eTAIL agency helps you perform on Amazon
Choosing marketplaces and distribution model
You have a business development project and are looking for a suitable solution to increase your online sales without needing to create your own website.
Distributing your catalog through a feed manager like Channable or Shoppingfeed seems to be a suitable solution to increase your turnover, but do you know which are the best marketplaces to sell your products?
While some mainstream websites like Cdiscount, Rakuten, Ebay, and, of course, Amazon seem to be key sales channels, there are other, more specialized marketplaces that can reach more effectively your main target audience. Fnac is positioned on electronics as well as computers, while Darty on appliances and PEM. La Redoute is specialized in fashion and housewares and ManoMano with DIY, home and gardening.
Finding the right sales channels for your product range is an essential step, but you should also think about your logistical choices, as your shipping policy is one of the key elements of your e-commerce profitability.
Some players such as Amazon and its FBA program and CDiscount with C-Logistic can take care of all your logistics, this would be a strategic choice if you are historically a BtoB vendor who knows how to deliver pallets, but not how to deliver to individuals.
Without anticipating the issues of storage, transport, delivery, and commission rates, your commercial development project on the web is likely to fail, yet the market is there!
Trust our experts to guide you through the right approach to launch your business successfully on multiple sales platforms. We will work with you to develop a tailor-made action plan:
- in line with the size and organization of your business structure
- consistent with your product vertical
- adapted to your price and marketing positioning
Management of your marketplace catalogs
Selling on multiple marketplaces requires access to specific tools whose features meet the sellers’ needs:
- Inventory management
- Order synchronisation
- Creation of automatic rules
- Attribute mapping

- SEO optimization
Our agency will help you choose and set up the tools needed to manage your e-commerce activity.
Optimisation of your product sheets
To reach your potential customers, the referencing of your product sheets in the results pages of marketplaces is crucial.
Although you do not sell your products on a website developed with Prestashop or Magento, the SEO optimization of your catalog is an element that you must take into account to succeed in gaining more traffic and increasing the number of orders.
Our Marketplace experts will advise you on the choice of keywords to use in your titles, descriptions, or in the labeling of your images in order to promote your offers’ natural referencing. Other indicators specific to each marketplace are also taken into account for the results ranking, such as the number of reviews and ratings.
Our services allow you to benefit from our expertise to quickly identify where you need to improve things in order to reach more people and improve your revenue.
We help you with the operational implementation of all SEO optimizations.

Reporting and measurement tools
Our marketplace experts create monitoring dashboards that allow you to follow the progress of your activities for each marketplace from one place.
The creation of these monitoring dashboards is essential to measure the effectiveness of our actions and to monitor the key KPIs:
- performance by brand

Opinion of our Marketplaces expert
Working with multiple retailers requires the implementation of an adapted methodology. Companies often choose to distribute their offer through a large number of platforms, but for this to work, it is not enough to be present where there is traffic, in fact, it is more important to be present where your audience is.
We recommend an approach based on the identification of target audiences, with a distribution system based on product type and sector of activity. The risk of opening up too many channels is to enter into a low price scheme and lose the customer.

All about marketplaces
We clarify all the key points about selling on marketplaces.
The fundamental difference between Amazon and other marketplaces is the environment that Amazon will provide to showcase your offer and all the complexity of management that it requires.
Amazon is the most efficient mainstream marketplace, but it offers a highlighting option that is currently unique in Europe. Some marketplaces such as Bol.com, leader in the Benelux, are beginning to gain ground on Amazon by offering “branding” solutions.
A feed manager or feed aggregator is a tool that assists retailers and brands in the process of exporting their product databases to price comparison systems, marketplaces, and even in optimizing their media campaigns.
Shopping Feed is one of the leading feed aggregators with a presence in 40 countries and over 1000 marketplaces channels including the largest and all major market verticals.
It allows you to quickly distribute your offers by easily exporting your databases to comparison services and marketplaces, and even optimize your media campaigns.
