What can we learn from this study?
More than ever, marketplaces are becoming an essential channel in any e-commerce strategy. They allow merchants to benefit from the marketing power and brand recognition of major companies.
Google continues to play an important role in e-commerce strategies, particularly through Google Shopping, an effective price comparison channel.
However, be careful not to put all your products in one basket. Your marketing mix should not depend on a single channel, in order to avoid being affected by a sudden decline in that channel or a change in its pricing model.
