SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Australia–eCargo Holdings Limited (ASX:ECG) (�eCargo) today provides an update on its exclusive distribution partnership with UK-based organic baby and toddler food company Ellas Kitchen (Brands) Limited (Ellas Kitchen).
Key Highlights
Ellas Kitchen, a UK-based B Corp certified company with a mission to improve childrens lives through developing healthy relationships with food, signed an exclusive distribution partnership with eCargo in September 2021. The partnership involves eCargo handling both offline and online sales and distribution within China, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Since launching, the partnership has been successful at scaling Ellas Kitchens sales in China, with their organic baby and toddler food now selling via more than 25 points of distribution online, including T-Mall, T-Mall Global, Taobao, VIP, Pinduoduo, and Jingdong and across 20 provinces and more than 3000 offline locations in China. To facilitate rapid sales growth, eCargo also relaunched flagship stores on Jingdong Worldwide and Jingdong China, with a renovated look and feel to align with Ellas Kitchens new marketing positioning in China. eCargo also coordinated successful in-channel marketing campaigns including livestreaming with celebrities and influencers, and offline tasting events for customer acquisition.
