It’s Time to Mitigate Online Marketplace Mayhem

Online marketplaces are on fire in retail, and they’ve been reignited as retailers, brands and consumers maneuver through the coronavirus crisis. Buy mayhem is brewing that can extinguish the opportunity for retailers, brand marketers and solution providers now, and on the other side of the corona crisis.

In this episode, Spieckerman breaks down opportunities, challenges, and tactics for mitigating the mayhem.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why brands should be selective with partnerships, even as sales seem scarce
  • How choice, convenience and safety are synonymous and non-negotiable to consumers
  • Why lack of diversification spells retail doom, but the opposite can be worse
  • How international marketplaces are evolving and creating opportunities

Carol Spieckerman will be back every other Thursday with new episodes! In the meantime, tune in every Tuesday with Melissa Gonzalez on Retail Refined.
