It's no secret that brands are more conscious than ever before. From ethics to sustainability and politics, brand voice is incredibly important, as are the values of brands. In a recent Forbes article, the journalist shared the importance of value driven marketplaces. This article, outlined value based marketplaces as the shopping experiences of the future, stating that brands and designers will find there is more importance placed now on the connection consumers have to companies. With these more conscious consumers on the rise, being a part of a marketplace is an incredible opportunity as a designer. Not only does it add brand voice and value to your brand, but it places you alongside other likeminded designers, bringing you more exposure and a larger audience.
The rise of the conscious consumer has been manifesting itself for a while now. Now more than ever, we see multi brand marketplaces popping up everywhere. Why? Because these conscious consumers are looking to shop BRAND way more so than just PRODUCT. Offering a platform that houses individual brands, provides emerging designers with a value driven space for them to sell their accessories. As consumers look for local businesses and online marketplaces, the connectivity of these individual brands in an online marketplace drives exposure, sales and consumer traffic as well as brand visibility and brand association.
