Topics this week include: INFORM Act requirements, Update to low-inventory-level fee In the News Links: Amazon’s Fast Delivery Moat Amazon Launches in South Africa Questions answered on today's call: I received my first bulk order and found a few things that were of concern. I know that going forward with our orders, I’m going to want to make sure all of the product is perfect. That said, my question for you is, did there come a point in your experience where you felt confident in your supplies to do their job well without you needing to look it over? It’s incredibly time consuming on our part but I’m fearful someone will order one of our products and it won’t be satisfactory if I don’t double check their work. I want to add FAQ questions to my listings. Am I able to generate my own questions and post the responses? For example, if someone is wondering if they can be washed, I wanted to provide an answer. ⬇️ Click to view my available resources! https://andyisom.com/ Some products and resources mentioned in this episode may no longer be offered.

In this episode, we dive into the crucial role of product variations in building brand equity and customer trust. When a listing offers only one style, size, or color, it may lack brand appeal and hinder brand establishment. Using Geometry as a case study, we explore why adding variations is vital to the success of your products.

Topics this week include: Listing best practices, Update to FedEx shipping methods, New Price Discounts dashboard In the News Links: All Eyes on China’s E-Commerce Giants Council Post: Rethinking Brand Management On E-Commerce Marketplaces Questions answered on today's call: When launching, would you recommend sending a smaller amount of inventory to start then more as needed, or a larger quantity first to avoid out of stock. (Extra inventory will be in my garage) If asking strangers or acquaintances to purchase our product at launch, I heard it’s best to have them search your keyword instead of sending a link. How do you know the best keyword to provide? When Remy & Roo shares links to your products on instagram, is it an affiliate link? Can you earn commission or pay less in fees if using your own affiliate link? If an influencer shares your product and people shop through their affiliate link, how is that fee paid out? Does it come out of Amazon’s fees or is there extra fees we pay as the seller? ⬇️ Click to view my available resources! https://andyisom.com/ Some products and resources mentioned in this episode may no longer be offered.

I have a trademark registration in process with legal zoom. Can I still use my application number to get pre-approved for brand registry? I just listened to podcast #102 and it made it seem like you had to use IP accelerator to be pre-approved. I have listened and read up on and sections in the course on how to get my product shipped from from the manufacturer in China to my door in the US. My manufacturer says I need to handle this on my own, such as finding a freight forwarder, etc. I wanted to see if you could give any other advice that's not necessarily listed in the course? ⬇️ Click to view my available resources! https://andyisom.com/ Some products and resources mentioned in this episode may no longer be offered.
