You know, what do you see going on in the Amazon space right now? And some of the advice and strategies that you would recommend to establish sellers right now?Kevin 00:00:23 Yeah, that's a tough one because some of them are going to need to pivot, and it's going to be a little bit of a hard pivot because in the past on Amazon, there's a lot of people that built successful businesses and even exited successful businesses just basically finding opportunities. Sticking a name on it, you know, on a label on it and selling it, then selling that to an aggregator. But that's those days are pretty much over. I'm not going to say it doesn't happen. It could still happen here and there. And then there's a lot of people, as you know, that may have started with a small amount of money, and that's way more difficult now.Kevin 00:00:52 Not that you can't do it, but, you know, I always say, I always hear stories that people say, yeah, I started with 500 bucks and now I got an eight figure business. And I always say, RBS, you might have started with $500. That may be true. But two weeks later, your uncle gave you ten grand. Or somebody. You got a credit card or you did something. There's just no way it did. That just flat out does not happen. from 500. There was something else along the way. It might not be the money out of your pocket, but there's something else along the way in those days are much more difficult now. And as Amazon's you know Amazon's everything is more towards rewarding brands. You know the brand registry the brand analytics the all the different you know the advertising thing. Everything is there trying to reward those brands. It's because they're trying to clean it up as well. They don't want just this hodgepodge, flea market on there. They want, you know, people.Kevin 00:01:41 They're coming for brands. And a lot of people think they're a brand and they're really not. I say that if you don't have at least 3000 searches a month on your brand name on Amazon, on Amazon, because Amazon is so big, you're not a brand. If people are not looking for you, buy that that brand name and typing that in and you can see it in brand analytics and it's got like 3000 searches a month or more, then you're actually not a brand. You're just a product. And so that's where a lot of people get confused. And a brand is not a logo. A brand is not a name. That's part of it. But a brand is what emotion is a feeling. It's an evolution of something that people feel identity towards this or a passion towards this, or it represents something that they believe in or that they feel. And that's where a lot of big sellers are making mistakes. you know, you see all these, these, Chinese brands on Amazon, that strange brand names like Z, X, T, Y, or whatever can even pronounce a damn thing, right? That's not a brand.Kevin 00:02:37 I mean, they're doing that because it's easy to get a trademark on that. They can. Those things can fly through, the trademark process really easy so they can get the brand registry and all that. But those aren't aren't really brand names. so I think you need to switch more toward brand and you need to switch to more towards they need to they need to own their customer lists. you know, on Amazon, you don't get that data anymore. You used to be able to download that data. And so if you're selling, FBA, FBA on Amazon, you don't get that data. If you're doing FBM, you can still get it. And there used to be a loophole like with tax jar that got, I think just recently got shut down. A lot of privacy issues there. But you need to figure out ways to actually get that data and whether that's switching over, you know, if you're selling on Shopify or WooCommerce, start using Amazon Prime. the new, ship with Prime, whatever it's called Shopify shipping.Josh 00:03:25 Shop with Prime. Yeah.Kevin 00:03:27 Yeah. Where the Amazon will fulfill it for you off your, Shopify store. So you get that extra customer service level. Plus you get the customer data, plus anything you're selling on Amazon. It's just a huge market. You've got to figure out ways to try to get them into your ecosystem with, creative inserts and creative marketing stuff. I mean, like, one of the things that we do with one of my brands, for example, I have a pet brand of dog treats, and whenever someone buys these dog treats off of Amazon, you know, they spend 30 bucks to buy these dog treats. We will have a really cool. It's not just like a business card, but like something that really gets their attention. into the in the package and it says, hey, get a sample of all of our treats and we'll do a zero plus free plus shipping offer. So it's like if we have, for example, if we're selling bully sti...
Harnessing MCPs for Automation: Revolutionizing Amazon Seller Workflows Episode Overview In this episode, Danny McMillan and Leo Automations explore the transformative potential of MCPs for Amazon sellers. They discuss how these tools can streamline workflows, enhance productivity, and ultimately drive business growth by automating mundane tasks. This episode explores automation in amazon selling, efficiency through mcp integration with practical insights for immediate implementation. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard created by Anthropic in November 2024. Think of it as the USB-C port for AI applications. Before USB-C, every device needed its own cable—phone chargers, laptop chargers, headphones, all different. USB-C created one universal standard. MCP does the same thing for AI connections to business tools.
For years, international toy sellers had a semi-secret shortcut to ship goods under $800 tariff free. That shortcut? Gone. And if you're not prepared, your business could feel it fast. As of August 29th, the De Minimis Exemption was officially eliminated for many international shipments to the U.S. The change, quietly confirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, caused immediate disruption. Over 25 countries (including the UK, Germany, and Japan) paused shipments to reassess compliance. Platforms like Temu and Wish began overhauling logistics, while DTC creators abroad faced surprise duties, delays, and frustrated customers.In this episode of Making It in the Toy Industry, I'm breaking down what the end of the De Minimis Exemption actually means for creators like you. This change isn't just about shipping fees and forms, it's about who wins, who loses, and how you can thrive in a newly leveled playing field.Using a mind map, I'll guide you through the four big areas impacted by this shift: the immediate chaos it's caused, what strategies and tools are suddenly more valuable, what old tricks are now holding brands back, and who's rising to the top as this new landscape takes shape.This episode is a wake-up call and a strategic roadmap, all in one.Listen for These Important Moments:[00:09:12] - Avoid tariffs and delays. Warehousing in the U.S. now gives you speed, savings, and a serious competitive edge.[00:11:53] - New customs rules are hitting Temu and Shein hard, giving legit brands room to shine and reclaim their sales.[00:21:00] - Stable SKUs and digital add-ons help offset costs and keep products flowing under new import rules.[00:25:50] - Solo sellers outside the U.S. now face bigger delays and thinner margins. Without a warehouse, you're stuck.[00:29:54] - U.S.-based creators, brands with warehousing, and fulfillment partners are leading the pack.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!Support the showPopular Masterclass!

In this episode, Dave delves into the business model and financial performance of Pattern.com, a previous guest on the podcast and the biggest seller on Amazon, as they prepare to go public. He talks about why Pattern's business model is a little odd, and their business statistics like revenue and profit margins. Will Pattern be able to go public? Here's what Dave thinks. 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! Pattern.com is one of the biggest sellers on Amazon, among Anker and Sports Research. They are one of the few sellers on Amazon to make it to the top while also filing to go public, but will Pattern succeed? Personally, I'm not so sure. They have a little bit of an odd business model while also marketing themselves a little oddly. The Big Takeaway Pattern is one the largest sellers on Amazon, who shifted from selling their own products to becoming exclusive distributors. As an exclusive distributor, Pattern buys inventory instead of taking it on consignment. Their revenue growth is significant, but profit margins are low. Comparing against traditional straightforward business accelerators, analysis shows competitors have better profit margins. The company markets itself as a SaaS provider, but operates more of a brand accelerator. The market for brand accelerators is becoming crowded which will make it hard for Pattern to receive new clients consistently.

Many Amazon sellers from China excel at supply chain and operations, but struggle with branding and Western culture. This episode uncovers the hidden gap and how bridging East and West can change the game. Join us as we welcome Feng Xiaoxiao, a distinguished leader in the Chinese e-commerce community and a driving force behind 4,000 Amazon sellers in Shenzhen. Known as Professor Xiaoxiao, Feng shares her compelling journey from Shenzhen to New York, where she is currently pursuing a master's in integrated marketing at NYU. Feng provides insightful perspectives on the hurdles Chinese Amazon sellers face, such as high advertising costs and cultural misunderstandings, which impede their efforts to establish robust brands in the U.S. market. Her dedication to bridging these cultural gaps offers a unique lens into the e-commerce challenges faced by both Chinese and American sellers. Listen in as we explore the complexities of intellectual property (IP) awareness among Chinese sellers, heightened by Amazon's strict IP policies. Through education and adaptation, many are now prioritizing innovation and registering patents, although IP infringement remains a significant issue. We discuss the contrasting strengths of American and Chinese sellers, where Americans shine in innovation and branding, and Chinese sellers excel in product enhancement and cost reduction. This episode also touches on the misconceptions Americans may have about modern China and the potential for cross-cultural learning to enhance e-commerce strategies on platforms like Amazon. In a fascinating conversation about cross-cultural marketing, we dive into the intersection of Chinese and American e-commerce sellers, emphasizing the necessity of mutual learning. Feng shares success stories and highlights the importance of cultural understanding and aesthetic alignment in improving brand appeal. We also discuss strategies for targeting specific U.S. audiences, using tools like Facebook data to find unique market positions. As we wrap up, the discussion turns to the opportunities for collaboration between Chinese and American sellers, aiming to foster fair competition and mutual growth in the competitive landscape of global e-commerce.

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, the FBA University boys discuss the true costs to start an Amazon business in 2025!
Thinking about expanding your Amazon business beyond the U.S.? In this episode of Lunch With Norm, international expansion expert Alexandra Ramirez reveals why smart Amazon sellers are scaling faster, spending less, and facing almost no competition in certain European markets. You'll learn: - Why the UK, Germany, and France are the easiest and most profitable markets to enter. - How to navigate VAT registration, compliance, and cross-border logistics. - The truth about Pan-EU FBA and how it can help you sell in up to 7 countries with only 2 VAT numbers. - Common mistakes sellers make with EPR eco taxes, labeling, and cultural localization. - Real examples of sellers who discovered their products were already being resold overseas—without their knowledge. With over 500 million online shoppers in Europe and lower market saturation compared to the U.S., the opportunity for growth has never been bigger. Allie breaks down the step-by-step process for entering new marketplaces, from conducting keyword research to tailoring your listings for cultural differences in each country. You'll also hear about the hidden costs and compliance traps that can shut your listings down if ignored, and how the right strategy can make European expansion profitable from day one.
