Mountain Warehouse Case Study

Mountain Warehouse Case Study

How marketplace diversification helped the UK’s largest specialist outdoor retailer to boost conversion and grow sales in the UK and abroad.

Challenge

Reliance on Amazon

Mountain Warehouse sells outdoor equipment in over 330 stores worldwide, but its online marketplace activity was very weighted towards Amazon, with sales under-performing on eBay and other sites. When Tesco marketplace closed, Mountain Warehouse decided to grow sales on new platforms, but they needed support setting up and managing new marketplaces alongside growing the eBay business.

Emanaged’s expertise has been instrumental in helping us accelerate growth on new and existing marketplaces.

Approach

Diversification
