“DHL Online Business Start” – Initiative for new sellers in eCommerce

The coronavirus-related store closures hit many retailers hard. However, some of them have taken the opportunity to digitize their trade and build a second mainstay in online business – even beyond the time of the crisis. Do you want to do the same? Expand your stationary sales and gain a foothold in digital retail? Then get off to a successful start in eCommerce with DHL and many strong partners.

Brick-and-mortar retail needs strong partners

Together with the German Retail Association (HDE), our partner DHL has launched an initiative to effectively support brick-and-mortar retailers with digitalization. After all, it makes sense to have experienced partners at your side, especially when taking the first steps. After all, the transformation from offline to online not only brings with it more reach and new sales channels, but also many new work steps and technologies – all of which require expertise.

This is exactly where the “DHL lokal handeln” initiative comes in by pooling the expert knowledge of numerous partners and making it available to you as an eCommerce newcomer. Save yourself the hassle of researching the right contacts and service providers and rely on the established quality of the participating partners!

Find the right service provider in just a few steps

DHL provides you with a short multiple-choice questionnaire to help you get started with digital commerce quickly and smoothly. Once you have answered the questions, you will receive an individual list of suitable service providers that suit you and your digitalization project.

Good news: many of these service providers offer you special conditions and discounts as part of the initiative.
