"Selling on marketplaces is a great way for us to generate additional revenue. With Amazon we can easily sell throughout Europe and with bol.com we can make our products visible to a large audience in the Netherlands. These are customers who might not have found us otherwise."
We depend on the source data that our customers provide to us. It can get tricky when the data we get is of too low quality.
“I started Planet Happy 10 years ago, a toy shop originally in Driebergen. At the time, I thought if I had all my stuff in my shop, I might as well start a webshop. By now, we have 5 toy shops, we're on 30 marketplaces, we have a wholesaler on 3 marketplaces and 15 web shops. And now we combine all that with each other.”
We spoke with Michel Kuipers - Online Marketing Specialist at Cuebic (interim at Bartogi.nl).
Bartogi.nl is a webshop for all kinds of shoes, from flip-flops to luxury shoes. Bartogi is a sister company of the Hooijer Footwear Group, importer of well-known brands such as BirkenStock, Sockwell, Toni Pons and many more! Located in the east of the country with up to 70 employees.
“Timmermans Tuinmeubelen was founded more than 50 years ago from a shop where household items, toys, stationery, Christmas products, carnival articles and also garden furniture were sold. In the 1990s, an extra shop was opened where CDs and photography equipment were sold. All this from the centre of Tegelen.
In 2010, the decision was made to focus even more on the sale of garden furniture and in the winter period, outside the garden furniture season, only the familiar Christmas and carnival products. From that moment on, we have been growing rapidly. We now have seven branches and a logistics centre."
“We've existed for over 50 years now, but over the years this has expanded considerably. The organization is now not only a universal car dealer but also a leasing company, bicycle store and seller of bicycle batteries. The idea to start selling on marketplaces came from an advisor. We concluded that web shops still have their value, but that marketplaces are something that is booming.”
“We once started with toys, from there to physical therapy, and then we made the switch to consumers. We saw the impact of marketplaces. People buy here much more easily than from their own webshop. Three years ago we really started working on this and we see that it makes a very positive contribution to our revenue.”

“We have been a supplier to physical therapists for 30 years. Last year we decided to also focus on consumers who want to live healthier. A marketplace like bol.com offers the opportunity to easily sell your products to consumers. This is how it started for us and by now it has become an important part of our turnover and we are now looking to sell on more marketplaces. ”
“We started selling products via our webshop and as an addition, we decided to start selling on marketplaces. This soon turned out to be a tremendous success. Not only our turnover but also the number of customers that visited our website increased significantly.”

“Our marketplace sales were first generated via our dealers. We then noticed that the dealers did not spend enough time on creating strong content, so we started handling that on bol.com. This enables us to present perfect content and stimulate dealers to achieve the buy-box. We felt the need for an advanced solution as soon as the number of orders started to increase, which we found in EffectConnect. ”
“We started importing televisions and monitors back in 2016, after which we soon decided to start our own production. In 2017, we decided to focus directly on the consumer. Our biggest market was Germany, so we started selling our products on Amazon.de. This turned out to be such a success, that we currently offer our products on every Amazon marketplace. and expanded to other European marketplaces as well.

“We noticed a trend among consumers who were buying more and more on marketplaces such as bol.com, instead of buying in a classic webshop. We reached a larger audience by selling on marketplaces, which caused sales volumes to increase. This created the need for automation. We found our automation partner in EffectConnect, by the advice of bol.com.”
“NRG Fitness has been active as a wholesaler of sports articles and fitness equipment since 1993. They use different marketplace integrations and the Feed Manager in EffectConnect. The convenient aspect of the Feed Manager is that it enables me to create custom datafeeds for different customers in the blink of an eye.”
“We clearly see a need for product availability both offline and online in omnichannel retail. This positively affects our number of visitors in our brick and mortar store. The orders directly arrive in Prestashop, which is very convenient. I can't imagine having to process everything manually!”

“The goal of Bath&Living is to be able to show the complete product range of each brand, both offline and online. The manual work that came with it was very labour intensive. Using EffectConnect enabled us to spend much more time on the development of our company, the optimization of our processes and the improvement of our purchasing and product range.”
“At a certain point we wanted to start selling via bol.com. We immediately wanted to start automating this process. We had our shops in Lightspeed and it was them who brought us into contact with EffectConnect. EffectConnect is a 'young' company that responds quickly. Something completely different compared to other providers.”

“We started developing and selling wooden baby- and children furniture since 1987. We recently decided to expand in the field of e-commerce. It is quite labour intensive to work with multiple webshops and open up our backend everyday to view all orders. We realised that it must be easier than this, so we asked EffectConnect to brainstorm with us to obtain objective advice.”

"Beter Bed is using EffectConnect for quite some time to automate their marketplace sales. Selling (large) furniture online always poses a logistical challenge, both in delivery time as in the actual delivery itself. This sometimes calles for a hybrid model. This model can be merged in one account in EffectConnect, which is very convenient!"
