A product bundling strategy is quickly becoming a go-to for merchants — and it’s easy to see why. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that selling by product bundling helps merchants increase profits by an impressive 30%. For merchants who don’t offer product bundling yet, Q4 is a great time to launch your product bundling strategy. The holiday season has consumers primed and ready to purchase, with the total U.S. retail sales for November and December 2024 expected to hit $1.353 trillion.

AmazonBoxes and cogs with an arrow pointing to a laptop, pencil, and coinUpdates to Amazon’s FBA Return Policy and Fees for 2024

For Amazon sellers, returns and reverse logistics are an important part of your business. Amazon revolutionized online selling with their “try before you buy” and fast, free returns policies, resulting in an average return rate of 5%–15% across categories on the platform. At the same time, that policy yields high extra costs for sellers, some of which are unpredictable. In addition, returns contribute to significant waste. While Amazon has attempted to offset that waste with a donation program and a secondary market program, experts have suggested for years that the company should add disincentives for returns. As a result, Amazon’s 2024...

AmazonAmazon FBA truckAnnouncing: Amazon ISO-Compliant Seal Requirement for FTL and Intermodal Shipments

As of September 12, 2024, Amazon now requires full truckload (FTL) and intermodal shipments to be sealed with an ISO-17712-compliant, Amazon-approved RFID seal at pickup. If you are shipping less than a truckload (LTL), ISO-compliant seals will be placed at a carrier consolidation terminal before a shipment arrives at an Amazon facility. Amazon’s updated seal requirements were announced in late 2023 and have now come into full effect and enforcement. The goal of their new seal policy is to enhance security, minimize product loss and tampering, and protect product shipments. To remain compliant with Amazon regulations and ensure your products aren’t...

AmazonConveyor belt of boxes wrapping around a globeWhat Is Amazon 3P?

The Amazon marketplace is one of the largest in the world, with an estimated 37.6% of the U.S. eCommerce market in 2023. While much of those transactions occur through Amazon’s own sales, a significant portion of the platform’s revenue goes through third-party (3P) sellers. In fact, in Q1 of 2024, 3P sellers made up 61% of total Amazon sales. This guide will walk you through what is Amazon 3P, what it means to be a 3P seller on Amazon; how it compares to 1P, 2P, and hybrid selling; and how it impacts your business.

Of the estimated 2.5 million active sellers on Amazon, nearly 60% are third-party (3P) sellers. The remaining are 1P sellers who directly sell to Amazon via Vendor Central (be aware though, this program is invite-only). If you’re starting out on the marketplace, Amazon 1P selling is a promising option that can allow you to sell products through Amazon without the hassle of opening a storefront and managing your own brand. That comes with a few cons as well, but for nearly a million vendors, it’s a lucrative venture. In this article, we’ll discuss what Amazon 1P is and what selling on...

Most eCommerce businesses will likely see their biggest sales during Q4 thanks to the snowball of holiday shopping events. But there are other important eCommerce holiday planning  dates and “seasons” throughout the year that you must be aware of to cover all your bases (even the overlooked ones). Sales seasonality is nothing new for retailers, whether traditional brick-and-mortar or eCommerce. While the peaks and valleys of sales trends throughout the year are certainly top of mind as sellers plan for inventory cycles and even staffing needs, it’s important also to consider how seasonality impacts the other end of your business, namely,...
