304% Growth Beyond Amazon

How Dolu launched multiple marketplaces and expanded into multiple EU markets.

Marketplace Expansion
Overview
Our partnership started with Dolu in 2022 and has since grown significantly from inception. Initially in the need of Prime enablement across SKUs, Spreetail bought and completed against other sellers to pin-point and consult on missed growth opportunities.

Established in 1975, Dolu is a toy manufacturer that provides products and services at global standards by reaching the international market network. Dolu maintains its leading position in plastic toys and baby supplies in different product categories.

The Challenge
While Dolu wanted to continue growing beyond Amazon and further into the EU, their previous partners did not provide feedback or strategy to get them there.
Growth Strategies
Focus was only on growing a few SKUs rather than the brand as a whole
Prime Enablement
Long delivery times that reduced Prime eligibility and stalled expansion
Our Strategy
Prime enablement across more SKUs, as well as buying into a larger assortment, have been two key areas for growth.
  • Advertising Management: Increase ad spend and optimization for brand and product awareness
  • Content Strategy: Building out A+ content to ensure listings are in a good place and demand is maximized
  • Forecasting Demand: Effective flow planning to ensure good in stocks during the key summer season
  • Brand Protection: Prevent competitors from stealing their share of market across Amazon and other channels.
  • Special Make Up Products: Partnered on unique colorways that increased their assortment and gave them a unique offering the market.
  • BSR Optimization: Took items from launch to #1 in category, then expanded into legacy items.
The Bigger Impact

Spreetail has served as Dolu’s ecommerce department and is on track to execute growth in Germany this year while preparing to launch additional EU markets. The Spreetail team supports them by identifying growth opportunities — SKUs lacking Prime eligibility, SKUs suited for an advertising strategy, SKUs with a pricing advantage in the market, and new country launches — and we provide full-year orders to help reduce their production and operational costs.
