Apitherapy Case Study

Apiterhapy logoApitherapy is an online vendor of Royal Jelly, bee pollen, Propolis, Apimist, homeopathic and nutritionalist products, sourced naturally from natural products produced by bees.

Having enjoyed great success in the UK market, Apitherapy decided that the German marketplace could hold more opportunities for business development and company growth. The time was right to create an international online presence by translating part of their e-commerce website into German using Web-Translations’ SAL service, which allowed Apitherapy to test the market before getting the whole site translated. Their aim was to drive business growth by localising the key areas of the website and advertising their products in this major European market.

With the help of Web-Translations, the German Apitherapy website was successfully launched within weeks and included an OS commerce application and a capacity to handle international credit card transactions using World Pay. Web-Translations offered a dedicated Technical Project Manager to ensure this was implemented and tested to Apitherapy’s satisfaction, ensuring customers could order as soon as the site went live!
