OUR VISION
Traditional retail is declining, brands must find new markets. Online fashion sales are growing rapidly worldwide. Most major e-commerce sites across the world have also become marketplaces (no stock risk…). This makes brands available at a click to any buyer, even one at the other side of the planet.
Our ambition is to be the platform of intermediation between European brands and global e-tailers: bringing e-tailers turnkey sourcing and helping fashion brands to reach millions of new consumers.
A ONE STOP SHOP SOLUTION
Are there any setup costs or recurring fees?
We apply limited set up fees to cover initial catalog mappings and API set up with marketplaces
There is no recurring fees – 100% commission based model
How do you manage the synchronization across dozens of marketplaces?
There is 1 single platform for the brand, we develop the API with each marketplace
Catalogue: How do you adapt content and photos at each site?
We build the catalogue and shoot the photos taking multiple constraints into consideration.
How about the translation:
THEAGENT stakes care of having translations produced by native speakers.
Isn’t it too expensive to ship internationally?
We have negotiated rates with different carriers, which are optimized for each configuration.
How are customs export taxes handled?
We solve the problem on a country by country basis (e.g. Southeast Asia, Brazil…). Strong tax incentives exist for cross-border sales in the marketplaces, particularly in the USA, Russia and China.
Isn’t managing returns expensive and complicated?
We have negotiated to decline returns outside Europe, or we organize returns locally
What guarantees payment?
We guarantee a payment in Euros and manage currency with a partner when appropriate.
