Drop ship vs marketplace vs traditional ecommerce is a topic we hear discussed and debated frequently (and is the topic of one of our sessions at #NRF2024 this coming Sunday). Here, we partner with Logicbroker to discuss the differences between the various models. What many drop shippers don't realize is that they're ideally set up to offer their sellers and customers true marketplace functionality while retaining their successful drop ship program. Such a hybrid approach is gaining momentum. Check out this informative blog post to learn more and let us know if you have any questions. #marketplaces #dropship #multivendor #ecommerce

"How much about the shift to #eCommerce is really about logistics? eCom is such a weird loose term. If I order a takeaway over the phone, it’s not eCommerce, but if I do it via the internet, it is. Yet little has changed. If I buy Groceries online but collect in person, is this eCommerce? The entire world of business seems to think eCommerce is really about where I decide what to buy, where I make payment, where I commit. But for most companies and most consumer journeys this is the least most interesting thing." The part of “eCom” which is by far the most important, is about the #logistics of getting stuff to you. This is where the unit economics either kill you, or make you rich. Amazon to me has always been a disastrous retailer, but an incredible Logistics company. eCommmerce for me is really the art of procuring, holding and getting things to people at scale profitably, and not the art of website design."
