the move
To start, include a clear reason for customers to buy on your site, like an exclusive offer or a better buying experience. Provide this information along with your best videos to your provider. Monitor the traffic to your site and the growth of your customer base. This is the first step toward true brand independence. By building this direct relationship now, you are setting the stage for a long-term, successful business that does not depend on the marketplace for survival.
