How to Expand to Online Marketplaces as a Small Business Owner
2023-03-15
Running an online store is a great way to grow revenue and reach more customers. But expanding to online marketplaces can give you access to even more potential customers and increase sales.
In this podcast, we'll explore the advice of Ben Jones from Codisto on how to maximize success when expanding to services like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.
Why You Should Go Omnichannel
If you really want to increase sales, you need to go omnichannel. That means being present for your customers no matter where they prefer to shop, be it on Amazon, eBay, or Walmart.
Increasing Your Brand Visibility with Marketplaces
It costs a lot of money to advertise on Google and Facebook to reach new customers. A marketplace has a different model. Your brand will be organically discovered by people that prefer to shop on marketplaces only—shoppers that you normally wouldn’t reach.
What Marketplace Should You Choose?
Even though marketplaces differ, Ben Jones sees value in every marketplace for every business and encourages you to sell everywhere.
For example, you can use eBay as a clearance channel to sell deadstock at a sale price. At the same time, you can sell your bestsellers on Amazon and test the waters on the less competitive Walmart marketplace.
