Topic overview
Learn the foundations of Consumer Marketplace Growth, Trust, and Retention.
A marketplace coordinates two or more groups whose experiences depend on one another. Growth requires enough relevant supply, qualified demand, effective matching, reasonable time to value, quality, trust, safety, support, and repeat behavior in a specific segment or geography. Incentives can create temporary activity, so retention, contribution margin, cohort behavior, customer stories, and marketplace health need to be read together.
