Where have they gone, the double-digit growth rates? Especially fashion brands are asking themselves this question. Many have lost ground in recent months, some have not survived, as we found out two weeks ago when we updated our fashion marketplace quadrant. If you want to look at it again, you can find it here. So where and how can fashion brands still grow? This week, Ingrid and Valerie discussed this with two specialists who are very close to the fashion industry, namely Alexander Otto and Stefan Röttger. They represent our partner Tradebyte, a marketplace integrator that focuses on the technical integration of marketplaces and support in setting up a marketplace business specifically for the fashion industry. In this episode of “Let’s talk Marketplace”, they talk about where high-growth markets can still be found - spoiler alert: Have a look at Eastern Europe. And Alex also granted us an exklusive sneak peak into the still very secret program of this year’s ECD, the big fashion meet-up event on 11th of June in Munich.. Thinking about attending the ECD?
