The expansion strategy of Mango’s e-commerce is based on localisation: entering new markets, adapting the services to the needs and customs of the customers in each region. Currently, the website is translated into 28 languages, with different payment, delivery and returns methods (among others) according to each location.
“The enlargement of our online store in some 20 markets is a major step forward in our internationalisation strategy to take our value proposal to the entire world,” Mango’s online and customer director, Elena Carasso, explains.
“Opening up our e-commerce in various countries in Africa, especially in ones in which we do not have a presence, will not only allow us to gain knowledge of the market, but also strengthen our capacity to satisfy the needs of our customers in each territory”.
In May, Mango announced it plans to open over 15 new stores throughout the US in 2023, and the retailer has its sights set on having 40 in the country by 2024 as part of its wider goal of making it a key market in the coming years.
