21. Where do we Fail
Industries entering the direct
to consumer market should
avoid some
common mistakes…
???

22. 1. Not Defining a Coherent Market
Approach • What is the main purpose of
your online store?
• How will your commercial
strategy look like?
• What are your main KPIs?
• How will you inform your
retailers you are entering the
market?
• How are you going to launch
your online store? Soft launch
X mass press?
• What are you going to
outsource?
• Who is going to run the online
store?

23. 2. Creating a Separate Website for
the Online Store
• You might loose
visual identity
• Your customers
might feel lost and not
follow the conversion
funnel
• Be careful with website
reputation on search
engines

24. 3. Operating the online
store as the main
company
• You will need a separate team
• You will have to develop
different processes and solution
to different problems
• You will need to hire different
suppliers
• You will need flexibility and
agility
• And most important of all,
different KPI´s

25. 4. Hiring One Person to Run the Show
• You will need a team and not
only one more person.
• The company will have to
hire specialized people to
run the business in order to
acquire knowhow.
• Internal resources might not
have the necessary
knowledge.

26. 5. Considering the social media
budget as different wallets
• Once the industry enters the
digital sales market, it will have to
rethink the entire digital media
budget
• Invest in the right media for the
right purpose.
• Set specific KPI´s

27. What Now
• Industries that have
an established online
store, will profit from
the market place boom,
loyalty programs,…
