So, it is really important that you begin to discover merchants for your prospect online marketplace at an early stage; in fact, before even making your first investment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the question is, \u2018how to?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bad news is; you will hardly find any comprehensive guide on this subject on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But since you are here, the good news is, this post is one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This post will guide you on different ways to discover merchants for your online marketplace (online &amp; offline) &amp; how to connect with them to give your prospect eCommerce venture an ideal start.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table of Contents<\/h2><br>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#coming\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>A Coming Soon Page<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#social\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Social Media Marketing<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#banner\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Banner Ads<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#offline\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Offline Marketing<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#merchants\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Connect with Merchants Directly<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#things\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Others key things to keep in mind<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#win\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Some more exceptional ways to win over sellers for your marketplace<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-with-vendors-for-ecommerce-store\/#conclusion\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"coming\"><strong>But First, a Coming Soon Page<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"844\" height=\"830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/multivendor-ecommerce-store-coming-soon-page.jpg\" alt=\"multivendor ecommerce store coming soon page\" class=\"wp-image-2764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/multivendor-ecommerce-store-coming-soon-page.jpg 844w, https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/multivendor-ecommerce-store-coming-soon-page-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/multivendor-ecommerce-store-coming-soon-page-768x755.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we begin with different techniques to find merchants, it is important to mention that you first must have a Coming Soon page (preferably using the same domain you intend to use for your online marketplace) for merchant\u2019s signup, where all your marketing efforts will lead them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Coming Soon page should typically consist of a registration form and some details about the prospect business. It would also serve well if you mention on the page how selling products on your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will benefit merchants.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Now, let\u2019s discuss the marketing efforts that will direct merchants to your website\/Coming Soon page.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"social\"><strong>Social Media Marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media is definitely the most effective &amp; most efficient online tool for the purpose, so it is important that you make the most out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create account on social networks that will serve well based on your target niche. Ex: Pinterest &amp; Instagram are musts for a fashion marketplace. Facebook is imperative in pretty much every scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start sharing informative &amp; promotional stuff on these accounts. And don\u2019t shy away from spending a little to promote your posts, as it can bring great results at the cost of a small investment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than that, join groups &amp; communities of merchants across different social media channels to directly connect with them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Quick tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media marketing may seem like a piece of cake at first, but it is not. And that makes social media marketing prone to some common blunders.<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta_box\">\n<div class=\"cta_title\">\n<h2>Build a Multi-vendor Marketplace with Essential Marketing Features<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta_button\"><a class=\"button customBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/marketing-features.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"banner\"><strong>Banner Ads<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placing banner ads on websites where you think merchants of your selected niche can be found is another good way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join online ad networks. Google AdSense is an obvious choice, but there are many others. Choose the ones that allow you to publish ads on the most relevant websites based on your niche<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While creating your banner ad copies, keep two things in mind \u2013 a) you are creating ads for merchants not for customers yet, b) you are inviting them to register not for selling products yet. Your ad copies should clearly reflect these intentions, otherwise, the provided information can be misinterpreted as misleading, and ultimately screw up leads.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"offline\"><strong>Offline Marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offline marketing may not be as sleek as online promotion of your business, but many a times, it is more effective (in the case of discovering vendors for your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online marketplace<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must have guessed already that here we are going to talk about hoardings, posters, pamphlets, etc. But the key to success lies with the strategic placement of these ads.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good place to start is to apply posters on delivery trucks of logistic services where it will definitely come in merchants\u2019 notice. Then there is placing hoardings in wholesale markets, distributing pamphlets in trade fairs, merchant associations, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, try to make your ad copies reach wherever you expect to find potential merchants for your marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Quick Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is probable that many of the merchants that will encounter your ads operate only offline. So it is advised to put some element in your ad copies that encourage such merchants. For example, tell them how selling online will help them get more orders and boost their market reach.<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"merchants\"><strong>Connect with Merchants Directly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far what we have discussed is one or another way of inbound marketing to attract merchants. Now, let\u2019s round-up a few outbound marketing ways to directly connect with merchants for your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online marketplace<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But first, you need to know where to find the merchants\u2019 information. Bullet points mentioned below will tell you that:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><b>Online Business Directories: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search out online business directories like Yellowpages, Manta, Yelp, etc. for the merchant of your selected niche. Also, run a search on Google, Bing, and other search engines, as they also have their own business directories with sellers\u2019 contact information.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Merchant Associations:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Approach merchant associations within your targeted area to collect data of merchants of your selected niche.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Trade fairs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Attend trade fairs (specifically related to your target niche) to connect with potential merchant partners directly, tell them about your business, and obtain their contact information.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have sufficient merchant data, start approaching merchants by calling them through Skype, and other means of online &amp; offline communication. If possible, schedule face to face meetings, as it is the most effective way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Note: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Above-mentioned techniques to connect with merchants are equally effective in attracting customers to buy from your online marketplace.<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Recommended Reading:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/best-multi-vendor-ecommerce-platforms\/\">Best Multi-vendor eCommerce Platforms to Build a Scalable Marketplace<\/a><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"things\"><strong>Others key things to keep in mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from reaching out to merchants, you also need to brainstorm over how to convince vendors to join your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there are ways to lure them by telling that selling things with you will give them better market reach, quicker order processing, etc. But that is pretty much what other marketplaces are offering.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, your best shot to attract them is by offering some concession on commission rates. <strong>For example<\/strong>, charge less commission on first 10 or 20 sales of each merchant, or whichever offer you think is more feasible to provide for your business and would work with partner merchants of your niche. Besides that, a cool UI will certainly attract more vendors as that will assure them of traffic too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free trials tend to work wonders too. Let sellers try your marketplace\u2019s ecosystem to help them discover the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/complete-multi-vendor-ecommerce-marketplace-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">features and benefits specific to their needs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that make them join you.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"win\"><strong>Let\u2019s check out a few more exceptional ways to win over sellers for your marketplace: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build sellers\u2019 personas before making an offer<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafting a perfect offer for potential sellers requires understanding their personalities, traits, pain points, and needs. Create seller personas to gather such information, which can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/proposal-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">build customized proposals<\/a> for each seller and reach out to them in a more persuasive manner.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conduct surveys to determine the gender, interests, business niche and demographics of your sellers. You can even collect this data via existing surveys on your targeted sellers. In addition, confine your business segment to be able to find out which sellers match your concept and where to look for them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run an email campaign <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A standard email campaign may already make you enter into your targeted seller group\u2019s bad books. Because who wants to partner with someone who is trying to take over others\u2019 customers or partners?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, choose the ethical way of running an email campaign in disguise to invite sellers associated with other similar marketplaces to try out selling on your platform. Social media and online communities are a great source to find who to promote your marketplace to.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborate with offline communities <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the online communities, offline communities also present sellers with their products that may conform to your business concept, but may not have an online presence. Get in touch with these sellers to offer them a platform that can meet their needs while profiting them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And therefore, see thousands of prospective sellers signing up on your eCommerce marketplace in a trice. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research your competition<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for businesses running on a similar concept as yours and find out what they are offering to their sellers. It will pave a way for you to design a better offer that trumps those of your competitors by adding new, unparalleled elements of advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to identify, more or less, a point of intersection where your strengths meet your rivals\u2019 shortcomings and your potential sellers\u2019 pain points, so you could demonstrate to sellers in question what your multivendor marketplace has for them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta_box\">\n<div class=\"cta_title\">\n<h2>Vendor Management is SUPER AWESOME with YoKart<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta_button\"><a class=\"button customBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/demo.yo-kart.com\/admin\/admin-guest\/login-form\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check Admin Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The various techniques discussed in this post aren\u2019t just for regular product selling website but apply to all kinds of eCommerce marketplaces where multiple vendors are involved such as online grocery marketplace, apparel website, online food ordering portals, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible that due to various business models, you might have to approach things a bit differently, but for the most part, these techniques will work out effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Similar Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/marketplace-strategies-to-solve-chicken-or-egg-problem\/\">Business Strategies To Address The Online Marketplace Chicken and Egg Problem<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you have decided to launch an ecommerce marketplace.
