Helping BRANDS Sell on Amazon Vendor and seller central…profitably

How brands can sell on Amazon - Guide


Selling on Amazon is a challenge – but provides opportunities to grow domestically and expand internationally


During the pandemic Amazon sellers(brands, distributors and wholesalers) benefitted from  Amazon’s popularity. Amazon was trusted as it had more stock, quicker delivery and was easier to buy from than other options. Post-pandemic just as supply chains get back towards “normal” there is an ever-evolving set of challenges for brands distributors and wholesalers to face.

As an example; Amazon has become “pay to play” and it is using its dominant position to force sellers to compete for customer attention using advertising.

As of Feb 2023 Amazon is making another attempt to phase out distributors without sole rights by dealing with the brands directly.

Amazon has expanded its distribution network in Ireland by opening a fulfilment centre with capability to hold millions of items in stock.

I have written a free guide for the brand owners explaining the effect of the new fulfilment centre along with how to list and sell on Amazon – and make money – just click on any of the the pictures below. The guide covers
