What Multi-Vendor is Capable Of
A Multi-Vendor store is an e-commerce mall—different vendors sell their products in a shared marketplace, and the root administrator regulates vendors’ activities.
Generally, Multi-Vendor stores sell common products, like electronics, apparel, video games, cosmetics, and others, from various vendors. But Multi-Vendor is not only about selling electronics and apparel—it’s open to your creative ideas.
We’d like to show you 3 Multi-Vendor stores that use creative business ideas.
Tombokka
The Tombokka store offers apparel, cushions, bags, wall clocks, phone cases, and laptop sleeves with unique designer prints.
Tombokka has a catalogue of its vendors, who are actually artists. Each artist creates prints in his or her own style—you will find a t-shirt to your taste or a wall clock that matches your interior.
For the Man I Love
For the Man I Love is another Multi-Vendor marketplace that uses a creative idea—it specializes on gifts for men only.
Sometimes, finding a gift for a husband or a boyfriend becomes a real challenge. For the Man I Love helps to find the right gift for the modern man. The store offers a great choice of grooming products, accessories, menswear, gadgets, and other products from vendors all over the world.
Prondo
Prondo is an online publishing company.
Although this website uses an old version of Multi-Vendor, it combines impressive features in one place:
- Self-publishing for authors—authors publish their books keeping the copyright
