VIVINO Multi-Vendor Marketplace Case Study And How To Start Your Own

Written by

Vivino.com is the biggest online marketplace for wine. If you’d like to start a similarly successful marketplace business, Vendo makes it super easy and affordable to set up your online store with dozens of domestic brands. You can start selling products from dozens of brands really quickly, sometimes in just a few days! It's a faster and smoother way to start your own online marketplace.

Vendo is a one-stop-shop for all your marketplace needs, providing you with a marketplace platform automating day-to-day operation, a catalog of brands to pick from or an ability to invite your own brands, merchandising and promotional tools, ability to sell through multiple channels (your existing website, emails & SMS, mobile app, social media), and ongoing daily support scaling your marketplace business.   

Vivino Marketplace Success Story and Affiliate Program:

Wine Wonderland with Millions of Users

Vivino.com is the coolest place for wine lovers. They started with nothing, but now they have over 50 million users – that's like having a party with all the wine enthusiasts in the world! They even have a whopping catalog of more than 14 million different wines. That's more wine options than you can shake a corkscrew at!

Cheers to User-Generated Reviews

One secret to their success is that they let users like you and me write reviews and give ratings for all those wines. It's like having your best friend recommend the perfect wine for your pizza night. With all those reviews, it's easier for people to find the right wine and trust that it's good.

Uncorking Marketplace Potential

But here's where the real magic happens – Vivino is not just about reading reviews. It's also a marketplace. That means you can buy and sell wine there. Imagine having your own virtual wine store, and Vivino helps you set it up. They've made it so easy that you can start selling wines from different vendors super quickly.

Vivino Affiliate Program:

Earning a Sip of Success

Vivino also has this cool thing called an affiliate program. It's like getting a commission for telling your friends about Vivino. When you refer someone, and they buy wine, you get a piece of the pie. So, if you're a wine enthusiast and you love talking about it, you can earn some extra cash while sipping your favorite bottle.

How to Repeat Their Success:

Start Small and User-Focused

If you want to create your own marketplace success like Vivino, start small and focus on what users love. Build a community and let them contribute, just like Vivino did with wine reviews. Listen to your users and give them what they want.

Party with Partners

Partner with different vendors or sellers. Vivino didn't make all those wines themselves; they got them from various sellers. So, connect with sellers and make it easy for them to join your marketplace. The more options you offer, the more attractive your marketplace becomes.

Don't Forget the Tech

Invest in the right technology to make your marketplace smooth and user-friendly. Vivino didn't become a success by accident. They had a great platform that made buying and selling wines a breeze.

Promote, Promote, Promote

Spread the word about your marketplace. Use social media, partnerships, and, if possible, an affiliate program like Vivino. The more people know about your marketplace, the more successful it can become.

Cheers to Your Marketplace Success!
