What We Do
Who We Are
If you want to be a successful Amazon seller, you have to work smarter than harder. One of the ways to do this is through delegation. You can delegate many tasks, like order fulfillment management, which Amazon FBA consultants are extremely good at.
Why do you need Amazon FBA consultants? Can't you do it on your own? How can they help your business? Let us find out in this article.
You have a lot on your plate at the moment. You are checking buyer messages and Seller Performance notifications and leaving comments on the review section. Also, finding wholesale products to sell on Amazon and deciding when you should ship, and more. This is your routine until the coronavirus pandemic enters the picture, making your job more difficult.
Several governments imposed lockdown or stay-at-home policies to curb the spread of the pandemic in their respective countries. They also put travel restrictions in a few states or provinces, which has affected the supply chain worldwide.
Aside from that, the pandemic has caused Amazon FBA sellers to scramble left and right when the online retail giant announced policy changes below:
IPI, which stands for Inventory Performance Index, measures your inventory management skills. It weighs four factors, such as excess inventory, sell-through, stranded inventory, and in-stock inventory.
Effective since August 16, 2020, Amazon increased the IPI minimum threshold requirement from 400 to 500. If you get a score lower than 500, you should make adjustments immediately, or your account will be subject to storage volume limits.
Here is another policy update about storage volume limits. Despite having an IPI above 500, several of your ASINs may be subject to quantity limits.
Its purpose is to maximize the selection of products for customers during the holiday season and prevent unpopular products from occupying valuable space in Amazon fulfillment centers.
Okay, it seems obvious that Amazon will do anything to free up their warehouses shelves. Pre-COVID-19, Amazon charged around $0.25 to $1.90 per item.
But effective July 14, 2020, Amazon is waiving fees for free from their fulfillment centers. They didn't emphasize how long this free removal promotion is. But you may take advantage of this and finally remove your products that haven't been sold these past few months.
Many sellers have been surprised and rattled because of these updates. This could have been prevented if you have dedicated Amazon FBA consultants that will oversee and check changes in policies from time to time. They are also willing to help you with some tasks that we will discuss below.
Here are the tasks that you can delegate:
What to sell on Amazon FBA? It would help if you had a good eye in searching for profitable and high-quality products. Amazon FBA consultants have extensive experience in product sourcing. They have a large network of reputable manufacturers, suppliers, and wholesalers where they can get Amazon wholesale products. They can also identify what products sell during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since this year is all about quantity limit policies, you need someone who is an expert in navigating the ins and outs of Amazon FBA. They will make sure that your inventory is regularly updated and well-stocked. Hire a consultant that has its own warehouses that can help you solve storage and ASIN-level limits. In times like this, you need a backup plan just in case you need to switch to FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant) setup.
Some Amazon FBA consultants are willing to inspect, pack, wrap, and bundle your products based on your requirements before shipping it to Amazon fulfillment centers. In this way, you won't have to settle with Amazon's generic packaging and logo when you let them handle your packages. Instead, you have a custom-branded packaging that helps spread brand awareness and brand loyalty.
You know how frustrating it is to get hold of Amazon's support representatives. Amazon FBA consultants can also act as your dedicated account managers that will take care of customer service and handle your support tickets. They can even deal with your FBA reimbursements if you have any. Rest assured, your entire Amazon operations are in excellent and capable hands.
It would be a bonus if you found someone who can also create great product listings and advertise your products through Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns. They can optimize your product detail pages, starting from its title, description, and backend keywords. They have experience in setting up sponsored ads to get your products out there. Choose a consultant that is well-versed in Amazon SEO and PPC.
Online sellers are now facing several challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge of holiday shopping orders, and erratic Amazon policy changes. That is why you need a helping hand that will take some of the burdens off your shoulders, like hiring Amazon FBA consultants. Look for a consultant who is skilled in product sourcing, inventory management, packaging, account management, and product listing and PPC marketing. In this way, you won't be left behind once the economy recovers, and you will be ahead of your competitors.
