E-marketplaces are online trading communities -- communities where buyers and sellers the world over meet to exchange goods, services, and information.
Part international trade show, part stock exchange, part chat room, e-marketplaces are highly diverse in form, function and focus. At least a dozen categories of e-marketplaces have emerged in recent years. These include ...
MULTI-INDUSTRY e-marketplaces such as Worldbid at http://www.worldbid.com which provide online transaction services for a diverse range of industries.
GEOGRAPHIC-BASED exchanges such as ECEurope at http://www.eceurope.com focus on a specific geographic area. In this instance, Western Europe.
VERTICAL e-marketplaces such as BEVNET at http://www.bevnet.com/ key on a specific industry. In this instance, beverages.
To find out the leading e-marketplaces in your particular industry or geographic market, check out two sources: B2Business Net at http://www.b2business.net and Line 56 at http://www.line56.com. Both provide a searchable directory of hundreds of leading B2B e-marketplaces in many manufacturing and service industries.
Take the time to find which e-marketplaces are most relevant to your business or area of study, and then monitor them regularly. You'll uncover valuable new buying, selling, and partnering opportunities and expand your global reach and clout online and off.
