Due to the closedown of brick & mortar stores, online sales have grown enormously. Marketplaces have become indispensable within the new omnichannel landscape. Initially, large platforms took a position in becoming a marketplace, but recently also major brands are evolving in that direction. And for a reason. Brands have discovered that marketplaces can help them streamline their operational process and gain more brand exposure to the right audience.
Driving website traffic
Typically, marketplaces invest considerable effort in driving website traffic. With a strong brand name and attractive products, their brand will help increase traffic towards those marketplaces. Subsequently, the marketplaces will make sure there is sufficient attention and visibility of these brands since it boosts traffic on their site. Branded products will be displayed on their homepage, newsletters will mention the brand’s products, and coupons or upselling next best offers will include the branded product range. Also, brands, like example Mango, have recently opened up their online selling channel to third-party brands in order to increase their commercial offer in complementary product categories.
