Merchandising - Merchandising Blitsy Employee Review

I apologize it has taken so long to respond to this review as we recently discovered it on Glassdoor. A lot has changed since this review was written and these opinions give us a chance to share a different perspective. We do agree with some of the review and appreciate the callout regarding fun people and great tech! I'd estimate that at the time this review was written, we were still utilizing a number of 3rd party software tools that were not designed specifically for Blitsy and so there was a lot of files management required as we went back and forth with many different vendors who were not used to selling online. This required a good amount of data entry on our end and often times meant we were updating descriptions and doing other work in excel that felt archaic (to everyone here, not just the reviewer who may have had a heavy hand in excel). Today, we are mostly using in-house software we've developed with this type of feedback in mind and our workflows are greatly improved + simplified. A lot of the creativity to date has been what's difficult to see from the outside looking in as the vision has been to build a completely custom eCommerce platform that can support multiple brands under one roof. And it's working! We strive to market the most prominent brands and best-selling products available at stores or online within the arts and crafts industry and we've remained true to these company's roots of remaining focused solely expanding our reach within the arts and crafts industry. And we think it's worth noting that our startup mentality beyond building end-to-end eCommerce tech and services was based on supporting up-and-coming brands that weren't getting representation in big box stores and/or mass merchants. We're very supportive of newness and innovative creators and agree that the industry needs more innovation and creativity. We will continue to strive to be better and thank you for the contributions you provided while with us while you were on the team. We wish you the best. Regards, Ross
