Working in a startup!

Working in a project since the beginning, allow you to learn many different things through the way. I have to thank to Neopost for giving me this opportunity a few months ago. Neopost is located in Drachten, in the Netherlands, and it is the first supplier in Europe and the number two in the world in mailing solutions.

This year the company decided to start a new challenge... the introduction in the field of shipping and parcels, offering a new solution for e-commerce.

Due to this kind of companies is gaining more and more importance, Neopost is working in a new service for them, an automatic gift wrapping machine for they can provide to their customers personalized gifts wrapping.

My role in this project has to see with activities of market research, marketing campaigns, sales and customer relationships. First of all, I did a market research to see which are the most promising ones to introduce this kind of machine, then I contacted with a lot of companies and after getting some of them interested, I worked in marketing activities, doing, among other things, brochures, a website and some profiles in differents social networks sites.

I am very happy with this internship, I am learning a lot about editing tools, how to do a market research (or even a website), the best ways (and manners) to get in contact with potential customers and the last but not least is that I am improving a little bit more my English level, and all this, meanwhile I live in the Netherlands, in a country that I love since my Erasmus year.
