由Frankie在东伦敦哈克尼创立
Kris以首席运营官的身份加入,他拥有亚马逊实操经验
SellerX收购了TCA,并整合了团队成员
“我们跟其他收购商也进行了磋商,但是,我可以很自信地告诉您,SellerX的转手流程是我目前经历的最顺畅和最满意的。”
Frankie,TCA的创始人
Frankie在2012年开始做生意,启动资金仅有100英镑,当时他心中只有一个小小的目标。他拿着仅有的资金在亚马逊上出售围脖。他的目标?赚300英镑,买一部新手机。当实现了这个目标后,Frankie决定把这300英镑投资进去进而赚取600英镑,以此类推。他当时只有22岁。他当时在母亲家里住,在自己的卧室里办公。在发现紧身运动衣成为一种新趋势后,Frankie不再销售围脖,而是决定为自己的品牌Thorogood Competitive Apparel(TCA)的创建打下基础。2015年,考虑到紧身运动衣市场的饱和,Frankie选择把业务扩大到不同类型的运动服装。
Frankie出差到中国,他细致地做出了材料筛选和生产的决定,他的目标是制作一流的服装。Frankie的付出得到了回报,TCA的销售火爆,一些专业运动员公开表示TCA是他们最喜欢的品牌,比如,Isaac Chamberlain。2017年,拥有亚马逊实操经验的Kris Linton以首席运营官的身份加入团队。Kris把自己的亚马逊知识应用到TCA内部,优化运营,把TCA引导到新的市场。2021年5月SellerX收购了该公司。
Frankie: 那时我住在我母亲家,在自己的卧室里办公。当时只是非常想做生意,想找到适合自己的类型。我第一次注意到所有的足球运动员都穿压缩紧身衣,我当时在琢磨:这是什么衣服?我要研究一下。这就是进入压缩紧身衣行业的契机。我的压缩紧身运动衣品牌在全英国位居三四。我当时第一次上市的一些产品今天依旧在我们的五大畅销产品之列,比如,长袖压缩紧身上衣。进军亚马逊是很偶然的。2012年的时候还几乎没有亚马逊Marketplace,显然这里也不适合销售运动衣。我当时在与实体店磋商,其中一家告诉我亚马逊在运营marketplace。于是,我就选择了这个平台。
Frankie: 创业之初的工作跟转手之前是完全不一样的。起初所有的事情我都要做,包括产品开发、上架、等等。我处理产品的设计开发、运营、发货单、上架、客服、打包、往来于邮局、等等。
到最后阶段,我的工作就是思考公司的未来:公司的目标是什么?我们需要关注的战略是什么?我的职责是搞清楚发展计划,通过雇佣人才,帮助他们制定合适的目标来执行决策。而创业之初,我的主要工作是在24小时内答复客户和来往于邮局,所以两者是完全不一样的。
Frankie: 作为团队的领导,你需要知道自己的劣势,还有优势。慢慢地你要把精力和时间转移到所擅长的事情上,所以,你需要找人做那些你不擅长的。对我来说,放弃亲力亲为和相信其他人是极其困难的。面试完Kris后,我对他说,“你一定要到这里工作。”这是我人生第一次在面试结束后这样告诉求职者。我在面试时就知道Kris是合适人选,他的技能和优势与我的很不同,因此我们是完美搭档。我们在软实力方面很一致,这一点是很重要的,比如说,职业道德和注重细节。
Frankie: 我认为最大的挑战之一是,亚马逊Marketplace的不断变化。我们2012年就开始做亚马逊,所以也算是老手了。2015、2016年,很多人都开始成为亚马逊卖家。我们当时深陷于自己的习以为常的活动,而没有注意到周围的世界发生了很大的变化。其中一个挑战是,重新回到起点发现我们一直使用的那个管用的老方法可能已经没有想象的那么好用。
比如点击付费广告,我们从来没有使用过,也不需要。但最后证明这是我们错过的最大机会之一。我们在Pan-European FBA方面下了很大的功夫。另外,随着保持大量FBA存货变得更加困难,我们在英国设立了Seller Fulfilled Prime。
