In November, mail-order club Homeenter started selling Lego to its club members. The toy was added to Homeenter's existing roster, which includes other well-known brands such as Disney and Hello Kitty. 

"We want to have high-quality products and strong brands sell well," says Karin Rydberg, sales director at Homeenter.

Taking care of customers in an age where social media has grown exponentially means taking risks. So in April 2010 when Swedish mail-order club company Homeenter first started up its Facebook page, it was no spur-of-the moment decision. "We started three months before and spent a lot of time making sure we did it right," says Åsa Lorentzson, service director at Homeenter. And it shows.

Consumer interest in exclusive chocolate has blossomed in recent years. So when online video, music and game club Homeenter AB started a cooperation in 2008 with Malmö Chokladfabrik - Malmö Chocolate Factory - the success came as no surprise. Today the chocolate club has nearly 10,000 members in Sweden and Denmark.

Hey y'all, over there! Three weeks ago I left Malmo, Sweden and my job at Homeenter, the Nordic countries' largest Film, Music and Children's Film Club. In Malmo, I mainly work with the development and planning of our Collectables Series and with printed media such as direct mail, inserts, ads and other print activities.
