Summary

You might notice a slight difference in the production of today's, and the next month's, Content Corners as the UK is now in its second lockdown. This just happens to be one of the topics Andy covers in this little e-commerce update.

He touches on the fact that with this Lockdown going up until early December and potentially beyond, people are starting to realise they may be unable to get their loved ones Christmas gifts in retail stores and instead are going to have to turn to e-commerce, much like they did in Spring.

This however, does mean you may run out of stock sooner than you thought - especially if Amazon lock their doors to essential items as they did prior. In this case, having Seller Fulfilled Prime at a 3PL centre is a necessity, making you able to pivot to FBM and continue selling with no interruptions.

As well as this he touches on the fact the Amazon Sweden marketplace is no longer redirecting to Germany, and in fact, has officially launched its own marketplace, Make sure you expand your offers here as it's now another opportunity to get your products in front of more people in a new country.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to another content corner.

0:03.7

My name's Andy from Global Ecommerce Experts, and we're here to successfully expand you into the EU markets.

0:09.7

Now, you're probably noticing a slight difference in the content corner today.

0:14.6

Now, that's because of the UK lockdown, and we're going to come onto that in a moment.

0:20.3

So, but what I want to just touch on

0:21.7

is my news reporter setting here. I absolutely love it. This is what I typically use on our

0:28.0

Zoom calls and it's just one of those things where we've got the microphone, got everything set up.

0:32.5

And it's strange, isn't it? Lockdown gives us the ability to do things in a slightly different way. And it's

0:38.8

going to be interesting to see what this content corner comes out like and whether it's actually

0:43.4

easier to just do it this way, rather than get a camera out, get a microphone out, get all the

0:48.6

set up downstairs. It might even be easier to do it this way. It's strange how Britain going

0:53.9

into lockdown again

0:55.1

has given us a different opportunity than what we had last time already. And he gives us ways

1:00.4

of doing things slightly different. Anyway, so that's what we're going to talk about firstly today

1:04.6

is lockdown. And with the UK going into lockdown, if you are one of our US-based sellers, I think one, you might

1:12.4

not be aware of it because everything that's going on in the stakes right now. And I think it's

1:16.1

really, really pivotal because, you know, we are now locked down for November. Q4 sales really start

1:23.2

picking up second week of November, typically for Amazon sellers. Now, what I know is going to happen

1:29.0

is that there is a chart, no, sorry, let me rephrase that. What is likely to happen is that the

1:35.6

lockdown is perhaps extended into December. So all of those people, all of a sudden,

1:39.9

they don't want to do their Christmas shopping in shops in December and now thinking,

1:48.8

well, hold on, what if I can't get that stock in time?
