Our take
eCommerce is booming across the world. Driven by a rise in mobile devices and general changes in consumer trends, global eCommerce sales are expected to total $8 trillion worldwide in 2027. This is a massive time in the history of eCommerce business.
Founded in 2001, Veepee specialised in so-called "flash sales", which usually last between three to five days and are exclusively available to the 50+ million members that VeePee's website boasts. In a nutshell, then, its strategy is based on two pillars of consumer engagement: exclusivity and time-restricted decision-making.
Now, VeePee is focused on two key goals: expanding its international presence and building a foothold in the second-hand & recycled market. With over 20 years of successful operations behind it, as well as a model which continues to be disruptive, Veepee is in a great position to attack the coming eCommerce growth head-on.
