Zalando Company Aims to Expand Reach by Implementing a New Approach
Zalando is gearing up for a period of advancement as it unveils a reimagined strategy by broadening access to its operational logistics to a wider group, framing it as a novel “pan-European network” to amplify its efficacy.
The prominent German fashion giant envisions that its refreshed network strategy will propel growth up to 2028 subsequent to a minor decline in total merchandise value to €14.6 billion in 2023.
The corporation aims to fortify its B2B division by granting entry to its logistical infrastructure, software, and services to streamline online retailing activities for labels and sellers both on and off the Zalando platform.
Zalando also predicts a sales revival of 0% to 5% this year after a 1.9% drop to €10.1 billion in 2023.
“Our objective is to deliver enhanced experiences, customized products, tailored content, and amusement for our 50 million clients across Europe to bolster growth in our B2C sphere. In B2B, we aim to assist our corporate associates both on and off Zalando’s platform by utilizing our logistical infrastructure, software, and services,” Gentz included.
The e-commerce merchant envisions sizable expansion in the B2B sector in the middle term, transitioning into a multi-billion-euro venture.
By concentrating on administering exceptional shopping encounters in fashion and lifestyle, giving emphasis to categories like athletics, children, and household, and providing customized inspiration and amusement, Zalando looks to solidify its standing in customers’ individual journeys.
The Co-CEO of Zalando, David Schneider, accentuated the firm’s B2C plan centered on quality, lifestyle, and inspiration, setting them apart from competitors and positioning them for sustained market share growth.
“We aim to refine usability, convenience, and digital experiences for our clientele while incorporating attractive content and enabling personalized interactions utilizing our data and technology. This poses a notable opportunity to lift customer engagement to unprecedented levels,” Schneider conveyed.
Zalando has encountered hurdles due to declining demand post-pandemic growth upsurge, attributed to surging inflation affecting consumer habits.
