What if digital marketplaces could redefine the future of retail? Join DBB's Scott Benedict on the Digital Front Door for an enlightening conversation with Jim Okamura from McmillanDoolittle, as they unveil the transformative power of digital marketplaces, predicted to hit a global gross merchandise value of $3.8 trillion in 2024.
Discover the various marketplace models shaping the world, from specialized platforms like Zalando and Newegg to titans like Alibaba and JD.com, and see how hybrid marketplaces are revolutionizing traditional retail with omni-channel capabilities.
In this engaging episode, Jim and Scott shine a light on why having a solid marketplace strategy is now crucial for consumer product companies.
