What can e-jumble do for you?

e-jumble was founded as an eBay based business selling purely on behalf of individual consumers, which has grown to servicing small to larger companies in addition to a loyal and burgeoning base of individuals.

Given the significant amounts of money that the general public spends today – mainly on ongoing credit – there is a vast market of new and used goods in the marketplace.

Today’s commercial world has become keenly competitive. Manufacturers the world over have to continually produce and update their designs, and adopt advancing technology to ensure a competitive edge and protect their profitability.

Companies from around the world are sourcing from factories in China and other emerging countries to accommodate such demands as quick turnaround, even if they have to air freight the goods in. In some cases, the rate of technology means that the goods are obsolete not long after they arrive on the shores of the target market – and so the cycle begins again.

As companies in western countries are often over supplied with stock, all major retailers are having to fight for invaluable data on who buys what where, and on their shopping habits in order to ensure that they increase their sales. Over the last few years, many major retailers have even increased their square footage, only to achieve last year’s figures. This does not resolve the problem of overstocks, but just increases the cost of the sales (rent, rates, overheads, etc). With increasing square footage, the only way for the retailers to generate more profit is to continually squeeze the manufacturers for lower prices. The profit margin on many of these goods has to be huge to cover the overheads. Factories are subsequently producing more items to accommodate constant cost pressures from their major customers.

Stores at the end of a season will always be left with overstock and importers/distributors will always have to take back the returns, even if in most cases there is nothing at all wrong with the goods. The onus is on them to store the goods and this is a significant cost for them to bear. Increasingly, importers/distributors are choosing to outsource the warehousing, picking and distribution functions and this will solve their current problems of accommodating the intake of goods from the factories and also returns. The problem is the need to hold this stock whilst seeking a buyer – many of whom will cherry pick items of interest, leaving slow moving lines behind. Clearly, this does not solve the problem of storage costs.

e-jumble, through its experience and approach to marketing items, will not only reach out to bulk buyers the world over, but also to the individual end user. e-jumble can even raise the selling price for the goods, thereby improving on revenue achieved from in-store sales for the same items at full price. This could simply be due to factors such as the goods weren’t in the stores long enough, or had been on sale at the wrong time, or regional variations in the popularity of certain lines. Similarly, it may have been a consequence of further supplies of the goods not having had time to reach those areas where they were selling strongest, or there could have been a miss match between the product and store profiles.

Undoubtedly, there could be significant demand for these items. In today’s marketplace, the natural place for people look for items that they cannot source from the High Street is eBay (e-jumble).

There are many explanations as to why we often achieve better prices. For example, we aim at a very large audience and usually start at the cost price – i.e. the sum that our client is aiming to recoup. This approach can create a bidding frenzy.
