At Waltsco, we have a rich history in e-commerce dating back to the early 2000s. Our founder, Steve Walters, and his father, Daniel, saw an opportunity to create a niche hockey training product and established the Sports Netz brand, offering over 10 SKUs within the Sporting Goods market. However, with the declining margins of selling directly to brick and mortar stores, rising costs for domestic freight and the fall of the economy in 2008, the company shifted their focus to e-commerce and sold primarily through their own website and channels like Ebay. As the rise of Amazon grew, Waltsco expanded from the Sporting Goods and Outdoors category and hasn’t looked back since. Over the years, we have experienced all models within Amazon, including retail and online arbitrage, wholesale, bundling, private label, and now our main focus is in agency work, helping brands sell directly on seller and vendor central. We made this shift because we saw firsthand how challenging and time-consuming the Amazon platform could be. Despite the complexity and lack of user-friendliness, we have spent countless hours fighting for our clients to give them the best opportunity to succeed. Our goal is to bring value to our clients by offering peace of mind services to their listings, and we continue to do so as the platform evolves. |
