What or who exactly is Talpa eCommerce?
Talpa eCommerce is part of Talpa Network and the Benelux market leader in dynamic pricing. The company was previously called Emesa, but since its merger with Talpa Network in 2017, it continued as Talpa eCommerce – sometimes still with Emesa in brackets after it.
Talpa eCommerce (Emesa) became big with auction and deals sites like VakantieVeilingen.nl and ActievandeDag.nl, where it sells physical products – gadgets and stuff for in and around the house – and entrance tickets for events. They call it ‘treisure’: a combination of travel, leisure and entertainment. Think tickets to zoos, amusement parks, theatres and festivals, a day at a wellness centre or a fully catered weekend away. The auction and bidding mechanism has an interesting side effect: a consumer who wins an auction or scores a great deal feels more like a winner than a customer. That winner’s feeling, Talpa eCommerce’s customer focus and clever use of big data and marketing intelligence largely explain the company’s success.
