Marketplaces
Multiple platforms is a great way to grow your business, placing more of your eggs in multiple baskets, will mean more potential customers and a higher conversion. It is critical to have your own website where you have control, ultimately you cannot control if one of the platforms decides to pull the plug on your shop. They can do this if you have one client complaint, even if it is 100% not valid, or a competitor is claiming infringement.
