Main description
This is an enterprise set up by Swedish entrepreneur Niklas Gustafson in Madrid, that started out selling ink and cartridge replacements on-line, and has now diversified into selling computer hardware like tablets and net-books.
It operates in several European countries now, and appears to have the flexibility to change to the growing e-commerce sector's needs.
Niklas is not a man to be trifled with - he's a keen Ironman cometitor - and I'm confident he'll do what it takes to keep succeeding.

| 2009-02-04 | Full article via web link | loogic.com | En varias ocasiones me he topado con la web conZumo que vende cartuchos y toners para impresora con un 75% de descuento sobre los de las marcas oficiales. Ahora he recibido un email de la empresa donde me dan más información y he pensado que podía ser interesante para todos. Como supongo que sabéis la tinta para impresoras se paga “a precio de oro” por eso es normal que hayan proliferado tiendas que venden o rellenan cartuchos para ahorrar en costes y también con cierto sentido ecológico por el tema de reciclar los cartuchos o toners. Además de las tiendas a pie de calle otras como conZumo se han especializado en la venta por internet. Algunas cifras sobre el negocio de conZumo, su web recibe 40.000 usuarios únicos al mes y genera una facturación de 50.000 euros mensuales, lo que representa el 60% de volumen total de ventas. El resto del negocio, un 40% es realizado con la venta telefónica, grandes cuentas y servicios especiales. Para diversificar su vías de negocio han empezado a vender Netbooks, el gadget de moda. Our translation: On several occasions I have found the web conZumo selling printer cartridges and toners with a 75% discount on the official marks. Now I received an email from the company where I get more information and I thought it might be interesting for everyone. As I guess you know printer ink can cost "as much as gold" so it's understandable that stores have sprung up that sell or refill cartridges to save on costs and also help in the environmental sense when recycling cartridges and toners. In addition to the high street shops enterprises like conZumo and others have specialized in selling online. Here are some figures on conZumo’s business: their site gets 40,000 unique users per month and generates a turnover of 50,000 euros per month, representing 60% of total sales. The rest of the business, 40% is done by telephone sales, corporate accounts and special services. To diversify its lines of business they have begun selling Netbooks, the gadget of the day. |
