ProMerit all started with an intuition…
Dave St-Gelais and Jonathan Boulanger met through work in 2014. Both marketing experts, they combined their experience in SMEs and new technologies. They quickly hit it off, and found they shared the same ambition: assisting trademark owners in achieving success on the major online sales platforms.
At the time, Canada was only just realizing the enormous business potential offered by major retailers on the internet. Dave and Jonathan saw the wave coming. While analyzing sites such as Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and Costco, one question arose: why were all the available products sold mostly by large companies? The absence of SMEs was conspicuous, despite their high-quality offerings.
The reason, is that using these networks requires advanced expertise. The two partners developed a business model to allow companies of all sizes to access this enormous consumer base, without the need to recruit internal specialists, invest significant time, or incur financial risk. And so, ProMerit was born in June of 2015.
Today, Dave Saint-Gelais and Jonathan Boulanger head up a team of 15 people, managing a portfolio of over 50 brands. The larger the e-commerce world grows, the harder it is to carve out a place in it. ProMerit addresses this challenge with a constant focus on its primary goal: creating added value for its partner companies.
