The world's first digital beverage showcase
The THIRSTYZONE brings together brands and importers from all over the world. On this page we answer all the questions you might have.
What exactly is the THIRSTYZONE?
THIRSTYZONE is the first global digital marketplace for the beverage industry. The THIRSTYZONE isn't a retailer, it's your behind-the-scenes partner. We help your products gain visibility, connect you with the right contacts, and support you in expanding into international markets!
Who can register as a brand?
Manufacturers of beer, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages with a valid license and export authorization. The THIRSTYZONE is the global marketplace for traditional drinks and the latest trendy beverages. In conclusion this means: all drinks are welcome!
Are the importers verified?
Yes, all importers must provide proof in the form of an import license. Additionally, you’ll need to upload further information, such as a valid tax ID number. Thanks to our global network, we have trusting and long-standing relationships with our business partners.
In which countries is the THIRSTYZONE available?
We connect brands with verified importers around the world. Our experts and partner agencies are globally networked and bring these partnerships to the THIRSTYZONE. Our goal is to build trusting partnerships with importers and brands in every region of the world.
Are there any costs for the registration?
Registration is free for importers. Brand owners can choose one of our three subscription models. The models take individual circumstances and objectives into account. We are convinced of the added value of our platform: we offer all brand owners a free trial period of 2 months!
How are payments processed? Are the payments secure?
Trust and security are our top priorities and form the basis of our business. We use the global payment provider Stripe for both our subscription models and for each order. With several payment methods, Stripe offers maximum flexibility and extremely high security.
How do we make money?
Our model is simple. Brand owners sign up for a subscription to gain visibility, reach, and sales. In addition, there’s a performance-based commission. If a deal is closed through a contact made via THIRSTYZONE, we share in the success. Brand owners pay a 5% commission.
Which brands are represented on the platform?
National and international brands as well as startups from the beer, spirits, wine, and non-alcoholic sectors. Both traditional beverages and new trends are represented on Thirstyzone. The diverse selection of beverages is what sets THIRSTYZONE apart from other platforms.
Can I see from which country a brand or importer comes from?
On our marketplace, you can use various filters, such as the country of origin. For example, if you are looking for a beverage from Germany, you can set a filter for this country.
How do I find out about the latest trends?
We send out a regular newsletter reporting on the latest trends and beverages from the global beverage industry. You can opt in to receive the newsletter during the registration process or afterwards in your company profile. Stay tuned!
How is the confidentiality of my data protected?
Data is only made visible to registered and verified users. Sensitive data such as prices can only be viewed by importers. Brand owners cannot see this data among themselves.
Is the THIRSTYZONE involved in logistics?
No, THIRSTYZONE brings brands and importers together. However, logistics are arranged independently between the parties themselves. The THIRSTYZONE isn’t a retailer—it’s your behind-the-scenes partner. We boost visibility for your products, connect you with the right contacts, and help you expand into international markets!
How long does it take to find suitable partners?
That depends on the category and region. You have several options to get in touch with suitable business partners. We are also continuously working to increase the number of attractive brands and importers.
Are there minimum quantities or sales requirements?
We provide the platform, network, and tools. Everything else is up to you! You set your own minimum order quantities, logistics, and payment terms.
Who can see my profile?
Only registered and verified business partners. Data protection and reliability are the absolute basis for our marketplace.
