One hot topic when discussing Amazon growth is profitability. Amazon fees are high and continually add pressure to sellers, especially as new fees and rates are frequently announced. As an agency, monitoring this KPI is crucial not only at the ASIN level but also at the account level, ensuring it aligns with your strategic momentum. 🌟 Are you new to Amazon, launching products from scratch? Be prepared for it to take some time to reach profitability, as this can vary greatly based on your product cost, operational cost, and even product category.

It's important to maintain a competitive price while continuously seeking ways to optimise your operation and advertising strategy to be as cost-effective as possible. ❓ Are you finding profitability challenging on Amazon?

An article by Harvard Business Review discussed how the "refund effect," a fancy term for cross-selling, can help you convert product returns into a game-changing business strategy. Last year, sellers lost $816 billion in revenue due to product returns. If something isn't done about this, retailers will be out of business sooner than later. However, the refund effect offers a smart solution to minimize return losses. If you must know, buyers already view refunds as lost money. So you just need to convince them to 'exchange' it with your other products, not get it back. ♠ ️Capitalizing on this effect is a total game-changer—but only if you do it right. Remember, you must consider how your customers view refunds to make reasonable return policies. Follow @sellerbites for more Amazon news, trends, and strategies.
