A threefold increase in sales and a ‘Top Seller’ badge. How is the Bukowina Hostel boosting its sales on InPost Von Halskim?

Schronisko Bukowina is a restaurant and own-brand shop in Bukowina Tatrzańska. It sells preserves, ready meals and imported specialities, including olive oils. On InPost, Von Halski launched 4,200 products in around 5 working days, and a single offer included in a promotional campaign tripled its sales. Today, the shop also holds the Top Seller badge.

A new channel, a new source of revenue

For the Bukowina Von Halsky Shelter, this is, above all, a way of diversifying its sales. Just two years ago, a single sales channel accounted for around 90 per cent of the shop’s sales; today, that figure stands at around 50 per cent, so every new channel helps to strengthen the business’s stability.

“We want to diversify our sources of income. We believe in this project and that it has the potential to grow rapidly. On top of that, there’s no commission – that’s a real selling point.”

4,200 products added in 5 working days

The integration was carried out via Base and, as Piotr Worwa points out, it was quick. Within roughly five working days, the shop had uploaded 4,200 products to the platform.

“One definite plus is that the integration went smoothly. We were able to do everything we wanted.”

A simple dashboard, quick promotions

The seller’s dashboard also made a big impression. According to Piotr Worwa, after just a few months in operation, Von Halsky is already more intuitive than the major international e-commerce platforms, as is best illustrated by the example of promotions.

“Posting a promotion is as simple as searching for the products I want to add, setting the date and confirming. Sometimes it takes just 30 seconds. I don’t have to upload anything via Excel. On large international platforms, a similar task can mean spending several minutes battling errors.”

“For a new platform, you’ve rolled out the system very quickly, and it works really well.”

A breakthrough: one offer in the campaign, three times higher sales

The Bukowina Hostel regularly takes advantage of free promotional offers, in which it reduces prices by a selected percentage, and, together with the caretaker, submits products for the ‘deals of the day’. However, the most significant impact came from the promotional campaign in which the shop participated with its flagship product – olive oil.

“When we joined the promotional campaign with a single offer, sales tripled.”

Top Seller: a badge that translates into orders

The Bukowina Hostel has been awarded the Von Halski Award for sellers who combine strong sales with high-quality service. The badge appears next to all products and on the shop’s profile page, and when the same product is offered by several sellers, the seller holding the badge is displayed higher up.

The shop earned this reputation primarily by sticking to its stated delivery times, offering a large number of active listings, maintaining a low number of complaints and providing prompt after-sales service. The results are already evident: there are more orders.

In the last billing period, the shop delivered 100 per cent of its parcels on time.

What makes Von Halski stand out?

Piotr Worwa prioritises zero commission and what it makes possible.

“A zero commission is definitely a big selling point for you. It’s much easier to run promotions when the only cost is the postage.”

Three tips to get you started from the Bukowina Mountain Hut

Do you want to boost your sales on Von Halski? Start with these three steps:

1. Join the campaign with one compelling offer. You don’t need to promote your entire catalogue, because a single well-chosen product can triple your sales.

2. Take advantage of special offers regularly. Since adding a promotion takes up to 30 seconds, it’s worth doing it often, and the zero commission gives you the scope to do so.

3. Make sure the service is of a high standard. On-time deliveries, a low number of complaints and prompt after-sales service are the key to earning the ‘Top Seller’ badge and securing more orders.

For sellers who are undecided

And what does Piotr Worwa say to retailers who are considering setting up shop on Von Halskiego Street? He puts forward three arguments.

“Firstly, zero commission. Secondly, diversification of income sources. Thirdly, easy, quick integration and a good onboarding process.”
