The key elements of a successful About You approach

Sell on About You in 5 steps

Strategy

Success on About You starts with a clear brand positioning. The platform is especially strong for brands targeting younger generations, those with a strong visual identity and brands that can move quickly with seasonal trends. Together, we determine how About You fits into your wider marketplace strategy and which countries offer the highest commercial potential.

 

Integration

To sell effectively on About You, you need an integrator that can handle large fashion catalogues, variant structures and return flows. Tradebyte and ChannelAdvisor are the best technical solutions for the requirements of About You. We help set up the integration, clean and structure product data and ensure inventory, pricing and variants sync flawlessly.

 

Operations & logistics

About You offers Fulfilment by About You (FBAU), allowing you to outsource most of your logistics. For brands wanting to expand across borders or streamline return flows, this is an attractive option. We assess whether FBAU aligns with your volumes, margins and growth plans, support your registration, configure your account and streamline your operational processes so you meet About You’s service levels.

Content

About You applies strict content standards. Your products must be complete, up-to-date and supported by correct variants and high-quality visuals. Outdated collections are not allowed, the oldest permitted items are from the same season of the previous year.
About You also requires that customer questions are answered within 24 hours, shipping and returns are free, and that you use the platform’s packaging guidelines. Our specialists create content that meets these standards while strengthening your brand identity.

Advertising

Although About You offers fewer advertising options than marketplaces like Zalando, there are several impactful brand- and performance-driven placements. Homepage exposure, category visibility and product carousels can significantly increase reach and relevance. We build data-driven campaigns aligned with your goals and analyse continuously what resonates with About You’s audience.
