Insights

Online search for the best products is an ongoing given and we see that consumers are increasingly using Amazon as a starting point in their product orientation. HG saw enormous opportunities and potential for growth in this online market. Particularly in Germany, Spain and the UK the market looked very promising. It was time to take this different approach.

HG wanted to increase ecommerce sales in specific countries – and Incubeta was brought onboard to do just that.

Strategy

To expand business in ecommerce in European countries, Amazon is the way forward. But the question was, where to start, given the fact that every single country has their own challenges. HG asked for a country specific analysis including the potential for each country followed by the request for an advertising strategy with the highest return per country. And we had to speed-up to because Covid19 entered Europe and consumers were far more shopping online.
