Getting Started on Amazon
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get started?
While every business is different, we strive to make the process straightforward and move things along as quickly as possible. That being said, response time from you is a component in how timely we execute your services. When you meet with your team they can give you more details on each service, what is needed and the time frame for completion.
I don't have any reviews. What can I do?
Fear not, Amazon released a great program for products with less than 30 reviews called Amazon Vine Voice. It helps sellers obtain important and powerful reviews. There are additional ways to get reviews, please read about them here: How to Get Amazon Reviews - The Right Way.
I worked really hard creating my product. I don't want someone to steal my idea. Is there anything I can do to protect it?
Yes. Amazon has a Brand Registry program that we recommend to all businesses who have products that are trademarked. Brand registry helps protect your intellectual property and create an accurate and trusted experience for customers on Amazon.
I have an advertising budget. Where do I begin?
Advertising is a little tricky but necessary, so it’s great that you planned and have a budget set aside. Our ad specialists know the intricacies of advertising on Amazon. There are several options for advertising which include: sponsored product ads, sponsored brand ads and product display ads. We’re happy to walk you through them and create a custom program for your products.
What is FBA shipping? Is it beneficial for my company?
FBA means Fulfillment by Amazon. You determine an amount of inventory to store at an Amazon Fulfillment Center. You prep and ship your products to the fulfillment center(s) rather than sending them directly to the customer. When customers order your products, Amazon then picks, packs and ships them.
We would look at your business to determine which shipping option is best. However, FBA has been helpful for many businesses, including our client who’s sales soared 200% in the first month of selling with FBA shipping. Read more about the approach we took here.
How can social media help my Amazon business?
