Happy Prime Day to all the hard-working Amazon Sellers out there. We've loved playing a part in getting your stores prepared for this huge couple of days 💪 And with that, there's no better time to drop a reminder that BFCM is drawing closer (136 days to be precise). While it might be too late for Prime Day, it's not too late to apply for Wayflyer financing in time for DTC's busiest time of the year. Make sure you've got the inventory you need to fully capture the heightened demand that BFCM brings! https://lnkd.in/ecTCieFa

It's fair to say that the switch over to GA4 was not met with total enthusiasm by the eCommerce community! But did you know that Google will now delete your legacy Google Analytics data (pre-GA4) on July 1st? We understand that many brands still find this data valuable and they don't want to see it vanish into thin air. That's why our partner Conjura has created Retail Analytics. A feature that can be used to sync and save your legacy Google Analytics data alongside your recent data from GA4 and other platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon, Google Ads, Facebook), providing a single source of truth for your eCommerce business. Conjura is offering free trials to Wayflyer customers until June 30th to save your data. The setup takes just 5 minutes and the offer link can be found in the comments below 👇
And with that, the Wayflyer team continues to grow—we're only getting bigger and better we're still hiring! 👇
Great to welcome 14 new talented individuals to our team this month! Their fresh ideas and enthusiasm are key to achieving our goals and delivering greater value to our customers in 2024. Excited for the growth ahead! 🚀 #growth #talent #welcome
When COVID-19 hit, Apollo Fitness Ltd had to switch gears from B2B to DTC, in order to meet the demand surge for in-home gym equipment. But they faced a challenge when far East factories couldn't keep up with that demand, straining cash flow. Juggling bills, wages, and rent while pre-paying for stock was unsustainable, necessitating a flexible financing solution. Enter Wayflyer, providing over €1 million in funding with unmatched flexibility and speed. This partnership ensured Apollo Fitness could maintain stock and cash flow, with funds available within 2-3 days when needed. The result? Year-on-year growth and the most profitable year in the company's history. Now thriving in the DTC market and offering premium gymwear, Apollo Fitness is set for even more growth with Wayflyer's support. 💪✨
Wayflyer is proud to back NuttZo Why we LOVE NuttZo... The Founder Danielle LiVolsi is a mission-driven dynamo. Danielle’s tenacity and entrepreneurial prowess was evident in her early media career with a New York City publisher and a top-ranked San Diego radio station. It’s no surprise she dreamed up an entirely new natural food category while perusing the peanut butter and jelly aisle of her local grocery store! Searching for protein and nutrient-rich options for her adopted sons, she found only peanut butters and some almond butters. Frustrated by the limited options, Danielle went home to her kitchen and created her own butter — a nutritious and delicious blend of multiple nuts and seeds. NuttZo, a female-led powerhouse, has achieved remarkable success with millions in annual sales and products stocked in thousands of grocery stores across America. NuttZo chose to partner with Wayflyer to help smooth the gap between fulfilling the huge POs landing daily from a large range of big box retailers and realizing that revenue back into the business - ensuring a smooth cash runway for the year ahead.

When David and Danny started their organic and nutritious baby food brand Kekoa Foods, they never expected it to become a massive retail success. Before they knew it, they were being contacted by a big-box retailer that wanted to stock seven of their products across the nation. Just one problem: how were they going to finance it? 👶 David Fullner and Daniel Auld needed to make sure they’d have enough products to stock the shelves without affecting their cash flow. A big opportunity came up for Kekoa Foods, and they needed to capitalize on it quickly. They turned to Wayflyer to make sure they wouldn’t miss out on a life-changing opportunity. 🤝 Kekoa Foods needed 6-8 wks to make their products, but their sellers wanted them in just a few days. With Wayflyer’s Wholesale Financing, we offered an ongoing financing solution that ensured: ↳ They could start production before receiving a PO to avoid delays ↳ Their products were ready to ship once a PO is received ↳ They avoided having their own cash reserves tied up in inventory 📈 Kekoa Foods went from selling in one store to selling in almost 800 across the United States. David and Danny also want to double their store’s footprint in about a year—which we’re more than happy to help them with! We know the importance of financing to grow businesses and keep their customers happy. If you want to learn more about how we helped Kekoa Foods become a nationwide brand, read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/ea_hM69Q
