BtoC is an essential sales channel and showcase

The steady increase in the number of visits to the Royer Group’s trading websites - Kids&co.com, Kickers.com, Stephane Kelian.com and Roobiz.com – shows how much customers appreciate buying our brands online and browsing through each universe. The Royer Group develops each of its websites to suit different aims: while Kickers.com is already well established, Kids&co.com – which brings together all the Royer Group’s children’s brands – has considerable potential for developing its network on the web, while Stephane Kélian relies on its history to reinvent itself and reach out to its public…
