Marvin Zimmermann (Multichannel Expert) makes a small comparison between Amazon and Rakuten. In which points is Rakuten convincing? And why is it sometimes helpful and leads to success to go for a smaller marketplace? You’ll get the answers in the video.

German branch

Rakuten is an online company and is one of the ten largest Internet companies in the world. It was founded in 1997. Thus, Rakuten not only has many years of experience, but its size also provides you with opportunities for a lot of reach. A major advantage of Rakuten is certainly its German subsidiary. The German branch means that support is also provided in Germany. The latter is always available and goes to great lengths to sort out any problems. If you already sell on Amazon, you may have experienced yourself that problems are rarely solved by support there. With Rakuten, the exact opposite is the case.

More favorable commission rates

Many online retailers play it safe and opt for big names like eBay and Amazon when selling their products. However, it is worth deviating from this path and giving other marketplaces a chance. Especially in terms of commission rates. Amazon, for example, charges pretty high commissions to its merchants. Of course, you get a great range for it.

If you look at the whole thing a little more closely, there are nevertheless secret advantages to a smaller marketplace.

Good range

You get a good reach through the price comparison portals and Google Shopping. Because with a good price point, it is quite possible that your Rakuten listing will also be displayed on Google Shopping and the price comparison portals. And that’s without having an account there. Generate additional reach, e.g. on portals such as idealo.de – without being registered there. In addition, Rakuten exists worldwide. Often, unfortunately, the different countries are separated from each other, but it is always an advantage to be present in an international marketplace.
