– Ecommerce businesses may start mimicking house flipping by buying distressed or underappreciated ecommerce stores at a discount and improving them.
– The next step could involve buying old URLs and building multifamily homes or collections of brands on them to create mini-marketplaces for renting out space.
– Incorporating a data play in marketing strategy is seen as a valuable way to increase valuation and partnering with experts in this field is recommended.Identify potential distressed or underappreciated ecommerce stores with potential and consider buying them at a discount, investing in improvements, and incorporating a data play to increase valuation.Will ecommerce businesses mimic house flipping in the next year? My prediction is yes. People with access to capital will begin looking at distressed or underappreciated ecommerce stores with potential and look to buy them at a discount, bring in their contractors/crew, and have plans and improvements ready to go. They will put in some money, lay some groundwork, and create value from someone that had potential but lacked the skills and capital necessary to achieve that potential. The next step is buying old homes/urls and building multifamily homes or collections of brands on them – mini-marketplaces where you can rent out space. I see this as being one of the new means of acquisition. Rented space on niche marketplaces. Who is already doing this that I should talk to in the space? Who has an interest in doing this that I should talk to? The easiest way to increase valuation is to incorporate a data play. It unlocks a lot using existing processes. It seems like a complete no-brainer to me. Marketing strategy based on data is a completely open field right now. Tell me, who should we partner up with? #ecommerce #mergersandacquisitionshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jivanco
