New to marketplaces
Lovehoney
How specialist marketplace knowledge helped Lovehoney start selling restricted goods on marketplaces and boost international channel sales by 170%.
Challenge
Restricted goods
Lovehoney is the UK’s favourite adult store with almost 300,000 product reviews listed on their site. Lovehoney wanted to start selling on marketplaces, but due to the nature of their business, they found constant roadblocks with restricted goods and struggled with heavily-restricted product categories.
Rich Insight has a lot of marketplace knowledge and experience, which was a huge help for us when we were launching new marketplaces.
Sally-Anne Shortman, Marketplace Manager, Lovehoney
Approach
Specific marketplaces
Rich Insight selected specific marketplaces that suited Lovehoney’s target audience and products, including closed marketplaces needing approval. Rich Insight explained the sensitivity around Lovehoney’s products and supported them consistently with their listing management, troubleshooting and overall performance to ensure the channel had a running start.
