Amazon & e-Marketplace Solutions Explained Workshop


Learn how you can access export & manufacturing markets through online marketplaces

COVID-19 has accelerated the growth of online sales with over 62% of purchases now via e-marketplaces. As consumers buying behaviour has significantly changed, going online direct to consumers is now challenging traditional export markets.

We have an opportunity for you and/or your team to discover how you can access export markets in a low risk and efficient way through online marketplaces. In this weekly 3-part series, Hamish Conway from Sell Global will show share new approaches to help you grow and expand your e-marketplace presence and produce results.

These workshops are relevant if you have products in export markets, and if you are already selling on e-marketplaces. Join us to map your pathway to successful e-commerce exports.

Session 2: Communicating the Value of Your Product and Brand on Marketplaces

Date: Thursday 18th November

Platform: via MS Teams

Time: 10.30AM – 12.30PM (15 minutes break included)

When you are selling directly to consumers online, the importance and quality of your brand presence cannot be overstated. The transition from B2B to B2C selling is sometimes a challenging one as your brand messaging changes for converting the end consumer, not the distributor or retailer who has different motivations.

Because consumers can’t touch, taste, smell, or see your product up close, you have to visually build the vision and create the experience to help them ‘join the dots’, so choosing your product is the obvious choice.

  • The design component options you have on marketplaces and how to use them effectively
  • The Image stack concepts to tell the story of your brand and product
  • How to answer the unspoken concerns or objections that stop someone from buying your product
  • The importance of consistency in brand presence across marketplaces
  • How video can be used to enhance the buying experience
  • How to create the right product messaging, while also being relevant for the marketplace search algorithms

Kirsten Bryce, Creative Director – Sell Global

Kylie Armstrong, Operations Manager – Sell Global
