Marketplaces will help you sell your product, and are also a great way to test products and learn whether people will really buy them. But in addition to this, you should be building your own brand.com. You’ll have full control of your entire ecommerce business, and can run a fantastic, fully customised loyalty programme that builds up customer retention.
