Trademart transforms to an omnichannel marketplace

Wednesday 26/01/2022

“With Trademart as your omnichannel partner, you can enjoy the best of the online and offline world. Making some products touchable and actually seeing and feeling others remains crucial in some sectors. Which is why the combination of digital and physical is so important in the retail landscape of the future.”

Trademart has been Europe’s biggest purchasing centre for retail professionals for 45 years now – and is definitely the place for spotting new trends.

From fashion to kids, decorating ideas to sports: we’re the place to come for all markets. And to maintain this unique position in the market in what is a rapidly changing sector, we’ve decided to make the leap from a physical trading location to an omnichannel marketplace. Which means that from now on, retailers will not only be able to gain inspiration at the physical marketplace in Brussels, but also via our brand-new online platform, Trademart Digital. This way, we can bring exhibitors and retailers closer to each other.

It’s not just hard figures and trends that demonstrate the way online is becoming more important all the time. Consumer buying habits are changing fast. More than ever, buyers are looking for inspiration, relevance and convenience. When consumer habits change, the value chain behind them has to change, too. And that has a direct effect on the whole sector.

The retail landscape was hit hard by Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021. But Trademart has kept pace with the digital (r)evolution and is delighted to introduce you to the new online meeting place for brands and retailers, which now comes in addition to the physical showrooms and inspiring events you are familiar with. Trademart Digital is an online platform where retailers can embark on a journey of discovery to their heart’s content, a place where promising relationships are created and where brands are able to present their range in just one click.
