No matter where you source facts and figures, whether from independent research firms, online platforms themselves, or marketing agencies, there is consensus that while the world is navigating a challenging period, e-commerce will continue growing at a breakneck pace. Emarketer’s Global Ecommerce Forecast for 2021 projected worldwide e-commerce sales to hit 4.921 trillion in 2021, estimating growth beyond 5.5 trillion for 2022.

For businesses not working with an agency and having off-site or retail marketing efforts that need attention, it may seem like a challenging task to populate Amazon product pages/listings. Many businesses assign someone in-house to add the SKU list to Amazon, fill in the essentials, and then run ads and other off-site promotions to drive purchases.

Selling on Amazon has opened the opportunity to expand into international markets and grow your e-commerce business. In the US, 74% of shoppers start their product searches on Amazon, and in large European marketplaces, up to 80% of consumers shop on Amazon. Furthermore, 90% of these consumers end their search with a purchase. Leading Amazon markets such as the UK (579M), US (2.45B), and Germany (429.7M) receive millions of visits each month, clearly indicating the market opportunity but also high competition and a need for thorough research and planning.

Good news for Amazon sellers. Online shopping continues to grow steadily, though not as rapidly as in 2020 and 2021.

Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) users are driven by the need to keep up with product turnover, maintain manageable stock volumes, and the appeal of having Amazon handle the workforce requirements associated with shipping and warehousing.

Success on Amazon relies on having stock consistently available and in the right quantities. While this may sound painfully obvious, it is possibly the largest stumbling block that sellers encounter on Amazon. For many sellers, the Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) route appears to be an easy operational choice while offering many other business benefits. However, FBA inventory management can be more work than anticipated, and poor execution directly impacts a seller’s bottom line.

An Amazon Seller or Vendor account is an incredible sales channel for your products. However, it comes with its own set of rules and limitations.

Have we lost the high street forever?

Following nationwide lockdowns, the impact has been so significant that a return to 'normal' seems improbable.
