goooods 編集部
3/26/25Publish
The secret to creating a site that takes advantage of the lineup specializing in fermentation and the strengths of original products
The fourth interview project with buyers who use goods is the first EC site buyer.
 
Among the many e-commerce sites, "Natural Food Store Monoel -naturi-", which was released in 2022, is a shopping site that has a middle-class customer and boasts 11,000 PVs per month for related columns.
 
In the interview, we asked Sachiko Otsubo, the representative of the company, about the operation of the e-commerce site and various ideas as a buyer.
 
Thoughts on the company's own brand that led to the launch of the site. There is a lot of content, such as creating attractive pages and SEO measures that make use of my experience in the advertising industry for a long time, ingenuity in shopping around, how to connect with customers, division of work with staff, rules that are decided when purchasing, etc.
 
 
[Store information]
 
In 2019, he established Cocory Co., Ltd. and opened the e-commerce site "Pinto Glass Authorized Distributor shop Monoel". Started planning and selling our own products, pre-sales of "Fermented Wisdom Instant Yogurt" and started operation of the official brand site. After that, he started the e-commerce site "Natural Food Store Monoel -naturi-" in 2022.
Currently, we are running multiple owned media such as "Fashionable Middle by Shop Monoel" with a staff of 5.

The first important thing on an e-commerce site is to create a worldview

 
"Natural food store Monoel -naturi-" handles many health foods that are particular about "not putting unnecessary things in it".
 
"In the case of an e-commerce site, I think it's important to create a world view that says, 'This is what we do.' All of our staff are working together to provide information that is good for the mind and body that can be eaten with peace of mind every day, and to help everyone with their health."
 
In 2022, the original product "The Wisdom of Fermentation Instant Yogurtwas pre-sold through crowdfunding.
 
"Sakiki is a vegetable born in Kyoto, which was once said to be out of the gate, and during the pickling process, powerful plant-derived lactic acid bacteria are produced that can survive even with strong salt, and they are very easily absorbed by the intestines of Japan. It contains inulin, which is rich in dietary fiber, and fructooligosaccharides, which reach the large intestine without being decomposed, so it affects the good bacteria in the intestines and supports the health of the stomach."
 
"We live in an era where we can easily shop on Rakuten and Amazon, so I think it's very important to have our own products and strengths.
 
 
With the aim of further increasing our strengths in the future, we are planning the next product development.
 
"Next to 'instant yogurt', a powdered lactic acid bacteria supplement that can be easily ingested by simply dissolving it in drinks or sprinkling it on meals.Lactic acid bacteria powderIt is made with a focus on being allergy-free and additive-free, and contains 100 billion plant-based lactic acid bacteria (SUGUKI lactic acid bacteria SOY-1®) per packet.
 
"I'd like to make other original products, and I'd like to do dried glue next, but it's quite difficult to do fungus-based OEM, and I'm at a bit of a standstill. I want to make good things while looking at other things."

Good eye-catching conductor from inlet to outlet

 
The first thing you see when you open the page is the banner, which is linked to new products and special products according to the season.
While focusing on its own site, you can choose to purchase from other sites such as Rakuten and Amazon from the cart.
 
I've been in the Internet advertising industry for a long time, so I have basic know-how on SEO measures, products to put on product pages, and how to present them, and our staff is strong in such creatives. For the products we focus on, we create product images and pay attention to the order of the thumbnails to make the products look more attractive."
 
"We always want to make our company stronger, so we set low shipping costs. More than half of the sales are sold on Rakuten and other sites. For customers, it is troublesome to enter the address, and it is cheap on sale, so there are many people who inevitably go there."
 
"However, we don't want to lose out to other stores in the mall shop, so we are creating a flow where people can see it in-house and buy it on Rakuten or Amazon."
 
 
The design and amount of information are completely different between the company's website and the mall system.
 
"Our company values a worldview and makes it clear and easy to understand. Our company, Rakuten, Amazon, etc., each have different things to sell and the timing of sales, so we divide the person in charge and let them proceed almost at their own discretion."

Existence of owned media that connects with customers in multiple directions

 
One of the most common concerns about running an e-commerce site is "acquiring new customers". Monoel -naturi- operates multiple owned media together, strengthens SEO by creating articles that lead to products, and continuously acquires new customers. In addition, we have achieved over 10,000 PVs per month for three owned media.
 
"I'm doing a lot of SEO and I often write articles about my products, and I make sure that when I search for keywords such as materials I handle, my blog posts on the site come up at the top of the search."
 
"There is also an information media site for middle-aged people who care about health, beauty, and fashion called 'Fashionable Middle by Shop Monoel,' where we create introductions and reading materials not only about our own products, but also about health foods."
 
"We also send e-mail newsletters and Rakuten's LINE, but we are conscious of not just issuing coupons, but rather making sure that they are not just advertisements, such as 'It's this season,' or 'I've started a medicinal meal,' or something that can be easily read so that it sticks with the reader."
 

Purchasing what customers want and can buy around

 
In addition to original products, "Natural Food Store Monoel -naturi-" handles about 120 items, including products purchased through goods and items purchased through direct transactions.
 
"We have a wide variety of products, but we have limited resources so we have a limited number of products that we can hold. Over time, we had what we had left in our basket, and that's how the store came to be."
 
"The shop's customer base is mainly women in their 40s ~ 50s, and there are many people who want high-quality products rather than cheap ones. Sometimes I find them, and sometimes I put in things that the staff has found."
 
"We mainly deal in food, but we also sell kitchen goods as a derivative of that. But we limit ourselves to special items that you can't get at 100 yen shops."
 
 
Even if you come across an ideal product, if the conditions such as the multiplication rate do not match, it will not be handled without exception.
 
"In the case of e-commerce, shipping costs are inevitably a bottleneck, so we do not handle products with a multiplication rate of 70% or more at the moment, and we do not purchase products that are sold on other sites or products with a shelf life of half a year or less because there is a high risk that they will be cut off by the warehouse management of the mall."

Purchasing goods is easy to try and error.

 
At Monoel, we carefully select the products in the basket, which is limited as a site, and we are always looking for new products.
 
"There are a lot of good goods, so I think it's important to look for them without blurring.
 
"When negotiating purchases through direct transactions, there are exchanges with the other party such as 'Let me purchase it' and 'What are the conditions,' and there are various invoices, but when purchasing with goods, there is no such thing.
 
"There are a lot of brands that can be purchased in small lots, so I'm a little sorry, but even if it doesn't sell, I just don't have to order it again."
