Grow your sales on retailer and marketplace sites

Retailers and marketplaces offer a great path to market for reaching new audiences and growing your sales.

Find the right mix of sales channels that works for your business

Depending on the types of products you sell, it might make more sense to diversify your strategy by selling wholesale to retailers or direct to consumers on marketplace sites.

Each has its pros and cons, and a combination of both is usually the best decision to maximize exposure to new customers and grow your sales.

Top challenges that make it difficult to sell on retailers or marketplaces

Unique requirements for each channel

Each retailer and marketplace has its own requirements, requiring teams to add new attributes or update their product data in order to get accepted

Changing requirements

These requirements can change frequently (hundreds of times/year for the largest retailers), making it nearly impossible to keep your products accurate and up-to-date on each site

Manual operations

For many teams, the primary method for adding/updating products is through manual uploads or updating product detail pages individually in the marketplace’s admin portal

Internal operational inefficiencies

Many companies have separate teams and separate technologies to help manage, enrich, and syndicate product data to all of their sales channels – leading to duplicate efforts and/or incomplete data

Competition

With lots of competition on these general retailer and marketplace channels, there is an additional need to stand out and ensure products are always accurate and constantly updated
