Questions for the panel

Please briefly substantiate the 2-3 topics or questions as in pkt. 4 is in point form only.

1.B2C online marketing of sensitive products.

CBD stems from the cannabis-sort hemp. The company products are 0.0% THC, i.e. will not make you high. However CBD is still categorized as sensitive products similarly to gambling, knives, etc. This brings its own set of advantages and disadvantages when marketing.

It could be interesting with panel experience in this and/or the B2C nutritional suppliments e-commerce market.

2.Experience with GOMPs (Global Online Marketing Places)

An important part of the company sales strategy is listing products on relevant online market plac-es. The company is disregarding Amazon at this stage but expects to list at a couple of GOMPs in Germany.

It could be great with panel experience in optimizing the use of online marketing places as part of the sales strategy.

3.How to quickly scale while always delivering a delightful customer experience.

B2C online customer journey design and implementation would be great to have on the panel.

How can the company best steer and control the optimal customer experience?
