Hi Sellers!
We asked for winning strategies in our Spring Sweepstakes, and you delivered! Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, these top tips from sellers like you can help you thrive this spring and beyond. Let's dive into the first 5 themes we saw throughout the event.
1. Master the FBA-FBM Balance
Many successful sellers utilize a strategic combination of Fulfillment by HAQM (FBA) and Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) options to optimize their operations. Understanding when to leverage each fulfillment method can be beneficial for sellers looking to maximize efficiency and profitability.
💬 Seller Insight: "Do not FBA everything. Wait to see what sells well via FBM and only FBA those items that sell well."
Key Takeaways:
📚 Resources for you:
2. Plan Ahead for Seasonal Success
Smart seasonal planning can make or break your Q2 performance. Start early and think regionally.
💬 Seller Insights: "Spring happens in phases across the country. May want to adjust shipping templates accordingly depending on where you are."...."Lead Time Buffer: Ship spring‑critical SKUs early so stock lands by March. Safety Stock: Increase buffer to 45–60 days for top spring sellers."
Key Takeaways:
📚 Resources for you:
3. Boost Visibility with Strategic Marketing
Great products need great visibility. Optimize your listings and advertising for maximum impact.
💬 Seller Insight: "I've learned that even the best product won't sell if no one sees it. What I wish I knew early is how important ad strategy is."
Key Takeaways:
📚 Resources for you:
4. Grow Smartly and Sustainably
Avoid overextending by starting small and scaling based on real data.
💬 Seller Insight: "As a newcomer, go slow, don't invest too much into the platform. Start with small MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity), see what sells, keep the flow going of that product."
Key Takeaways:
📚 Resources for you:
5. Master Your Financials
Understanding and controlling your costs is crucial for long-term success.
💬 Seller Insights: "Know your numbers when it comes to running ads. Aim for TACOS (ad spend divided by revenue) of less than 10% as a rough rule of thumb."..."Watch your margins. It's easy to get excited by sales and forget about fees, shipping, returns, and ads. Keep a simple spreadsheet or system to make sure you're not losing money on what looks like a 'win.'"
Key Takeaways:
