1. In your opinion, why e-marketplace very important nowadays?

In my opinion, E-marketplaces are a growing trend that cannot be ignored. Along with having their own websites, most brands also make use of these platforms. This helps ensure that they do not miss out on any potential sales and maximize their profits. Being part of an e-marketplace like Shope or Lazada can benefit a brand in many ways. That’s not all, they also help strengthen the relationship between sellers and buyers. Some potential benefits are summarized below.

·        General business benefits

I.          There are greater opportunities for suppliers and buyers to establish new trading partnerships, either within their supply chain or across supply chains.

II.          E-marketplaces can provide greater transparency in the purchasing process since availability, prices and stock levels are all accessible in an open environment.

III.          Time constraints and problems with different office hours for international trade are removed, as it is possible to operate on a round-the-clock basis.

·        Benefits for the buyer

I.          Updated information on price and availability makes it easier to secure the best deal.

II.          E-marketplaces offer a convenient way to compare prices and products from a single source rather than spending time contacting each individual supplier.

III.          Established e-marketplaces provide a level of trust for the buyer as they are dealing exclusively with suppliers who are members.

·        Benefits for the seller

I.          Regular requests for quotations from both new and current customers are possible.

II.          It provides an additional sales channel to market and sell products.

III.          E-marketplaces can offer reduced marketing costs when compared with other sales channels.

IV.          The use of international e-marketplaces can provide opportunities for overseas sales that you would not otherwise be aware of.

2. What attributes should have in E-marketplace?

I.          Storefronts - Vendors should have the own profile    page, which they can turn into a full-fledged vendor shop or storefront. Storefronts will display their personal info, social information, and reviews from buyers.

II.          Browsing - People can browse the categories listings as a list. You can set up categories, subcategories, and numerous custom filters to help customers find what they are looking for.

III.          Listings - They should be allowed to add all the product information, including pricing, location, and multiple photos, and manage their listings effortlessly.

IV.          Trust and reputation - Allow buyers to write reviews after each transaction. This will helps out our profile to next level & build trust in your marketplace community. Sellers with positive reviews can get better prices for their products, and buyers’ satisfaction is guaranteed.

V.          Communication - Buyers and vendors can communicate with each other through messages. Each vendor should have their own inbox inside your marketplace. Fulfill the buyer intention.
