Here at SAPA Commercials Limited, we see ourselves as more than just one ecommerce company among others. We’re part of the online retail community, a community that’s flourishing, changing and evolving in new and exciting ways with every passing year. And with the online world growing ever more populated, we think it’s beneficial to give our business a bit more of a personal touch.
As such, here’s a bit more information about us, so that you can get to know our business a little better; who we are, what we do, and most importantly, the kinds of businesses that we like to work with!
The roots of our story begin in the year 2012, as the brainchild of two business partners and entrepreneurs based in Northamptonshire. Like most businessmen nowadays, they’d dabbled in the online trade, often sourcing products from wholesalers and clearance lines to earn a little extra revenue. But as this trade grew, so too did their ambitions. They had already seen that online retail could be a success story for them, but they wanted to take things further.
The first seeds of what would later become SAPA Commercials Limited were planted then, with the idea that they could create a new company dedicated solely to making the most out of the exciting world of ecommerce, and the impressively profitable platforms that dominate it. But instead of selling the bits and bobs they’d get from wholesalers and the like, they’d shift focus to products that would really generate a buzz online; branded products, items that customers want and need, or even those that most customers never knew they needed!
Finally, after fiddling around with the project for a few years and make sure everything was in order, business started at SAPA Commercials Limited in 2016. Since then, our catalogue has expanded year on year, with our small but dedicated team constantly on the look-out for products that are bold, exciting, and perfectly suited for taking the online marketplace by storm!
What we do
If we were to boil what we do as a company down into a single sentence, it would all sound quite straightforward; we source products that we think our customers will want, and then sell them online on platforms like Amazon. Simple, right?
Well, not exactly. Finding those perfect products that will drive our customers wild amongst the myriad of other items online can be like trying to find a particular needle in a massive stack of needles! Fortunately, our talented team works tirelessly to sift their way through the generic and the mundane, to find those diamonds in the rough. Kind of like a truffle-hound, but sniffing through catalogues and websites instead of the French countryside…
When we’re not sourcing new product lines, we entertain ourselves by trying to streamline everything about our behind the scenes process. We’ve made leaps and bounds in improving the efficiency of our warehousing, while at the same time drastically reducing cost and time-spent on our postage and packaging, without sacrificing the quality of service. The end result of all these mundane and uninteresting cost-saving campaigns is a far smoother and swifter despatching process for our customers; after all, if we can save time and money, with savings passed on to the customers as well as a quicker processing time, then nobody loses!
Who we Work with
Of course, we couldn’t do any of this without our suppliers. Here at SAPA Commercials Limited, we believe that business thrives on co-operation; that’s why we work hard to foster a smooth, amicable relationship with our suppliers, to try and guarantee as smooth and frictionless a transfer of goods and payment as possible. After all, the sooner problems are resolved, products are supplied, and invoices paid off, the sooner we all profit!
We’re not too picky when it comes to the exact types of products we sell, so if you do believe you have something in your roster that’ll garner our interest, feel free to get in touch. In general though, we’re looking to work with suppliers who can offer the following:
- A wide range of high quality products, with universal appeal (such as household or garden items, kitchenware, etc)
- Branded goods, especially toys and novelty gifts that break from the norm
- Licensed or pop-culture products, particularly in ranges that are updated quite frequently
- Hand crafted and/or environmentally friendly products, for more climate-conscious customers
- Unique products, that customers couldn’t find anywhere else!
Do you have a product or products that you think fit our bill? Well, why not get in touch with us, and one of our team members will happily take a look at your catalogue!
