The Kitchen Accessories Provider goes “D2C”

Example

A leading kitchen accessories brand, entrenched in the B2B sector in the DACH region, faced the intricate challenge of going Direct-to-Consumer (D2C). The goal was to break into the EU Amazon market while launching a Shopify shop in their home market, all while maintaining quality control and brand integrity without disrupting their existing B2B relationships.

Challenges

The brand’s movement toward D2C was fraught with complexities:

1. Traditional Retailer Network: Their existing B2B focus required a careful transition to B2C, avoiding direct exposure as the seller.
2. Lack of Internal E-Commerce Expertise: Internal limitations in E-Commerce know-how posed a barrier.
3. Absence of B2C Infrastructure: Including billing, support, and operations, hampered the move.
4. No International VAT Infrastructure: Navigating VAT in target markets was a concern.
5. Similar Challenges with Shopify: The desired Shopify integration presented analogous challenges.
6. Untapped Potential: Despite recognized products, the brand’s online market potential remained unrealized.
