Business Challenge
How Fruugo Helped
Prior to joining Fruugo, UK Soccer Shop faced the dual challenges of diversifying their sales channels and entering new markets, all amidst rising costs and uncertain online selling environments.
UK Soccer Shop have found Fruugo to be a hassle free, risk free service. Noting that Fruugo’s commission only business model means that if their products don’t sell, they aren’t charged. With no up-front costs and support services such as localised marketing and translation into 28 local languages, Fruugo is an invaluable partner when selling to 40+ international markets.Â
UK Soccer Shop also found that having a dedicated Fruugo Account Manager gave them a better experience when compared to other marketplaces they sold on.
If we have an idea to increase sales, we can run it through with them; and if we have an issue, we work together to solve it.
