I designed the brand, oversaw the creation of the website, set up numerous supplier accounts with the market leading German manufacturers (Steiff, Teddy Hermann and HABA). Due to the nature of any E-Commerce business I have to maintain an active Facebook, Twitter, Blog and a YouTube channel where I upload product pictures, videos and competitions to increase the organic search results in Google & Yahoo search engines. Day to day duties include processing and shipping orders both domestic and international, updating website details and adding or altering products using the Open-Cart system.
