ABOUT YOU

🎧  Neue Woche, neue #ThinkWithTarek Episode.
 
20 Jahre sind vergangen, seit unser Mitgründer und Co-CEO Tarek Müller seinen ersten Onlineshop plante. Damals entschied er sich für ein Shopsystem und brauchte neun Monate für den Aufbau. Heute stellt sich die Frage nach dem Einsatz vorhandener Shopsysteme im Gegensatz zur eigenen Programmierung – aufgrund der komplexen Anforderungen an Onlineshops – nur noch selten.
 
Der Markt hat sich weiterentwickelt! Headless, composable, unified und best of breed. Es ist höchste Zeit, dass Tarek und Rolf Hermann 🤘🏻 in ihrer neuesten Podcast-Episode, präsentiert von Podstars by OMR, über Shopsysteme im E-Commerce sprechen und einige Mythen ausräumen:
 
🎙  Ein Shopsystem passt zu allen Unternehmen.
Nein, die Auswahl an Shopsystemen ist vielfältig. Es gibt spezialisierte Lösungen für das Enterprise-Segment sowie für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen. Wichtig ist, das passende System für die nächsten zwei bis drei (nicht fünfzehn) Jahre auszuwählen.
 
🎙  Allein der Umsatz entscheidet über das Shopsystem.
Falsch. Zwar kann der Online-Umsatz zur groben Kategorisierung dienen, jedoch ist die Komplexität ausschlaggebend: Entscheidend sind u. a. das Geschäftsmodell, die geografische Ausbreitung und die verfügbaren Ressourcen.
 
🎙  Der Einsatz von Shopsystemen ist teuer.
Nein, mit Blick auf die häufig beschränkten Ressourcen für E-Commerce-Projekte fallen die Kosten für Shopsysteme meist prozentual zum Umsatz oder den Bestellungen an. Kostentreiber sind Individualisierungen, wie z. B. neue Features.
 
Mit der SCAYLE Commerce Engine gehört eine der am schnellsten wachsenden Enterprise-Commerce-Plattformen der Welt zur ABOUT YOU Group. Nach sieben Jahren Entwicklungszeit wurde die Marke im November 2021 gelauncht und ist heute eine eigenständige Gesellschaft. Spezialisiert auf das Business-to-Consumer-Geschäft verfügt SCAYLE über eine lange Liste an Firmenkunden und starke Profitabilität.
 
🌐  Die Episode ist auch für diejenigen eine Hörempfehlung, die aktuell nicht auf der Suche nach einem neuen Shopsystem sind: https://www.lnk.to/TWT_24

👗Fashion news: The 'florence by mills co-created by ABOUT YOU' collection Spring/Summer 2024 showcases the beauty of spring through its vibrant colors and shapes.

The beauty brand 'florence by mills' by the famous actress Millie Bobby Brown is launching together with us their newest Spring/Summer 2024 collection. This is the 3rd collection that resulted from our successful cooperation. The co-creation features fresh silhouettes, playful colors, and lively spring patterns, as well as reinvented bestsellers from past collections.

This includes among other things shiny satin pieces, see-through tops, and corset details. Community favorites, such as the Break Time blouse and the Happy Hour jumpsuit, are redesigned with pink and blue patterns. Millie's signature shade of sweet lavender runs through the collection, with a hint of grass green, pink and blue tones. The favored textiles include soft cottons and summery linens, which are modernized with whimsical embroidery, peek-a-boo elements, and vivid spring colors. 🌸

Inspired by these colors, playful and pastel-colored landscape prints were integrated as backdrop elements in an otherwise neutral setup for the shoot. The 47 pieces are available from February 16, 2024, in all ABOUT YOU online stores, including worldwide shipping options, in sizes 34-44.

👕 Fashion news: ABOUT YOU and DAN FOX APPAREL have launched their first ESSENTIALS NOS collection, designed to create the perfect men's capsule wardrobe.

ABOUT YOU and content creator Daniel Fuchs have been collaborating on men's fashion since 2019. The ESSENTIAL pieces will complement the regular DAN FOX APPAREL collections and provide a timeless addition to any wardrobe, outlasting short-lived trends.🤩

The collection includes high-quality, durable basics such as T-shirts, classic sweatshirts in muted shades, and robust jeans made from 100% organic cotton.👖🧶 The highlight piece is a high-quality biker jacket made from real leather.

All pieces have been developed using special processing techniques and selected materials to ensure high quality and long-lasting comfort. This is made possible by a high proportion of organic cotton in the material mix and the 'pre-washed' or 'pre-shrink' processing methods. These methods reduce shrinkage and maintain the fit of the garments. 

The accompanying infotainment campaign for the collection on aboutyou.de and social media, the well-known content creator shows his community the benefits of a Staple Wardrobe and provides valuable insights into the correct care of the high-quality pieces. 

All 23 pieces will be available in all ABOUT YOU online stores from February 9, 2024.🔥

💥📢 News are out! Q3 2023/2024 closed with an all-time high EBITDA and free cash flow.

In today’s Quarterly Statement, we reported a significantly improved adjusted EBITDA of EUR 19.8 million and a positive free cash flow of EUR 93.1 million. Accordingly, the adjusted EBITDA margin climbed to 3.6%, reflecting our disciplined cost control as fulfillment and marketing costs reduced by 13.4% and 24.4% year-on-year, respectively.

"We thank our customers and colleagues for a successful November. We are proud to end the quarter with an all-time high adjusted operating profit in positive territory. To achieve our full-year guidance, we remain concentrated on efficiency measures, without neglecting targeted investments in our brand," says Tarek Müller, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.

Propelled by the Black Weeks campaigns in November, Group revenue showed an upward trend throughout the quarter yet ended with a slight decline of 0.5% year-on-year to EUR 551.9 million due to unusual warm weather conditions at the beginning of the quarter. Further investments in customer experience and brand awareness were:

🛒  ABOUT YOU SHOPPERY campaign, giving customers the chance to become a millionaire
📡  Television campaigns, inspiring customers at home
🪡  Exclusive collections, including Toni Garrn's debut collection co-created by ABOUT YOU

This makes ABOUT YOU one of the most popular online fashion stores for Generations Y and Z. In the last twelve months until November 2023, we recorded an increase in average order value to EUR 56.0 (+1.2% year-on-year) and order frequency to 3.1 (+1.6% year-on-year).
