Selling On Marketplaces

EcomChat on Monday 18th October 2021 is on the topic of Ecommerce Marketplaces. Linnworks consumer research found that nine out of 10 shoppers regularly started product searches on marketplaces, while figures from Mirakl show marketplaces grew 80% in the final quarter of 2020, twice the growth rate of other ecommerce channels.

Today’s chat will explore what selling through marketplaces really means and how to use this channel sensibly to help grow your business.

As ever, there will be 3 loose questions to guide us through.

1. Is marketplace selling relevant to all businesses?
2. How do you decide where to sell & what are the golden rules for selling effectively through major marketplaces?
3. What are the pros and cons of launching your own marketplace vs. using major platforms?

Do join us on Twitter using the #ecomchat hashtag.
