Editor’s note: This is a guest post by Austin Henggeler, Director of Sales & Account Management at Tophatter


No matter what part of the market you’re in, it’s clear that we are experiencing an unusual moment for consumer spending behavior. Less people are able to shop in brick-and-mortar stores, so more purchases are moving online. At the same time, people are bored and disconnected from friends and family. Many are turning to the internet and apps to have fun, treat themselves, and buy things for themselves and their loved ones. These factors can translate into incredible opportunities for eCommerce sellers, if they know where to seize them.

As many marketplaces prioritize essentials or their own products, it has been hard for sellers to move inventory. So, to assist merchants during this time, Tophatter is offering commission free selling for sellers new to the platform now through May 20. Tophatter is a discovery marketplace with 30 million customers, and this is a rare chance to access those shoppers for free.
