"Cross Border e-commerce is important to us because it provides a bit of a spread in sales." Says Philip Steens, director Enveloppenland.nl. "At the moment when sales for a certain country are a bit disappointing, you at least have the other countries that can make up for it." Cross border sales also make it easy to broaden the assortment. "Especially with the large volumes you can achieve by operating in multiple countries, you can very quickly get a product into the market profitably."
The success factor of Enveloppenland.com
Philip Steens sees several success factors for Enveloppenland.nl. "Both the wide range, the diversity of products and an enormously broad audience to which it is accessible are responsible for the cross border growth. At the foreign shops, everything is professionally translated and Enveloppenland.nl opts for in-house customer service. In addition, it is an advantage for us that we sell products that can be sent across Europe by parcel service just fine."
