If you’re selling on Amazon, congratulations. You’re part of a forward-thinking business vanguard that is tapping into the power of e-commerce.
The only thing is, so is most of the rest of the world, at this point. In fact, with so much stiff competition out there, we’re willing to bet that your efforts to push your products on the world’s largest e-commerce platform haven’t yielded the results you counted on.
Don’t get discouraged, though. Selling on Amazon is something that takes time and investment. Fortunately, it’s something that we at TruLife Distribution have gotten very good at doing over the years, as well.
Here are a few things you should keep in mind when considering selling on Amazon.
The Pros and Cons of Selling on Amazon
If you assume that Amazon is a magic bullet that will magically jumpstart your sales, think again. There are many pros and cons that come with the Amazon experience.
For instance, on the one hand, you get access to a much higher quantity of potential traffic. You can also build a storefront with minimal effort. Amazon even offers a drop-shipping option if you’re willing to give up some of your hard-earned revenue.
On the other hand, if you sell on Amazon, you need to give up a sizable chunk of each sale to the e-commerce giant. The amount varies, but if you sell a lot of items (which we hope you do) the bill can add up.
In addition, if you don’t have everything just right, you may not get much traffic due to competitors crowding you out. You also need to invest in marketing yourself if you want to be discovered.
