iO, bol.com Gold Partner, helps you score with e-commerce

bol.com is the largest webshop in the Benelux and is now also one of the major players in e-commerce worldwide. Despite the sheer scale of the platform, 60% of sales on bol.com are made by local entrepreneurs — more than 50,000 organisations like yours, are getting the most out of their ecommerce strategy.

The bricks and mortar and digital stores coexist perfectly, and that's what today's consumer expects: a seamless experience that's consistent online and offline. When you sell on bol.com you reach Belgian and Dutch customers who might otherwise never have known your products. It also increases your online visibility, which can only ever benefit your brand recognition.

iO is a bol.com Gold Partner. This makes us a select group of agencies in the Benelux that are recognised by bol.com for their proven years of expertise and commitment to the platform.

But that recognition isn't the only reason you should choose iO:

• iO is an expert in the field of marketplaces and e-commerce.

• iO offers end-to-end services.

• iO has a large team of bol.com specialists.

• iO has a broad portfolio of (bol.com) clients.

The bol.com Partner Programme assesses around 40 digital agencies yearly and can award them Gold, Silver, Bronze or Ambassador status. These decisions are not made overnight: each assessment must meet various criteria. Like the number of bol.com sales partners you help as an agency, for example, or your advertising expertise and first-time parties you help onboard bol.com. Relying on showcases and a pitch deck, it is up to us to prove ourselves worthy of this partnership, year after year.

Equally important: having a marketplace team in place carrying a lot of expertise to properly advise and support bol.com sales partners. This includes bringing product assortments online, formulating a marketplace strategy, but also advertising, pricing policy and (improving) content.

Bol.com benefits from both satisfied buyers and sellers. This, in turn, results in higher customer satisfaction scores. By working with a bol.com partner you can do what you are good at while outsourcing what’s a lesser strength or what takes too much time.
