Episode #12
Amazon & Your CPG Products
Mark and Robb invite Joshua Blake onto the show to discuss the complex ecosystem of the Amazon marketplace. They talk about why it is now in your best interests to have your product or products represented on Amazon, especially if you’re trying to earn shelf space in a brick and mortar store.
They also cover a number of challenges that come with selling on Amazon, including resellers, price control, brand image and more. Joshua offers some advice for handling potentially issues.
Joshua walks through the different options that CPG sellers have on Amazon (selling direct, selling to Amazon or selling through a third party), offering pros and cons of each option.
