LAUNCH AND SCALE YOUR BUSINESS WITH MARKETPLACER’S MARKETPLACE WEBSITE BUILDER

Marketplace websites are so successful because they offer both sellers and buyers convenience, and this convenience comes largely in the form of saving both time and money. One of the biggest successes of marketplace websites is their ability to help sellers reach a wide variety of customers while reducing the burden on sellers to compete at the same scale. What we love about marketplace platforms is that they connect people and cultivate a community.  Whether it’s an online service marketplace, a product marketplace, or a hybrid of the two – a sense of community makes marketplaces more likely to succeed in the long term.

Customers are looking for convenience; if a marketplace can offer and solve several needs in one place, they’ll be more likely to return and even recommend you to their networks. We’re time-poor these days, and cutting out the noise when it comes to making purchases of products or services saves people this valuable resource. See what our marketplace website builder can do for your business.

There’s no secret sauce when it comes to making a good marketplace website, but in our experience, there are a few things that will ensure you’re on your way to establishing an excellent marketplace.

Know your stakeholders
Knowing who you’re trying to reach (customers) and who you’re trying to support (sellers) will help you establish a strong identity and compass for your marketplace that you can return to when critical decisions need to be made. Essentially, this is your business ‘why’.

Technology and user experience
Having a great marketplace idea can be undone if the technology that underpins it is flawed or the user experience is poor and burdensome. The marketplace website builder you choose should offer a seamless technology experience for both sellers and buyers and be able to handle orders at scale with minimal friction.

Conversion
Having the most elegant marketplace website will mean nothing unless you’re able to captivate browsing customers and convert them into buying customers. This will ensure that your sellers are finding the marketplace a profitable venture and will stick around for the long term. Meanwhile, your customers will be able to experience a first-class customer experience and keep them returning.

Customer Service
We know we just mentioned this, but it deserves its own section because it’s that important. Your customers are both sellers and buyers. As a marketplace operator, your role is to ensure that both have their needs met, their voices valued, and expectations exceeded.

We feel that a marketplace builder should be as easy as possible for customers to navigate. This is why we’ve brought together a range of technology partners to ensure that our marketplace platform is a single solution. Our modular design makes building a marketplace website easy, and our technological features don’t require you to be a tech wiz.

Each customer and each marketplace is unique, and because of Marketplacer’s tailored marketplace website builder, we don’t just want to give you a timeframe for the sake of it. We can promise that being both efficient and effective underpins our process every step of the way to ensure that we aren’t cutting corners – we want to give your marketplace a solid foundation for years to come.  

Based on our experience, learnings, and collective expertise, we’ve developed a methodology that allows our customers to leverage their own comprehensive marketplace strategy. Our process involves a scoping session to learn more about your business, developing a marketplace strategy, and discovering what your core platform needs are – then we will begin the implementation.
