When people were still locked up in their homes, there was nothing else to do except spend time doing leisurely activities to pass the time. The video game industry, in particular, massively thrived in this downtime, with Verizon estimating a 75% boost of video game usage in March. Unfortunately, old and new gamers alike could not source their much-desired gaming accessories due to the halt in-store operations. Fortunately for Luca Schneltzer, he saw this gap and decided to fill it in his latest business venture: Gamer Gear.
Luca Schnetzler is the founder and CEO of LPT Holdings, a company investing in “cool” and culturally relevant Gen Z-centric businesses. Today, he is embarking on his latest venture: the aptly named Gamer Gear, a one-stop e-commerce shop for all gaming necessities. The gaming industry has become largely underserved amid the pandemic, as lockdowns forced store closures.
“I saw a huge market opportunity in the niche,” Luca says. “Nobody has yet to build something that fulfills every gamer’s need that is also cool.” So he integrated the coolness factor into gaming accessories and other needs and came up with Gamer Gear.
The world’s gaming population is massive, and nothing is lost in building good social networks. In fact, a strong online community can contribute to better gaming experiences, both for casual and competitive players alike. The company’s unique approach is building a strong, friendly community for everything video game-related, which will make all new members feel welcome.
Gaming can become an intense affair when gamers of different beliefs concerning game and console superiority, gameplay technique, and other related matters begin to clash. While that dissonance is something that cannot be eliminated, the community is one that does not tolerate aggression among its members.
As a community-driven enterprise, the company places great value on making customer service the number one priority as well. This encompasses several things: exemplary customer service, product integrity, and customer experience both pre- and post-purchase. This is already more than what can be said about other gaming supply chains, which typically pay particular attention to product quality and not much else.
Gamer Gear takes great pride in the premium experience through product quality, customer service, and the online community. It is shooting straight for the top and aims to become the number one e-commerce destination for all gamers.
Luca Schnetzler is a serial entrepreneur who founded Gamer Gear as his second enterprise after seeing his first success. LPT Holdings is a company dedicated to supporting young entrepreneur-led businesses that are promising in terms of their potential impact on society and startups that give life to novel ideas that promote diversity and inclusivity.
