The Big Takeaway Anker Electronics is one of the largest Amazon sellers in the world. The company was founded by an ex-Google engineer, Stephen Yang.

Dave dives into the huge business of FilterBuy, one of the largest e-commerce companies on Amazon that actually does NOT use FBA. FilterBuy specializes in selling HVAC filters and is founded by David Heacock, a good friend of mine from way back in the day. We explore the company's impressive growth, why David chose to manufacture from the US and why logistics are the main business that David is in. With that being said, what business are we all in? Get mystery shopped for your brand and 2 competitors of your choice FOR FREE! Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Amazon makes it really hard for sellers to avoid using FBA. FBA sellers get faster shipping times, better customer service and a nice badge that says "Prime Delivery" on your listing. With all of these things stacked against FBM Sellers, how do you succeed? To answer that question, we tell you about how Filterbuy became the biggest FBM seller on Amazon based on my interview with CEO and founder, David Heacock. The Big Takeaway FilterBuy is the largest seller on Amazon that does not use FBA. David Heacock kind of foresaw how important American manufacturing would be and was one of the first to adopt the strategy. The company's success is more than just product cost. David credits it mostly to efficient logistics. Manufacturing in America allows for reduced freight costs and just-in-time inventory unlike manufacturing in China. Pre-orders or Kickstarter launches are actually a viable strategy that most sellers sleep on. There's significant cash flow opportunities on Kickstarter and you also get to order the exact amount of opportunity for those pre-orders, which is a great strategy for the pre-launch period of new products. Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to FilterBuy and Its Success 05:52 - David Heacock's Vision and Strategy 12:27 - The Importance of Logistics and Manufacturing in America 20:16 - Long-Term Thinking in Business 24:08 - Conclusion and Key Takeaways David, I apologize that we weren't able to get your actual interview up but we were really grateful for the opportunity to interview you nonetheless.

In this episode, Dave talks about the recent IPO of a major Chinese Amazon seller, SainStore, and explores key insights from their filings. He covers the diverse brand strategies employed by the company (and a lot of other Chinese companies, in fact), the viability of the aggregator model in China, and the company's profitability metrics, inventory management practices, and even their social credit score. Another Amazon seller has gone public... but in China. It seems that the aggregator model has been working well over in the East, but what specifically are they doing to succeed? Here's the 5 takeaways that I learned when looking over this company's IPO fillings. Struggling with tariffs? Unsure about upcoming changes? Let's talk! With Portless, you only pay tariffs after your customers pay you – so your cash always moves faster than your costs. Schedule a risk assessment and leverage tariff deferment today. All new customers get $1,000 to reinvest in their business. The Big Takeaways The aggregator model in China is thriving, with companies creating multiple brands in-house (rather than purchasing companies at 4x and 5x). Profit margins for major Chinese sellers are significantly lower than Western expectations. SainSmart holds about 25% of their revenue in inventory, which could turn out to be a HUGE risk in cash flow. The social credit score in China is a real and impactful metric for businesses. 75% of SainSmart's revenue comes from Amazon, but they also diversify across other channels that you wouldn't expect. The need for sellers to chase off-Amazon sales for better pricing power is ABSOLUTELY crucial. Chinese sellers are adept at utilizing multiple sales channels, including lesser-known marketplaces. The business model for Amazon sellers is evolving towards higher revenue with lower margins.
