Buzzvel’s E-commerce Expertise Drives Miss Can’s Rise in the U.S. Market

Expanding into the U.S. market can be a daunting challenge for any business, especially for international brands looking to carve out a niche. For Miss Can, a premium Portuguese seafood brand celebrated for its high-quality canned products, the task was monumental. To successfully enter the U.S. market and build a loyal following, Miss Can turned to Buzzvel, a creative technology agency with a proven track record in digital transformation and e-commerce innovation.

How did Buzzvel help this gourmet brand shine in one of the most competitive markets? By crafting a tailored e-commerce platform and facilitating strategic partnerships that not only met but exceeded expectations.

Understanding Miss Can and Tin2Table

Miss Can has long stood out as a leader in the Portuguese canned seafood market, combining artisan craftsmanship with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The brand’s focus on quality and heritage resonates deeply with consumers in Europe, but breaking into the U.S. market presented a different set of challenges.

At the same time, Tin2Table, a leading U.S.-based specialty food distributor, aimed to expand its portfolio of premium, environmentally friendly products. This alignment of values set the stage for a successful partnership.

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring products met U.S. food safety and labeling standards.

• Digital Transformation: Launching a robust and consumer-friendly online presence.

• Distribution Strategy: Building the right partnerships for effective outreach to retail and ecommerce channels.

Overcoming these hurdles required a partner with expertise in digital commerce, branding, and strategic planning—this is where Buzzvel excelled.
