Conclusion

Kaufland marketplace

Kaufland.de marketplace is one of the most successful sales platforms in Germany, with more than 7,000 retailers offering over 30 million non-food products. Customers can find a large selection of goods in categories such as electronics, household items, garden supplies, etc.

 

If we revisit the beginnings of this brand, we look back to April 2021, when the transformation of the online marketplace Real.de into Kaufland.de took place. Kaufland.de quickly grew to receive over 32 million visitors each month, adding yet another giant online retailer onto the German market. Kaufland.de is now part of the Schwarz Gruppe, which is one of the largest retail groups in Europe and the fourth largest in the world with more than 12,900 stores across 33 countries. In the 2020 financial year, it generated sales of €125.3 billion.

Kaufland.de’s great reputation

Kaufland.de is a strong brand where retailers can take advantage of its good name, credibility, and its existing customer base, which includes all age groups. It also ensures a positive shopping experience, both for sellers and customers.Kaufland.de also provides high-quality technical and marketing support. It offers 12 different payment methods, which makes the shopping process much easier for customers and contributes to higher conversion. This eliminates the need for the seller to deal with these procedural formalities associated with payment methods and their processing. The German marketplace also takes pride in its strong marketing (SEO, Google Shopping, banner ads, etc.), which in turn will increase the visibility of your products. In addition, you can pay for advertising space directly on the Kaufland.de website in regular newsletters or on the platform's social networks. 

Kaufland to launch its online marketplace in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in early 2023

 Kaufland marketplace will introduce a new online marketplace concept to the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2023. This will give online sellers the opportunity to sell consumer (non-food) goods internationally and reach out to a new target audience with millions of additional customers via Kaufland.cz and Kaufland.sk!

The introduction of this marketplace in the Czech Republic and Slovakia is the initial step towards the launch of the "Kaufland Global Marketplace" technology, which will offer quick and easy access to international online trade and simultaneously commence the digital expansion of this retail chain.

 

The Czech marketplace will utilise state-of-the-art technology. Local and international retailers will be able to offer their products across more than 5,000 different categories. Kaufland is one of the largest retailers in the Czech Republic with more than 130 stores. The marketplace thus provides high brand awareness (both online and offline). From a seller's perspective, Kaufland.cz offers countless benefits.
