In the United Kingdom, a trend is emerging among independent businesses. They are shifting their sales back to their own stores after previously using marketplaces. This change is reportedly driven by factors such as fees associated with marketplaces and the loss of direct customer contact.

Some companies, like one profiled by Quell Workspaces, have chosen to maintain their own storefronts throughout. Further details on this trend and the experiences of businesses that have opted to sell from their own sites are available from the source, providing insight into the considerations involved in this decision.
