Mediahuis adds marketplace model to deal shops

Mediahuis Belgium and Mediahuis Netherlands are expanding their online deal shops with a marketplace model. Professional third-party sellers can now offer their products through the deal shops and sell directly to consumers.

The offering is promoted through campaigns across the group's news brands. In Flanders, the deal shops remain linked to titles including De Standaard, Gazet van Antwerpen, Het Nieuwsblad and Het Belang van Limburg. In the Netherlands, Mediahuis has consolidated its shops under Favoshop.nl.

Joining is free for brands and selling partners. There are no fixed monthly fees; partners pay commission only on products sold. Product catalogues can be integrated manually or via a feed, API or ChannelEngine. Payments are processed through Mollie.
