Make Your Marketcube Marketplace Stand Out

The arrival of the online marketplace has helped many small businesses and entrepreneurs sell their products over the last decade. There is no longer a need to create your own online store. Ready-made channels are available to sell your products coupled with the ability to operate around the clock. This means that for small businesses it gives them opportunity to scale fast.

However, with this increase in more opportunities, comes more competition. If you want to make sure your platform connects with sellers in the most powerful way possible, you’ll need to stand out from the crowd.

Follow our tips below for practical advice on how to make your marketplace stand out!

Tell a story

If you are just starting out, telling a story is one of the best ways to communicate with your customers what your business is about and how your service/product can help them. Some starting points that can help write a compelling narrative is to identify why you started your business, your core values, and the inspiration for starting your marketplace. These are all details that get customers interested, engaged, and connected to a business.

Use high quality images

They say you only get one chance to make a first impression. For the customer visiting your marketplace, imagery crucial. In the highly visual online world, high-quality imagery can make or break how people perceive your online marketplace.

The more time and effort you put into making sure your images are of the highest possible quality, the higher the return on investment you're likely to enjoy. Also it is good practice to keep in mind most people will be viewing your product on a mobile device, so placing the product image correctly is key to making it stand out as they scroll.

Find niche, unique and trending products

If you want to attract a wide portfolio of vendors to your online marketplace, you're going to have to prove it's a viable platform. That often means showcasing its value by finding niche, unique, and trending products to sell yourself. Other online marketplaces are a great way to find out what products are selling online. For example, AliExpress and Amazon are great places to find products that are selling fast from their best sellers page.

Choose the right marketing channels

Taking your online marketplace to the next level above the competition is about finding the right growth channels and knowing how to use them to your advantage. Incorporating an online review system can be highly valuable. Most consumers will not buy something online without at least having checked though for reviews and star ratings. Having a review system in place helps to create trust in the absence of being able to strike up an in person two-way conversation. For this reason, it's crucial to place customer testimonials or user-generated content within your online marketplace.
