6 reasons for a vertical marketplace 

A vertical marketplace creates the opportunity to stand out from competitors and position yourself as an expert on a specific topic. Targeted communication appeals directly to the audience, and the curated offerings allow marketplace operators to align resources and processes accordingly. The result: increased customer loyalty, efficiency, and revenue.

    Successfully stand out from competitors through specialization

     

Wide range through specialization

 Customers find all products and services from a specific industry bundled on the platform. A true one-stop shop experience that makes shopping attractive and convenient!
 

Elevated SEO power

Vertical platforms with specific content achieve better SEO performance than individual online shops or general marketplaces. As a result, they rank significantly higher in search engine results.

New customer base

A niche marketplace opens up new customer groups: the chance that customers will find the right product is significantly higher due to the wide range of products in a marketplace compared to a single online shop.

Low inventory costs

By connecting third-party providers, the product range on the platform expands, preserving working capital without needing to supply all the products yourself.

Data sovereignty

 Having your own platform means data sovereignty and a deepe understanding of customer behavior. This enables you to conduct your own marketing activities effectively and efficiently, and offer advertising opportunities to third-party customers (“Retail Media”).

Stand out from the crowd!

Customer Success Story

Use Case ARS

Der Arbeitskreis Richtiges Spielzeug (ARS) is an association of 70 innovative and dedicated stationary stores for high-quality toys in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Luxembourg. The ARS lacked a cross-seller platform for presenting and selling their toys.

The result

A highly functional online marketplace that exceeded expectations right at launch. Additionally, individual sellers received personalized online shops for independent activities and to increase local visibility.

An online marketplace as an ecosystem themed "High-Quality Toys," featuring online sales, stationary stores, and services, implemented with Platoyo in just 3 months.
