Oleoshop successful case: AIXO online shop

Today, we talk with Belén, CEO at AIXO Barcelona

This is her online shop: http://www.aixo.es

AIXO is a shop specialized in furniture, design, Nordic decoration and vintage with a touch of Mediterranean essence.The freshness and simplicity of its website, as well as its physical store, inspires all sorts of concepts that are very popular nowadays: vintage, modernism with an antique touch and, above all, the importance in the small details. Today, Belén will explain the keys to the success of her business in the online and offline fields, and how she set up her online shop with Oleoshop. 

It wasn´t very original. It happened when my daughter was born that I gathered all the necessary courage to do it. I had been thinking about it for a long time but I didn´t dare to take the first step.

It isn´t difficult because it´s a style lots of people like, not only for its bright and clean aesthetic but because it´s eminently practical, eliminating the superfluous and proposes a greater enjoyment of the spaces. It has come to stay, because we see that it´s easier to live without accumulating, especially taking into account the size of the average homes. 

I don't know if there´s a formula, I suppose it´s a matter of seeking what makes you different from the competition and trying to pass it on to the right people. I don´t mean to say it´s easy. 

It´s imperative. Probably 80% of my clients have known me through social networks, maybe more. It's great that someone tells you that has travelled miles just to see your shop after following you on Facebook for months . 

In fact, the two shops were born together. After studying several options, and within the budget that I had, I chose Oleoshop because the understanding was good from the very beginning. They immediately understood the type of shop I wanted and gave me many tips to get it. Their experience is noticeable in this sense and it gave me trust. 

Sure, because you not only have the opportunity to sell out your nearest area, you also have a fantastic showcase for your product. The online shop also works a bit like a catalogue for customers in the physical shop. 

The added value is certainly closeness. Communication is frequent and very easy. Also I can suggest minor changes or point out aspects that I think that will help to make the shop easier to use, Oleoshop staff is always open to suggestions. In some ways, the website is growing little by little, it isn´t static. 

And the platform is very easy to use, even for people who are not expert on this field.

I don't like giving advice. But I can say that it should be very clear and that we must take courage, patience and time. 

Belén, thank you very much for sharing this time with us. We wish you the best at AIXO.
