Oliver Bonas Case Study

How a clear and dedicated marketplace strategy helped one of Britain's best-loved independent lifestyle stores to almost triple its online sales.

Challenge

Limited marketplace experience

With over 75 physical stores across the UK, Oliver Bonas was adept at in-person sales, but lacked online marketplace knowledge. Having tried an ill-equipped marketplace agency initially, which led to low marketplace sales growth, poor operational efficiency and minimal channel profit, they turned to Emanaged to build and implement a clear channel strategy.

Emanaged has the experience to problem-solve and maximise our channel output. They have become a crucial extension of our team.
