How to stand out on the Cdiscount marketplace?
Today we are sharing our tips for getting your business off the ground!
Here are the best tips from the Cdiscount Advertising Sellers team:
Tips 1 - Building and consolidating your paid search engine optimization :
60% of purchases are made via the search engine.
Referencing allows you to inform your offers according to their relevance to a keyword, which will be searched via the search engine. There are two types of referencing: natural (SEO) and paid (SEA).
To accelerate your rise in the search engine, it is recommended to set up paid referencing via the C.A.R.S. platform (Sponsored Products).
Up to 20 million searches are conducted per week. Within these results, Sponsored Products are strategically placed to generate more clicks.
Being present on Cdiscount allows us to reach over 20 million unique visitors. Recently, thanks to Google Shopping, our sellers are attracting new targets of more intentional visitors.
Complementary to Sponsored Products, you work on your referencing but this time on Google.
Tips 2 - Boosting your competitiveness :
The customer on Cdiscount is looking for the best price on the market, so he will be very sensitive to the idea of making a deal!
For the past 3 years, we have deployed a technology that allows us to target the most hesitant customers and encourage them to make a purchase. This technology is called BRI and it allows us to increase orders by 40%*** with equivalent traffic by offering a personalised discount voucher to its customers!
Tips 3 - Targeting your presence :
Cdiscount's annual activity is punctuated by highlights where each product category is highlighted according to the commercial operations.
Via Premium Ads, sellers can access strategic locations on the homepage and navigation and thus benefit from the same visibility as suppliers or big brands.
Tips 4 - Building a marketing strategy :
For the past 3 years, Cdiscount Marketplace has been offering Premium Memberships: they have been adopted by nearly 2,800 merchants. If these merchants have chosen to subscribe to a Premium Membership, it is above all to build a strategy on the Marketplace. Indeed, thanks to Premium Subscriptions, you benefit from the above-mentioned visibility levers, but also from services allowing you to improve your supply chain or from the support of a marketing expert.
