Channeladvisor Will Support Fulham F.C. to Increase Its Global E-Commerce Footprint on Marketplaces

ChannelAdvisor Corporation, a leading provider of cloud-based e-commerce solutions that enable brands and retailers to increase global sales, announced Fulham Football Club has turned to ChannelAdvisor to support its marketplace expansion. Fulham, one of the leading Premiership League football clubs, will leverage ChannelAdvisor Managed Marketplaces to help optimise and grow its e-commerce sales globally.

Fulham has a loyal customer base, and with just 30 percent of its current merchandise sales occurring online, the football club recognised the opportunity to expand its online footprint and attract new fans, particularly from international markets. Prior to working with ChannelAdvisor, Fulham had a limited catalogue of products available on Amazon UK. Now with its full inventory live on Amazon UK with ChannelAdvisor, Fulham has its eyes set on international opportunities, and targets to a launch on Amazon US soon.

With ChannelAdvisor Managed Services we have a team of e-commerce professionals guiding our business strategy and industry insights — while leveraging the full power of the ChannelAdvisor platform.
