In addition to the platform for creating marketplaces, E-tiketka operates its own online store specializing in the sale of household goods, electronics, household appliances, smartphones and gadgets, etc. According to Andrei Chursin, the company works with commercial banks, which offer an infrastructure solution for creating a marketplace built into a banking application, or in the form of a full-fledged site. This allows banks to keep their customers inside the mobile application for a long time due to the ability to make purchases in it without switching to third-party services, Chursin added.

The service for creating marketplaces may be interesting for sites with high traffic, but without competencies in retail sales, said Mikhail Burmistrov, general director of Infoline Analytics. According to him, the Marketplaces business model is the most attractive in online retail due to the ability to provide the widest possible range of goods and the flexibility of interaction with sellers. However, according to the expert, successfully operating local marketplaces are rather a utopia against the background of fierce competition from the largest players, who are leaders in audience coverage, storage space, sorting centers and have a network of thousands of points of issue of orders and checkpoints.^[1]
