01 — The challenge
The client runs an offline business and had exactly zero hours for eBay. He wanted a genuinely hands-off wholesale store — but UK sporting goods is seasonal, competitive, and unforgiving of slow dispatch.
02 — Our strategy
Anchor the catalogue in year-round categories — fitness, fishing, camping — then layer seasonal spikes on top. Five UK wholesale distributors give 1–3 day dispatch, which keeps delivery estimates tight and the account's seller level at Top Rated.
03 — Execution
- 5 UK wholesale distributors onboarded with 1–3 day dispatch SLAs
- Catalogue balanced 70/30 between evergreen and seasonal lines
- Top Rated Seller status earned in the first quarter and held since
- Weekly numbers pack + monthly strategy call — the client's only job
