Marketplaces

While commerce continues to grow at a steady rate across the globe, leading marketplaces—the likes of ASOS, Zalando and Amazon—are further outpacing market growth averages. 53% of online shoppers are making purchases on marketplaces three or more times per month. One in five people gathers information on Amazon before making an in-store purchase. And Amazon isn’t the only big player on the marketplace scene: Alibaba, AliExpress, Bol.com, OTTO, and even eBay to name just a few. Digital marketplaces are ubiquitous, and their presence is growing steadily.

Marketplaces can, therefore, offer you access to a huge base of both existing and new customers. Unsure where to start? Wondering about the best pricing strategy or how to stay on brand? We’re happy to help you get started or to get further.

Dive into Amazon

As we speak, 84% of online shoppers have an Amazon account. Being able to work your way up in the most innovative and fastest-growing online marketplace isn’t rocket science, but coming out on top requires expertise in the field of Amazon—in product data and content, in Amazon advertising, as well as in account handling and sales excellence.
