Increasing Your Sales By Decreasing Your Sellers

Do any of your sellers currently have a marketing/advertising campaign for your products? If you have a MAP policy do they follow it?


We can use 30%-50% of our gross profits of the sale of your products that we purchase from you to promote your brand, thereby, increasing visibility and sales. Many brand owners think that by adding more sellers that they also increase sales but that's not necessarily the case, especially on Amazon. Total sales volume is really a by-product of consumer demand (keyword searches) and not the number of sellers. Hence, why having more sellers makes no difference to sales volume. In fact, due to the lack of ad-spend the visibility of your brand may be less than it otherwise could be. Why may there be a lack of ad-spend? With many sellers on the listing there is “less of the pie” to go around meaning fewer sales for each seller thereby limiting the amount they can spend on advertising. With fewer sellers on the listing, there will be “more of the pie” per seller which means they should have more to contribute to advertising. More advertising means more visibility which can translate into more sales. MAP enforcement and actually having fewer sellers is crucial. With no MAP policy, having many sellers will usually start a "price war" and drive the price continually downward which can hurt the value of your brand. Yes, there may be more short term sales but with constant price fluctuations returning customers may simply wait for the price to drop (because they know it will) before purchasing again. More visibility through advertising is the way we think we can help grow your brand.

What Are Your Current Sellers Doing For You???

What Are Your Current Sellers Doing For You???

1. How do you feel about your current Amazon sales right now and are they higher than last year? Are your current sellers doing anything to help drive sales for you? If not, why not?

2. Have your current sellers presented you with a detailed action plan of how they will try and take sales away from your current competition? If not, why not?

3. Given the effect Amazon has on offline sales, thanks to reverse showrooming, (looking at items in brick & mortar and then buying online) do you feel your Amazon content is showcasing your brand in the way you want it to? i.e. does it have poor pics, poor copy etc. Bad content can hurt online sales.

4. Do all of your current sellers run Amazon pay per click ads and if so are they sharing the info with you? Are they being a transparent partner?

5. Are you aware of how having fewer sellers can help to free up more ad budget to help increase your market share? Example - 20 sellers have a gross profit of $1000 per month equaling $20,000 in total profit. If each one is contributing 50% of gross profit to marketing then each could spend $500 towards ad campaigns. In reality, are any of them advertising at all? What if there is 1 seller instead of 20 and they have the gross profit of $20,000 and they spend 50% or $10,000 on ad campaigns? The 1 seller with a $10,000 budget can purchase much more advertising than 20 sellers with a $500 budget.

6. Have any of your current sellers been late paying an invoice or defaulted altogether? Fewer sellers mean less risk.

7. If you have fewer sellers it would mean less time and money creating fewer shipments and fewer invoices.

8. We are not necessarily asking to be an exclusive or even a semi-exclusive. We are simply asking for a short term commitment to show what we do!
