Vendor Central Catalog Management
Transcription
As an Amazon supplier, you probably know that each product can have many sellers or vendors on Amazon. However, how do some sellers manage to capture the buy box while others get sidetracked to the list at the bottom, regardless of why this happens, you want to ensure that your product pricing follows a few general guidelines to stand out on a marketplace like Amazon, while also leaving you the maximum possible margins?

Either manually or through the use of automated repricing tools like repri express, you can adjust the price of your product to match the lowest amount at that time.
Repricing, however is not a sustainable strategy over the long run. In most cases also you need to constantly adjust the prices to (a) ensure that you’re matching up and (B) to prevent losses at time when all other retailers increase their. Using a tool is always better than middling with pricing manually.
These re-pricing tools usually allow you to set the baseline for each product below, which you’d not want to compete on pricing. They also adjust prices dynamically all day long. So you can make the most of a price increase without even getting involved. When it comes to the buy box, price is not the only consideration.
Indeed. You want to aim for the lowest existing fair at that point in time. But other factors also come into the picture. This is why getting to the buy box takes time in patience. While there are some parameters, like a lower shipping time that you can manipulate, you cannot force a better selling rating instantly.
What you can do is reduce your shipping time to under 14 days, or as soon as possible while Amazon has never said it. Products sold through Amazon fulfillment, as opposed to direct fulfillment, get to the buy box more often as they have invariably the shortest delivery time. Remember that customers trust to moderate, to high value product more when its price doesn’t swing like a pendulum.
You’re also looking to sell on Amazon for a long time to come. It is therefore better to keep the price stable and as close to the market value of the product as possible. The main aim of a price reduction should always be to increase to Amazon sales rank, which in turn can increase organic sales later.
When you launch a new product, the assurance offer a discounted. Likewise make bundled purchases lucrative by offering a price cut holiday season demands a sale from every retailer. So you shouldn’t make an exception either. During this time, traffic to the Amazon site is high higher. So you may also consider investing in sponsored listings in all other instances, keep the price stable with few deviations.
