The purpose of the series is to present the most successful examples of sales organization, help entrepreneurs, retail chains, and FMCG companies start a business, and avoid classic mistakes, especially common at the beginning of their ventures.
The books describe in detail the processes of creating and operating a grocery online store, covering all stages of the organization (from choosing a business model to assessing profitability). The factors that ensure sales growth, business models of trade organization, and business processes of online food trade are considered, categories of buyers are given, and the software products used are characterized. Some parts of the books are devoted to advertising and marketing issues, recommendations for enterprise management, and systematic methods for assessing the performance of online grocery stores. The publications also made room for theoretical research; some scientific theories are reasonably applied in them.
Particular attention is paid to typical mistakes that most market newcomers inevitably make. Additionally, the books contain extensive materials about the development of online stores by FMCG manufacturers, as this trend has emerged in the last two years. The uniqueness of the books lies in their presentation of business cases from the most successful E-Grocery projects around the world.
