How to become a marketplace operator

and why it pays off

Get off to a flying start as a marketplace operator in e-commerce

Unprecedented opportunities for your marketplace strategy

Amazon's market power is a force in e-commerce. Almost two-thirds of all online retailers generate around 30 percent of their sales on marketplaces. And the trend is rising! So why not profit from this trend and launch a marketplace yourself?

The lockdowns of recent years have given the digital sales model "marketplace" a new lease of life. Marketplace operators countered the death of stores in numerous regions with creativity and diversity on the Internet. To the advantage of local retailers and for customers who wanted to remain loyal to their favorite retailer around the corner. Quite incidentally, completely new target groups were gained in online retailing via these marketplaces. Digital shopping is growing through marketplaces, creating regional cohesion and bringing forth new, digital incentives to buy.

We help you, in cooperation with our partner and marketplace expert DIXENO, to become a marketplace operator yourself.

Advantages and potentials for you as a marketplace operator

  • You present more products in breadth and depth than in an online shop

  • You establish and strengthen ties with suppliers and the competition
  • A marketplace offers many opportunities for stable sales
  • Diverse brands come together under one roof and create added value for customers and retailers alike
  • Despite the diversity, marketplaces allow specialization for certain topics and offer know-how
  • You learn from your own data and optimize your offer accordingly in the long term
