Many of the most profitable, fastest growing, and valuable retailers operate a marketplace. But how does this business model generate top-line sales and bottom-line profit?

Online marketplaces have become an indispensable component of the global retail landscape. By 2024, the global online marketplace segment is expected to surpass $7 trillion, demonstrating its influence on consumer behavior and retail dynamics. In today’s fiercely competitive environment, marketplaces must innovate or risk falling into obsolescence.

Retail Marketplace Monetization: How Marketplace 2.0 Maximizes Profits

Many of the most profitable, fastest growing, and valuable retailers operate a marketplace. But how does this business model generate top-line sales and bottom-line profit? This session will describe popular marketplace monetization techniques like commissions, subscriptions, embedded finance, retail media, cross-border, fulfillment services, data, and more. We’ll also discuss how the marketplace business model reduces CapEx and OpEx costs like inventory costs, fulfillment, merchandising, markdowns, SEM, warehouse construction, returns processing, and more. You’ll leave with an understanding of the business and financial implications of operating marketplaces. Stop by booth #907 post-session for a free signed copy of our new Marketplace Monetization book, already the #1 new release in Amazon’s Commerce category.
