If you’re thinking about your eCommerce marketplace strategy beyond eBay and Amazon and how you might expand your marketplace business, hopefully you’ll find our ‘Spotlight on…’ series useful. We’re starting with Europe and Scandinavia, for no other reason than they’re close to home. Next in our series: Coolshop.
Where did Coolshop start?
Coolshop was established in 2003 with the aim of making selling video games cheaper and easier, with an approach to improve on the high street store experience, and offering a more immersive shopping experience for customers. Since then, Coolshop has grown to encompass a huge range of product categories with a marketplace that many customers in northern Europe and Scandinavia trust.
Why do customers like Coolshop?
We love the Coolshop ‘Magic Five Points’ philosophy: to be best on price, service, information, security and selection, and we believe it will resonate with many of our sellers too. But clearly, it’s working for customers too – the Coolshop Magic Five Points has led to almost 70,000 verified reviews on Trustpilot, achieving an Excellent rating.
We’ll let you check their feedback for yourself, because it really does show why customers love Coolshop, but many reasons we see for five-star feedback mention excellent delivery times, great prices and great communication – all of which reflect Coolshop’s commitment to their Magic Five Points.
Who are Coolshop customers?
Coolshop’s fantastic customer service has led to over 2.2 million customers using Coolshop regularly, and there’s around 7 million unique visitors to Coolshop every year, with more than 270,000 customers subscribing to their newsletter.
