The world of e-commerce is evolving at lightning speed, and marketplaces like Bol. are at the forefront of this transformation. At 10XCREW, we help brands navigate this ever-changing landscape, and our expert team is dedicated to making marketplace growth scalable and sustainable. One of the key figures behind our success is Emile Valkestijn, a true marketplace strategist and advocate for smart, data-driven growth.
From Industry Veteran to Marketplace Growth Leader
Emile Valkestijn, a well-known name in the marketplace industry, has been shaping the future of e-commerce for years. With experience in both retail and marketplaces, he has developed a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed. His journey started with a fascination for digital commerce, but his expertise has grown into something far more impactful: helping brands maximize their potential in the complex world of online marketplaces.
At 10XCREW, Emile and the team focus on empowering brands to build sustainable marketplace strategies. Instead of short-term wins, the emphasis is on long-term scalability, automation, and operational excellence. "Success on marketplaces is not just about selling products; it’s about making the entire ecosystem work for you," says Emile.
Bol. and the Marketplace Revolution
One of the key marketplaces that 10XCREW specializes in is Bol., the leading online retailer in the Netherlands and Belgium. Bol. has become an essential growth channel for brands, but the competition is fierce. Emile and the 10XCREW team understand the dynamics of this marketplace better than anyone.
According to Emile, success on Bol. is not just about having the right products but about understanding the platform’s algorithm, customer behavior, and logistics. "The biggest challenge for many brands is not listing their products but ensuring they have a scalable operational model that keeps up with demand," he explains.
The 10XCREW Approach: Scaling Smartly
10XCREW takes a hands-on, data-driven approach to marketplace success. We don’t just provide advice—we build the infrastructure that brands need to scale efficiently. This means integrating automation tools, optimizing advertising spend, and fine-tuning logistics to ensure long-term profitability.
For Emile, the biggest misconception about marketplaces is that they are just sales channels. "Marketplaces are ecosystems. If you treat them as just another store, you’re missing the bigger picture. You need to leverage data, logistics, and customer engagement to truly grow," he emphasizes.
What’s Next for 10XCREW?
As the marketplace landscape continues to evolve, 10XCREW is committed to staying ahead of the curve. Emile and the team are constantly exploring new ways to optimize marketplace growth, whether through AI-driven automation, innovative ad strategies, or enhanced fulfillment models.
For brands looking to scale on marketplaces like Bol., Amazon, and beyond, 10XCREW is the go-to partner for smart, sustainable growth. "We’re not here for quick wins—we’re here to build something that lasts," says Emile.
