Mysoda, a Nordic brand known for its stylish sparkling water makers and innovative CO₂ solutions, identified exciting opportunities to expand into the US and UK markets. With a focus on blending Nordic design and everyday practicality, Mysoda offers appliances that stand out for their simplicity and elegance. By incorporating thoughtful materials like renewable wood composites, the brand appeals to consumers looking for smarter, more refined alternatives in their homes.
While the US and UK offered substantial growth potential in the home and kitchen category on Amazon, these markets also presented significant challenges in logistics, platform intricacies, and customer engagement.
