WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
A few words from our clients
Great & fast communication
ESSD helped Australian Bodycare to get the brand started in The Netherlands on the platform bol.com. It has been a pleasure working with ESSD consulting, the communication was great and fast. And I liked that we had a single point of contact. But even though one person took the lead, you could feel that everybody had the best intentions with our brand and made sure to do everything within their power to make it a big success.
Knowledgeable & solution oriented
ESSD played an instrumental role in launching GUNNAR on marketplaces across the EU and UK, including Amazon, Bol and Allegro. Through our global marketplace expansion, we’ve greatly valued the ESSD team’s territory specific knowledge and solution-oriented approach. While working with the ESSD, we’ve been able to rest assured knowing our brand is in good hands.
Expertise & dedication
ESSD helped Little Unicorn with key e-commerce platforms and retailers. It has been incredible working with them. They have the expertise we need to untangle the accounting and compliance side of doing business in Europe from the US. And they have been exceptionally dedicated to the needs of the brand. Even with the challenges of world health, supply chain, and war, ESSD Consulting has been passionate about what next steps are for growth and improvement.
Professional & consistent
Our experience with ESSD could not have been better. A professional company that makes our products its own, taking care and pampering its positioning, giving consistent results year after year. Our most sincere recommendation for all those companies that want to develop the digital market on the European continent.
Good results & Attention to detail
Entering the European market is incredibly challenging and constantly changing. With ESSD consulting we were surprised at how well they understand the whole European Ecosystem. They were able to help us get products into the country, get listed on the key e-commerce marketplaces, and build sales faster and more efficiently than we would have been able to do ourselves. They helped us scale in the right areas so that we could grow and gain market share and brand awareness. With so many countries and different languages, the European market wasn’t possible to enter without ESSD. We are very happy with the results and attention to detail they gave our brands.
