Episode: EP94: Lessons Learned Building A Global Ecommerce Marketplace, with the CEO of Openforvintage.com
Description: Ecommerce growth has been pretty epic since 2019. McKinsey stated that the US experienced 10 years’ growth in just 30 days! There are two sub-trends we’re covering on this podcast episode: ecommerce marketplaces and pre-owned luxury shopping.  Linnworks consumer research found that nine out of 10 shoppers regularly started product searches on marketplaces, while figures from Mirakl show marketplaces grew 80% in the final quarter of 2020, twice the growth rate of other ecommerce channels.  We discuss the challenges of starting and scaling a marketplace for pre-owned fashion and accessories with the CEO of Open For Vintage, Colin Saunders.
