RENO, Nevada (PRWEB) May 23, 2017
GroupGets LLC., the online platform that empowers users to securely join or organize group buys for any product, has launched GroupGets for Business. This new service is ideal for enterprises and manufacturers that want to broaden their distribution channels by connecting with creative individuals and engineers who are actively looking for a specific product or assembly to realize their product development visions.
GroupGets levels the buying playing field by giving independent inventors, product developers, makers, and businesses the same access and pricing for specialized technology products as larger players. GroupGets connects these buyers with a wide variety of products offered by leading manufacturers, and enables them to apply the power of crowdfunding to secure volume pricing on products that would otherwise be unobtainable due to high minimum-order quantities.
With thousands of successful GroupGets transactions completed, GroupGets has established itself as an innovation hub depended on by manufacturers such as FLIR Systems Inc., Hamamatsu, Research at Google, and startups like Breadware Inc.
Today, with the launch of GroupGets for Business, GroupGets aims to attract lean manufacturers of sophisticated products and components that want to connect with new markets without having to resort to selling one-offs and small-quantity lots. For these manufacturers, GroupGets acts as an efficient and easy on-ramp to mass distribution that complements their existing sales channels.
"We’ve grown fast and evolved into a thriving innovation hub by enabling early access to tip-of-the spear technologies for professional researchers, product developers, makers, and enthusiasts worldwide," said Ron Justin, co-founder and CEO of GroupGets. "GroupGets for Business is the next phase of our evolution. It’s ideal for manufacturers looking for a way to market and sell beta versions, ‘unofficial’ product concepts, pilot products, and advanced technologies to our innovation-hungry community. We also have private, invite-only campaigns to enable supply chain ‘black ops’ for B2B and other uses."

"The GroupGets platform offers a powerful mix of a ready-to-use online storefront, a highly experienced marketing team, and access to a loyal customer base.

The GroupGets team is first rate and we will be releasing exclusives of our future products first on GroupGets." —Daniel Price, CEO, Breadware Inc.
