How We Work

HOW WE WORK

Commercial marketplace support, on your terms.

We agree what you need to achieve, understand the commercial numbers behind it, and take on the work required. That might be one marketplace issue, a new channel launch, ongoing trading support or your entire online sales operation.

THE COMMERCIAL STARTING POINT

We start with your margin, not just your sales target.

Before recommending a promotion, changing a price or opening a channel, we look at what each sale actually contributes. That means understanding product cost, marketplace fees, advertising, carriage, returns and the margin you expect to make.

We agree the price limits, contribution targets and measures that make sense for your business. Those commercial rules guide the work, whether we are running one project or every channel.

Revenue without profit is worthless.

We agree contribution targets by product and channel, then use them to guide pricing, promotions and advertising spend. The goal is growth that improves your bottom line.

THE WORKING PROCESS

Clear scope. Practical work. Commercial accountability.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Define the brief

We look at your products, channels, current performance and the problem or opportunity you want us to take on.

02 / AGREE

Set the commercial rules

We agree what success looks like, how margin is measured, and who makes decisions on price, promotion and spend.

03 / DELIVER

Execute the plan

We carry out the agreed scope, from fixing listings or launching a channel to managing trading and operations.

04 / REVIEW

Analyse performance

We analyse sales and contribution by product and channel, report what happened, and recommend the next steps to improve performance.

FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN

From a specific project to full marketplace management.

Here are some examples of why clients bring us on board. We work alongside your team to support your online sales operation.

A specific problem

Take on a marketplace issue such as weak channel performance, poor listings, pricing pressure or margin leakage.

A new channel

Assess commercial fit, agree the launch plan, prepare the catalogue and get the channel trading with clear ownership.

Ongoing management

Run selected channels or the whole online sales operation, covering daily trading, pricing, promotions, account health and reporting.

We agree the scope and deliver it, giving you and your team more time to focus on running your business.
