How do I get maximum return from online marketplaces?
Wholesaler, retailer or manufacturer, Ecommerce Result boosts your business. From strategy to solution – increase your sales via online marketplaces.
In addition to operating your own webshop, you want to generate revenue through additional digital sales channels. Online marketplaces in particular have the potential for extreme growth in the number of visitors and sales. There are many online marketplaces, inside and outside Europe. The most famous are Amazon, AliBaba, Bol.com, Fruugo, Wish† And they increasingly open their own webshop to third parties. Bol.com, Wehkamp and Fonq led the way, but smaller niche players such as Kleertjes.com also believe in the model of online marketplaces.
Due to the arrival of Amazon in the Netherlands and Belgium, important shifts are occurring in the online landscape, which was previously so clearly divided between a few superpowers and a lot of small players. What is the impact of this on your company? What are the opportunities and challenges for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and brands? The number of marketplaces that offer new revenue and growth opportunities is increasing. The picture of Twinkle Magazine provides a good overview of the current relevant players on the European market. Doing business with online marketplaces is not just a matter of distribution strategy, but also smart systems that keep your costs to a minimum and increase your sales volumes and turnover.
For retailers
For wholesalers
Wholesalers often have a long history and often work through traditional, fixed sales channels. But the world has also changed significantly for wholesalers due to the internet and giants such as Amazon and AliBaba. Due to the transparency and price pressure, more and more resellers are wondering whether they can fulfill the role of wholesaler themselves. The internet also makes manufacturers more accessible. As a result, the role of wholesalers in the distribution chain is diminishing or even disappearing. The wholesaler in its traditional function as a conduit sooner or later will no longer have a right to exist. That is why more and more wholesalers are rethinking their distribution strategy. Increasingly, they are selling directly to end users through online channels. In addition, marketplaces are the most used channels. Of course, this should be done carefully to avoid problems with existing resellers. Sometimes channel conflicts arise, but they can often be resolved. There are opportunities for every wholesaler to sell worldwide. With a good distribution strategy, an IT platform and organizational changes, you are ready for new wholesale roles.

Paying too much, not enough functionalities, no development freedom, too complex or not the right integration options with other systems. Not to mention implementation partners......
