There are just a few days left to take advantage of the discounted rate for attending the upcoming five-part Deep Dive webinar series looking at strategies to grow your business on marketplace platforms.
The sessions – which will take place on 8 June, 23 June, 29 September, 27 October and 23 November 2022 – are being co-hosted by OPI and marketplace specialist TFE.Agency. They will also feature input from several fast-growing European marketplace players such as OnBuy and Conrad.
One topic of the programme will be how to reduce dependence on Amazon and take advantage of the wider marketplace channel opportunity. Even though Amazon has a significant share of 25% in a European marketplace market estimated to be worth more than €200 billion ($215 billion), its share is actually falling.
As TFE.Agency Managing Director Bob Boekema says, this is not because Amazon’s sales are declining. On the contrary, but the overall channel is growing at an even faster pace, leaving 75% of relatively untapped opportunity to chase.
“Amazon’s market position differs heavily per market,” he notes. “Whereas it is dominant in the UK and Germany, it’s a ‘small play’ in countries such as Sweden, Poland and Benelux, especially in comparison with local leaders.”
He continues: “The long-term growth of marketplaces has been – and will be – in the double digits. What’s more, B2B marketplaces and initiatives such as procurement marketplaces are on the rise.”
Chris Exner, OPI’s Commercial Director adds: “Many companies have grown increasingly dependent on Amazon and will be looking for strategies to diversify and explore new sales channels. This is a totally different way of selling as well as marketing, and I am amazed at how much there is to consider, learn and do. This insightful five-part series masterclass is a perfect way of starting this journey in a meaningful way.”
