In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Tom and Natalie Hintze from Mr Pool Man. These two siblings have taken their dad’s pool store and transformed it into an eCommerce powerhouse which has disrupted the very slow moving world of pool parts and accessories. Tom and Nat discuss everything from split testing free shipping to manufacturing their own product to qualifying for B Corp status and share heaps of coal-face tips on what it takes to transition bricks and mortar to an eCommerce model. They are hilariously honest about their mistakes and see these as an integral part of their journey to success.
