After being approached with investment to set up a business to distribute Blaupunkt brand power tools online in the UK, I have spent the last 6 years managing all aspects of a multi-channel ecommerce and fulfilment business alongside my partner. In addition to my UK work I have also assisted in the set up of a similar operation based in Portugal and distributing to most EU countries.Areas covered include Marketing, SEO, Content, Photography, Data Feeds, Integrations, Web Design, Fulfilment and much more. Selling via sales channels like Amazon FBA + Seller Fulfilled Prime, eBay, OnBuy, ManoMano, Fruugo, Ideal World TV as well as a Web Store built using Shopify - Marlin UK was built to be a fast and lean operation maximising the use of automation enabling us to be competitive in an ever more crowded market.
