Takeaways: 

  • Don’t put all your eggs in one basket(Work with multiple retailers).
  • If the product is a private label start selling on big box stores first and If tis a branded product start selling on Amazon first and then move to big box stores
  • New sellers can get reviews using the amazon buying program
  • At the starting point, the conversion rate should be 30%

Quote of the Show:

For a branded product that goes out to the market, we would sell on Amazon first to help promote the product. So, I look at Amazon not only for selling but also as a marketing tool. They can help promote the brand, and after that we bring it out to big-box and other retailers.
