About the Client

Yakima began as a small machine shop in Washington before being redefined in 1979 when outdoor enthusiasts Steve Cole and Don Banducci took the helm. By 1984, Yakima had made its mark at the Summer Olympics, outfitting every race vehicle with aerodynamic fairings. Blending heritage, safety, and innovative design, their products transform the way people travel, empowering them to roam freely.

The Challenge

Previously, Yakima described their Amazon presence as a "wild west" scenario due to limited control over who sold their products and how inventory was sourced. Due to these circumstances, they continuously struggled with:

Limited Marketplace Reach
Primarily selling on Amazon with no presence on emerging marketplaces.
Fulfillment Limitations
Lacked a partner capable of handling oversized or hard-to-ship items.
Operational Inefficiencies
No streamlined system for managing ecommerce fulfillment.
Lack of Brand Control
Struggled with unauthorized sellers and inconsistent retail pricing.

和我们一起工作
机会

Spreetail 于 2023 年 9 月开始与 Yakima 合作。此前,Yakima将他们在亚马逊的存在描述为 “狂野西部” 情景,这是因为对谁销售产品以及库存来源的控制有限。在此次合作之前,Yakima一直在积极寻找具有基础设施的3P零售合作伙伴,以处理其产品的尺寸和重量,并具备专业知识以简化其在亚马逊以外的市场影响力。

亚基马痛点:
  • 扩展到亚马逊以外的市场
  • 建立可以处理难以运送的物品的零售合作伙伴关系
  • 简化配送操作
  • 帮助建立授权卖家的品牌控制措施
我们的提案

在Spreetail与Yakima探索合作伙伴关系的过程中,我们很快发现我们可以满足他们对Amazon 3P合作伙伴关系的所有需求,并为此超出他们的期望而感到自豪。通过利用 Vorys eControl 的专业知识和我们自己的专业入职团队,我们提供了无缝的入职体验,并兑现了最初讨论中做出的每一项承诺。

亚基马成功故事的很大一部分归因于Vorys eControl的工作及其品牌控制措施。我们与他们的团队合作制定了一项战略,重点是通过清除未经授权的卖家、建立更强的上市权限和巩固他们的市场地位,重新获得对在线品牌形象的控制权。

Yakima庞大的SKU目录以前曾是其他合作伙伴的障碍,但对我们来说并不是障碍。我们快速优化了 Yakima 的目录内容,及时发布了采购订单,并帮助他们重建了品牌在亚马逊上的强大影响力。我们的努力在确保Yakima在货箱类别中的优质地位方面尤其具有影响力。

Spreetail 解决方案
  • 能够毫不犹豫地处理 SKU 密集型目录
  • 快速进行内容优化,提高品牌知名度
  • 及时订购订单以重新确立Yakima在亚马逊上的影响力
  • 为巩固我们的优质定位提供专门支持,尤其是在货箱方面
  • 与 Vorys eControl 合作,对未经授权的卖家实施广泛的品牌控制措施
结果

作为Yakima在亚马逊上的主要卖家,Spreetail很荣幸成为大多数Yakima产品的唯一Prime卖家,这确保了简化、可靠的客户体验。尽管其他零售商仍在发布雅基马商品,但我们与Yakima和Vorys eControl的合作提高了他们在亚马逊的影响力。Vorys尤其发挥了重要作用,成功地清除了众多未经授权的卖家,其中包括一些亚基马多年来一直与之作斗争的卖家。这些努力反映了我们与Yakima和Vorys保持的牢固、透明的关系,这种关系建立在相互尊重和协作的基础上。

Yakima的品牌控制执法取得了显著成果,在61家从事未经授权销售的目标亚马逊店面中删除了45家(73.8%)。在该计划中,授权的 Buy Box 控制显著提高,从 78% 上升到 89%。值得注意的是,收入超过10.5万美元的三家最具破坏性的未经授权卖家被成功淘汰。

我们的持续努力继续取得卓越的业绩。在过去的30天中,授权卖家的评论率达到了令人印象深刻的98%,在过去三个月中保持了95%的强劲平均水平。此外,过去一个月,Buy Box的份额一直保持强劲增长,为89%,上一季度为83%。

我们对Yakima在亚马逊的持续增长感到兴奋,并热切期待将其业务范围扩大到美国、加拿大和欧洲。
