Welcome to the story of Concession King, a legacy wholesale distributor based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Join us as we explore their remarkable journey of growth and global expansion through their decision to join Alibaba.com.
Introducing Concession King
Concession King, also known as Shop The King, is a wholesale distributor offering a diverse range of products including candies, groceries, and pet supplies. Their extensive product catalog mirrors that of traditional convenience and grocery stores, establishing them as a trusted name in the industry.
The decision to join Alibaba.com
In the spring of 2020, Concession King ventured into the world of e-commerce, driven by the challenges posed by the global pandemic. Initially focusing on major marketplaces, they realized the potential of expanding their reach globally. Six months later, their journey on Alibaba.com began.
One of the reasons Alibaba.com stood out is its unique fee structure. Unlike per-unit transaction fees common across many competitors, Alibaba.com offers an annual payment system. Additionally, the platform’s global reach and the scarcity of local competitors made it a strategic choice for Concession King to enter the global market.
Alibaba.com: Catalyst for business expansion
Concession King’s journey on Alibaba.com boosted their business expansion in extraordinary ways. Overcoming export challenges and limited prior experience, they relied on excellent customer service and collaborated with reliable freight forwarders to streamline international transactions.
Their efforts bore fruit with notable triumphs. They earned business from a loyal Kuwaiti customer and established a million-dollar annual partnership with a Canadian distributor. These achievements were a testament to Concession King’s dedication, as they seized the opportunities Alibaba.com presented.
Adapting to Alibaba.com’s tools and features was not without its challenges, but Concession King tackled them head-on with some assistance. Chad, from Alibaba.com’s USA-based account management team, played a pivotal role in crafting and optimizing product listings. This ensured that Concession King’s offerings received maximum visibility on the platform. The partnership became instrumental in achieving their global success.
The future for Concession King: A marquee seller in the USA
Looking ahead, Concession King has a clear focus: utilize technology to expand their product catalog on Alibaba.com. Their mission is to become a marquee seller in the USA, delivering an exemplary service experience to their customers. By prioritizing customer satisfaction and continuously investing in technology, Concession King aims to solidify their position as a prominent player in the ever-expanding world of e-commerce.
Concession King’s journey on Alibaba.com exemplifies the platform’s ability to catalyze global growth for businesses. It underscores the importance of strategic decisions, unwavering commitment to customer service, and a long-term outlook on business growth.
