🚨 UK Brands: Ready to Conquer Europe? 🚨 Expanding into Europe sounds like the dream, right? With over £322.6 billion in annual online non-food sales and Germany, France, and Italy leading the charge, the potential is massive. 🌍✨ But let’s face it–it’s not all smooth sailing. Since Brexit, UK brands have had to navigate a minefield of complex customs, costly logistics, and the headache of managing stock across multiple countries. Plus, let’s not forget the chaos of cross-border returns and localisation. 🚚💸 So, what’s the key to unlocking European growth? Marketplaces are emerging as the game-changer. They account for nearly half of online sales in the EU, and for good reason. They offer brands direct access to millions of new customers, localisation support, and logistical muscle to ease the burden of cross-border operations. We sat down with experts like Brad Brooke from JACK1T, Emilia Gregorczyk from Allegro, Caroline McIlduff from South Beach Official, Basma S. Ali from Shoes For Crews (Europe) Ltd, and James Brooker from Lyle & Scott at ECD London, and they revealed how optimising stock, using one stock pool, and tapping into marketplaces is helping them overcome these hurdles. 🔑 Key Takeaways: - Cross-border logistics? A pain. But a European base? A game-changer. - Stock challenges? Streamlined with stock optimisation–service all markets from one pool. - Marketplaces? The key to unlocking new regions without reinventing the wheel. The video dives deeper into how these brands are turning obstacles into opportunities, leveraging technology to streamline operations, and embracing the massive potential Europe offers. 👉 Don’t miss the full story–link in the comments. #UKBrands #EuropeanExpansion #Marketplaces #Logistics #ZEOS #StockOptimisation #DigitalCommerce #GrowthOpportunities #Omnichannel #PostBrexit

One order ≠ five deliveries. 80% of online shoppers prefer receiving their orders in a single package, and most are willing to wait a few extra days for a bundled delivery. Why? Convenience, sustainability, and the joy of not having to track down multiple deliveries. 📦✨ The rise of multi-brand shopping is driving the need for order consolidation–where multiple items from different brands (and even different orders!) are bundled into one box. By consolidating orders, brands can: - Save up to 20% in shipping costs - Reduce carbon emissions - Reduce packaging waste Read more about all the benefits of order consolidation here: https://lnkd.in/eEsbNWic

Enter order consolidation - a game-changing solution that bundles items into one shipment.
