1Above partners with global retailing giant Amazon

Today, you can purchase almost anything online. You can purchase a car, a home, groceries etc, there are no limits. And the best part is that it can be done anywhere in the world, right from your computer or smart phone. It’s that simple.
 
1Above is one company that is soaring to new heights with their online ordering with a majority of their sales coming from their well established online store. Recently breaking into the US, with over 60 retailers, including global online shopping giant, Amazon, 1Above has proven that purchasing online is the way forward for any business wanting to expand globally.
 
To get the ball rolling, 1Above partnered initially with ExportX, which is a New Zealand exporter using deep e-commerce expertise and automated systems to bypass conventional distribution, harnessing the power of the world’s biggest online marketplaces – including Amazon.com.
 
CEO of ExportX, Paul Grey explains, “USA e-commerce is growing at 13% year on year, and we’ve already seen 1Above as a proven success achieving national reach across the USA immediately. The biggest challenge we have now for 1Above and Amazon, is keeping up with demand.”
 
Amazon’s sales are increasing year on year, and showing no sign of slowing down. Amazon.com’s B2C e-commerce sales shows drastic increase from 2004 to 2014. In 2004, the multinational e-commerce company’s net revenue was 6.92 billion US dollars, jumping to 88.99 billion US dollars in just ten years in 2014.
 
1Above CEO, Stephen Smith explains, “1Above was the first beverage of its’ kind, and over the past two years we have seen a drastic shift in sales moving further into the online space to adhere to increased demand from consumers worldwide. Our partnership with Amazon allows us to reach those who are time poor and may not work regular hours or be near a kiosk.”
 
US market research firm eMarketer, says that e-commerce US$3.5 trillion within the next five years, and the internet will account for 7.3% of global retail sales this year, growing to an astounding 12.4% by 2019. These figures ring true with 1Above and their online sales currently thriving, Smith believes that key to any business wanting to expand and reach further cliental, an online store is key. Without an online store to cover where a kiosk may not be able to, it is harder to gain reach in additional countries and expand globally.
