Success Story of Planet Namek (Oh My Tokyo)
At Webshopsy, we take pride in helping businesses across the UK transition and thrive in the digital marketplace. One of our most inspiring success stories is with Planet Namek, also known as Oh My Tokyo, a cherished retailer specializing in Japanese pop culture merchandise like Hello Kitty, Pokémon, and anime collectibles.
Planet Namek originally captured the hearts of fans with its vibrant pop-up stall at the Arndale Market in Manchester, as featured in an article by The Mail on October 14, 2024. However, when the decision was made to close their physical retail shop, the team at Planet Namek faced uncertainty about the future. That’s when they turned to Webshopsy for support in building a robust e-commerce website to keep their business alive and growing.
Our team at Webshopsy worked closely with Planet Namek to create a seamless, visually captivating online store that reflected the charm and energy of their Manchester stall. We focused on designing an intuitive platform that made it easy for customers to browse and purchase their favorite Japanese goodies, from plush toys to authentic collectibles. We also integrated features to enhance user experience, such as secure payment gateways, mobile optimization, and a streamlined checkout process.
The results were nothing short of phenomenal. Since launching their e-commerce website with Webshopsy, Planet Namek has seen a significant surge in sales, surpassing the revenue they generated during their retail shop days in Manchester. The online platform has allowed them to expand their reach far beyond the local market, connecting with anime and kawaii culture enthusiasts across the UK. The convenience of online shopping has resonated with their customer base, leading to a steady increase in orders and a growing online community.
Tiffany Chan, Director of Planet Namek, shared her experience: “Closing our retail shop in Manchester was a tough decision, but partnering with Webshopsy to launch our e-commerce website turned everything around for us. The team was incredibly supportive, guiding us every step of the way to create an online store that our customers love. Our sales have soared higher than ever before, and we’re so grateful for Webshopsy’s expertise in helping us thrive in the digital space.”
This success story highlights how Webshopsy empowers businesses to adapt and flourish in the e-commerce landscape. By helping Planet Namek transition from a physical stall to a thriving online store, we’ve enabled them to not only sustain their business but also achieve unprecedented growth.
