Introduction

Introduction

At this size, Amazon wholesale is no longer about finding a few profitable products. It is about relationships with brands, reliable supply and selling thousands of units every day without running out of stock or losing the Buy Box. This account sold only through wholesale, mainly in Beauty, with a mix of brands we represented directly and established wholesale suppliers. For more than 3 years, our agency has managed the full account, from brand relationships and sourcing to advertising, FBA inventory and pricing, helping it grow fast.

Client background

The challenges

How We Work

How we did it

Direct brand approvals

Wholesale suppliers

Product and profit checks

Advertising and brand care

FBA stock and Buy Box

01

Direct brand approvals in Beauty

We reached out to beauty brands directly and became an approved, authorized reseller, buying straight from the brand instead of through middlemen.

02

A wider wholesale supplier network

Alongside the direct brands, we worked with wholesale suppliers to add more proven products to the catalog.

03

Every product checked before buying

Demand, competition, Buy Box, FBA fees, referral fees, profit and ROI were checked before purchase orders were placed.

04

Full brand representation

For our brand partners we acted as their partner on Amazon, not just a reseller, keeping their listings accurate and presenting the brand well.

05

Advertising strategy for the brands

We ran Amazon advertising (PPC) with a clear strategy to drive more sales for the brands we represented.

06

FBA inventory and shipments

At thousands of units a day, stock must never run out. Purchase orders, FBA shipments and restocks were planned around sales speed.

07

Pricing and Buy Box

Prices were managed to win the Buy Box while protecting margins and the brands' pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What is Amazon wholesale?

Buying established brand-name products in bulk from the brand or an authorized distributor, then reselling them on Amazon, usually through FBA. You do not create your own brand or products.

Buying directly from the brand usually means better prices, reliable stock, proof of authenticity and a real partnership, such as running advertising for the brand. Distributors give access to many brands at once. This account used both.

Many beauty brands and some beauty products are restricted on Amazon, so sellers often need approval and proper invoices from the brand or an authorized supplier. We check what your account needs and help with the approval process.

Instead of only reselling, we act as the brand’s partner on Amazon: keeping listings accurate, protecting pricing and running advertising to grow the brand’s sales. Brands are much more likely to approve a reseller who offers this.

When you represent a brand directly, advertising helps more shoppers find its products, which grows sales for both you and the brand and makes you more valuable to them.

Fulfillment by Amazon. You send inventory to Amazon’s warehouses and Amazon stores, packs and ships every order, and handles customer service and returns for those orders.

You do. You pay the brands and suppliers and own the stock. We handle brand outreach, approvals, product analysis, advertising, shipments and pricing.

No. Amazon’s ordered product sales are the total value of orders before product cost, Amazon fees and advertising. We calculate profit and ROI for every product before buying it.

No honest agency can guarantee sales. Results depend on your budget, brands and category. We guarantee a careful, data-backed process and full transparency.
