5 reasons why the e.ALERT is a must-have for all brands

By Marco Passoni

The 2.0 & Partners e.ALERT is a ground-breaking new product that puts the tender process into the palm of your hand.

With more than 41,000 airports worldwide, it can be difficult to stay on top of all the opportunities, let alone making sure they are the right ones for you. With the e.ALERT, our dedicated team of experts does the hard work for you and sends you all the information about the opportunities which meet your exact specifications.

This independent service is free from bias or limitation due to existing deals; it gives you complete control to make the best decision for your business.

Here is why the e.ALERT is right for you:

1. First to know

Simply fill out your specifications and we will get to work. You will receive instant updates about new opportunities, delivered straight to your inbox – completely independent and free of agenda. For brands with a wholesale approach, this means you know about tenders even if your current partners are not involved; putting you in control.

2. First to bid

The e.ALERT contains everything you need to plan your bid. We analyse the opportunity and send you all the relevant details and paperwork to start your application. Once we have got you ahead, we make sure you stay there.

3. First to win 

Every opportunity is a golden chance for businesses around the world. We make sure you know about the spaces as soon as they come up, even if your existing partners do not. Whether you operate a wholesale or direct-to-consumer model, our service gives you all the information to make the best call for your brand.

4. Unlimited access to international airports

At 2.0 & Partners we are dedicated to travel retail; we have decades of experience in this unique market and have forged long-standing relationships with airports around the world. This means we know about all the upcoming opportunities – including those that do not make it into the public market. What we know, you will know.

5. Alerts tailored to your business needs

You pick the parameters, we find the spaces. You define exactly what you are looking for and we will tell you about every opportunity that meets your needs – and only those ones. No wasted information. No wasted time.
