1. A ready-made customer base: Trendyol is a highly recognized platform thanks to its long-standing e-commerce presence. With approximately 25 million members and 50 million monthly visits, the platform is visited at least once a day by 3 out of 4 women, and the potential for customers is enormous.
2. Brand awareness: When you open a store on Trendyol and sell on it, your brand awareness will increase in parallel with your sales. As mentioned above, you can easily introduce yourself to some of the nearly fifty million monthly visitors.
3. Product Promotion: From the moment you open your store, your products are displayed to consumers. This gives you the opportunity to introduce every product you offer to consumers.
4. Advertisements: Trendyol runs its ads almost constantly across all media. Normally, attracting customers requires significant advertising budgets, but Trendyol takes on this challenge.
Disadvantages
1. Competition: You'll have many competitors selling under the Trendyol umbrella. You may need to make additional payments to highlight your products and compete with them.
2. Commission: Trendyol charges a certain amount of commission to each store for the services it offers. Therefore, when setting your product prices, you must reflect this commission amount or compromise on profitability.
3. The Difficulty of Creating a Brand: The platform, the brand, the ads... In short, almost everything is run under the Trendyol brand. Therefore, you shouldn't ignore the fact that outside of the Trendyol umbrella, you are still alone and connected to the platform.
