• Omni Channel Distribution
The future is digital. This can only be achieved by a wholistic and committed approach. We guide our clients through the new strategies, company structure, and data management tools needed for a fully digital focus.
Our mission is to implement an omni-channel distribution model by activating appropriate DTC (direct to consumer) channels, addressing needed changes within the company, and aligning wholesale activities.
Target: Small to medium sporting goods companies seeking to reinvent their consumer and wholesale channel distribution model; to maximize business opportunities; and to remove existing dependency on mono-channel strategies and wholesale buying trends.
• European Market Entry
The European Sporting Goods and Lifestyle market is a unified opportunity, with diverse regulations, business cultures, and distribution models. While major retailers and e-commerce provide regional solutions, there is still a need to align consumers, fiscal requirements, and local barriers of entry to become a serious market player.
Our mission is to offer a starting platform for brands online, while customizing a competitive, omni channel European distribution model. We enable clients to navigate European regulations and best business practices to reach target consumers across all channels with the lowest possible complexity.
Target: Global Sporting Goods companies, seeking a competitive and sustainable entry into the European market.
