Channel of the Month: Cdiscount

While 亚马逊 has no competition in many countries, Cdiscount is a major competitor in France, accounting for around 10% of online sales. As France is the third largest eCommerce market in Europe, it is a great way of reaching French customers, so well worth a look.

CDiscount is like Amazon in many ways, both good and bad. Like Amazon, this marketplace is built around a catalogue, so you may find your products are already for sale, and you can get selling quickly. Its fees are around 15%, and it has its own fulfilment and advertising service. From experience, using it can be a bit fiddly, but it generates reliable sales.

Promote your Black Friday Deals

With Black Friday around the corner, now is the time to sharpen your skills in preparation for sending out your offers. If you have not started building your email list yet (shame on you), check out our introduction to Mail Chimp and building your email list. Amazon has a dedicated Deals and Vouchers tool, and as if you are an eBay shop owner, use their Promotions and Discount Tool.

As always, DM us if you want to launch or grow your eCommerce business.
