What Web Retailer does

Webretailer (legal entity Adventrum AB, Sweden; trading as webretailer.com) is a niche B2B content and media platform serving online sellers who operate primarily on Amazon and eBay marketplaces, with a stated primary audience of USA-based sellers and reach from individual home-based sellers to multinational brands. The platform publishes software and service reviews, educational guides, original market research reports, free business calculators (Amazon FBA, eBay Fee, Etsy Fee, etc.), a weekly eCommerce news digest, and a dedicated AI in Retail content vertical, distributed via a web property, weekly newsletter, and five social channels aggregating 18.2K followers. Average monthly traffic is reported at 140K pageviews with 10K newsletter subscribers.

Underlying technology is a conventional web content management system (WordPress-class, based on the /wp-content/ asset paths observed on the site) with no app, no public API, and no proprietary software product. Webretailer is a trading name of Adventrum AB, a Swedish private limited company formed through a series of acquisitions in late 2020 and now part of the Marketzoo Performance Marketing Group. The main operating office is in Hitchin, England, with a small core team of 1-10 employees supported by a network of freelance contributors and industry reviewers.

The business model is content-led and entirely free to readers. Webretailer monetizes through two revenue streams: (1) affiliate referral commissions via the Amazon Associates Program and the eBay Partner Network when readers click outbound links and complete qualifying purchases, and (2) display advertising and clearly labelled sponsored posts. The company has no outside investors, is self-funded, and provides no paid product or subscription. Leadership comprises founder and editor-in-chief Andy Geldman alongside an Adventrum management team headed by CEO Kristoffer Lindström.
