Nisbets Case Study

Nisbets Case Study

How specialist support helped Europe's largest supplier of catering equipment to increase its average conversion rate on eBay by 190%.

Challenge

Specialist channel support

The ecommerce platform Linnworks, which integrates with marketplaces, websites and couriers, was essential to Nisbets online sales strategy. When Nisbets’ previous marketplace agency stopped supporting Linnworks, Nisbets either had to take on new software or quickly find a replacement. Linnworks recommended Emanaged to Nisbets.

Our partnership with Emanaged is invaluable. Sharing ideas and co-creating strategies has helped take Nisbets to new heights domestically and internationally.

Approach

Proactive and reactive support

Emanaged quickly stepped in and provided Nisbets with the short-term support to maintain sales levels. As Covid struck, Emanaged adapted to changes in the business by offering close support when many employees were furloughed at Nisbets, while also evolving to changes in the market (rise in ecommerce) by maximising channels, increasing opportunities and offering guidance on key sales metrics.
