Thus, retailers that will be listing on the eMAG Marketplace platform and are eligible for the program will receive a package of benefits that includes zero commission, a loan of RON1,000 for digital promotion on eMAG, through eMAG Ads, and support for logistical operations of pick and pack&ship. The total value of the benefits granted reaches RON3 million.
“Over the last few months, we have been witnessing the company’s makeover, which highlighted the need to speed up the digitalization process. The digital economy contributed over 6% to Romania’s gross domestic product and may grow a lot more provided it is supported through investments,” stated Florin Filote, vice-president of eMAG.
The program targets stores that rely exclusively on pedestrian traffic and puts at disposal information, technology, access to customers across the country and a package of benefits for the next 16 months.
“We expect the positive effects of the program to have impact on the entire economy,” Florin Filote also said.
To enroll in the program, a company must list on the eMAG Marketplace starting December 3, 2020. Until its listing on the eMAG Marketplace, a company should have never registered sales via an online channel (sale of goods or services via electronic transactions carried out on the internet or via other computer-based networks); it should have never had the quality of seller on eMAG Marketplace, either directly or via affiliates, prior to December 3, 2020, and it should have been established until January 1, 2020.
