REPSPARK LAUNCHES INDUSTRY-WIDE TARIFF SURVEY TO HELP WHOLESALE BRANDS & RETAILERS NAVIGATE SHIFTING COSTS AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOR

April 9, 2025

As tariff changes bring new uncertainty to the wholesale industry, RepSpark is leading a community-driven initiative to gather insights, track changes, and spark shared solutions across brands and retailers.

Anaheim, CA – RepSpark, the wholesale growth platform built for efficiency and scale, announced the launch of two pulse surveys—one for wholesale brands and one for retailers—designed to better understand how new tariffs are impacting planning, pricing, product flow, and customer behavior across the wholesale channel.

The surveys aim to identify challenges and highlight adaptive strategies through anonymous, cross-community participation. Later this month, RepSpark will release a compiled report of key findings to help wholesale and retail teams learn from each other and take proactive steps forward.

Cross-Industry Questions Driving Insight:
 The surveys address timely topics across both sides of the wholesale ecosystem:

  • Are new tariffs affecting cost structures or inventory flows?
  • What changes are emerging in customer purchasing behavior?
  • How are brands and retailers adjusting pricing, messaging, or ordering strategies?
  • What support is needed—from communication to flexible terms—to adapt with confidence?

Two Surveys Now Open:

→ Brand Survey: https://tally.so/r/mOEM77
 → Retailer Survey: https://tally.so/r/3x6DN5

“We’re hearing the same question from every side of the table—‘How are others navigating this?’,” said Meghann Butcher, CEO and Founder of RepSpark. “That’s why we’re doing this. Our goal is to listen, learn, and share insights that help the entire wholesale community move forward together—more prepared, more connected, and more resilient.”

Why It Matters:
 Brands and retailers alike are facing increased margin pressure, shifting timelines, and more price-sensitive customers. This survey initiative gives everyone a voice and offers a snapshot of where the industry stands, how strategies are shifting, and where additional support or innovation is needed.

This initiative reflects RepSpark’s broader mission: helping wholesale teams sell smarter, operate leaner, and stay connected with their buyers—even during periods of uncertainty.

RepSpark invites its partners, brands, retailers, and industry media to share the survey links with their networks to ensure a broad, inclusive industry pulse.
