Session Overview
Virtual tools and online stores have not only democratized the digital shopping process for consumers, but increased their expectations for simplicity, convenience, and personalization. As the online shopping landscape continues to evolve, digital marketplaces are becoming the first place many shoppers go for research, discovery and purchase. At the most basic level, these one-stop-shops offer ease, convenience and competitive pricing but when done well, can also provide inspiration, education and personalization.

A compelling combination for customers and an increasingly important consideration for brands and sellers of any size but not without a unique set of challenges. To maximize the benefits of these platforms, businesses must determine how marketplaces fit into their broader retail strategy before choosing where, what and how they’d like to sell

Join PSFK researchers and pioneers from leading platforms and brands to hear why marketplaces should be a core aspect of a successful omnichannel approach and how to create the winning formula for gaining an audience, leveraging insights and generating sales.
