WHO CAN SELL ON AMAZON?
It is possible for both, commerce and brand owners to sell on Amazon. Generally speaking, it is easier to obtain success on Amazon if you are a brand owner. Brand owners have an opportunity to register their trademark and through this approach gain other advantages, such as the option to build your own Amazon Brand Store (your own website on Amazon to promote their trademark). As a commerce you will likely be selling a lot of the same products as many other suppliers, which means a greater competition. No matter what type of company you own and what kind of products you sell, we recommend a thorough market analysis before you consider selling on Amazon. We will help you analyze and assess your potential on the platform.

HOW DO YOU SELL ON AMAZON?
It’s possible to sell in two different ways on Amazon – either by letting Amazon deal with stock and logistics, which is called FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), or by you, as a company, being responsible for the logistics and sending the products directly to the consumer. which is called FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant). There are some advantages and disadvantages with both approaches, but FBA is usually recommended in most cases, because Amazon offers competitive prices and handles returns as well as costumer service. With this approach you can focus on growing your business. Furthermore, the products that are handled via FBA often have mopre conversions. That’s because of the Amazon’s algorithm which chooses to rank these products the highest, both, organically and through paid advertisement.
No matter which solution fits you best, you have to register an account before you can start selling. We can help you through the account registration, which often can be a difficult and time consuming process.
