• How do I get started? What’s the process?
  

  Starting with any of the Immediate Opportunities listed is a breeze. Simply click the "Get Started" button, and you'll be directed to a sign-up page where you'll answer a few questions about your brand. Afterward, you'll be prompted to add your products to RangeMe. Once your products are added, you'll then be guided through the process of submitting them to the Immediate Opportunity you selected.

• How will I know if my brand or product has been selected?
  

  One of the primary benefits of these Immediate Opportunities is your visibility into the decision process. After you have completed your submission, you will be able to review your entries at any time and monitor their status. Rest assured, we guarantee that you will receive a response from the buyer after their review has concluded. Please keep in mind that these buyers are typically quite busy and may not make decisions on a daily basis. Therefore, it’s key to remain patient and check back often to see if there has been any progress.

• Will I have a meeting with a buyer?
  

  If your brand is selected by the buyer, they may opt to arrange meetings with you and other approved brands. These meetings could take place virtually or in-person and there could be additional expenses related to attending a buyer meeting.

• Can I reach out to the buyer?
  

  The buyers who have initiated these Immediate Opportunities have teamed up with RangeMe to streamline their submission, evaluation, and communication process. Please note that buyers will exclusively consider brands and products submitted through RangeMe and it's recommended to refrain from reaching out directly to the buyer, as they are committed to conducting reviews and communications solely through RangeMe.
