Amazon is a complex channel that presents unique challenges and opportunities. To generate profitable growth, it is essential to identify underperforming areas within existing Amazon operations and implement strategic initiatives that drive profitability and sustainable revenue growth.
This involves a data-driven analysis of current business performance, uncovering operational inefficiencies, and deploying tailored strategies that address immediate challenges while building long-term momentum. The focus is on creating scalable solutions that transform Amazon into a significant revenue driver.
Whether running marketplaces entirely in-house, outsourcing to full-service agencies, or using a combination of both, brands often need guidance in hiring the right people internally and partnering with the right agencies.
Each business has unique needs, and success depends on building and training high-performing in-house Amazon teams, supplemented by strategic partnerships with reputable agencies. Done right, this approach ensures brands have the agility and expertise required to effectively navigate the fast-paced eCommerce landscape.
Omni-channel CPG companies need to treat third-party marketplaces as a separate division that collaborates closely with retail and DTC teams, integrating as a core element of a comprehensive customer acquisition and growth strategy.
While messaging and brand identity must be consistent, they should also be adapted to each marketplace's individual requirements and opportunities.
The key lies in ensuring consistency while optimizing each channel’s unique strengths.
To succeed, brands must cross-pollinate customer-growth best practices across their retail, DTC, Amazon, and other digital distribution channels.
Marketplaces are no longer “one-shot sale” channels; the focus is on not only attracting new customers but also engaging them post-purchase, maximizing lifetime value through loyalty programs, targeted communication, and high-quality customer experiences.
The key is creating a cohesive and customer-centric approach that fosters long-term loyalty and growth.
