We had an opportunity to work with Letoshop which wanted to join forces with Oka\u00efdi as it was impressed with the brand&#8217;s strong international identity. This also helped it expand its product range which only catered to 0-5-year-olds. Thanks to Oka\u00efdi, it can now attract parents of older children up to age 12 \u2013 a whole new customer base. We&#8217;re supporting them with their strategic change in positioning. Our brand is still relatively unknown in Greece, but early feedback has been very encouraging with comments such as \u2018quality products\u2019, \u2018modern\u2019 and \u2018timeless\u2019. The quality and attractiveness of our products give us a strong competitive edge. More store openings are planned for the second half of 2018, and stage two will involve opening stores in Greek shopping centres to raise Oka\u00efdi&#8217;s profile even higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>St\u00e9phanie, Oka\u00efdi store manager, Strasbourg<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cOur Greek adventure started with a traditional training course when Maria visited our Strasbourg Rivetoile store in the middle of February. My first English lessons had already been quite a challenge. Supporting Maria in Greece was even more incredible! We were able to put everything we saw together into practice and train the team in Peristeri. We shared information, listened to each other, supported each other and laughed a lot together! It was a very educational experience with a strong message: if you can make the work meaningful for your staff, you can move mountains!\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Maria, brand manager, Greece<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m really grateful for this great experience. Seeing how such a well-organized company works and how its brands are growing internationally was incredible. For me, the most important part of this experience was meeting such fantastic people. My first contact with Oka\u00efdi was through St\u00e9phanie who trained me and taught me everything I needed to know about the brand. She&#8217;s a wonderful person and very well organized with the perseverance and patience to communicate her knowledge. These store openings have boosted my skills and I really bonded with my colleagues. Oka\u00efdi is more than a big brand \u2013 it&#8217;s a community that connects with people working together for the same purpose: to build a better world and a brighter future for our children.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greece is new territory for the \u00cfDKIDS community.
