Amazon aggregators took the ecommerce world by storm during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, as these companies navigate economic volatility and shifts in the investor market, they're focusing on building viable business models with long-term potential.For this Retail Remix episode, we revisit a session from the 2022 Retail Innovation Conference & Expo, which features executives from three of the top Amazon aggregators: Acquco, Elevate Brands and Perch. In conversation with Nicole Silberstein, Ecommerce Editor for Retail TouchPoints, they discuss: Their unique approaches to identifying and growing Amazon brands using data;  How they're navigating market volatility and the stabilization of COVID-19 online shopping behaviors; and Tips and recommendations for building an “acquisition ready” marketplace business.

The launch phase of a new product on Amazon is critical for building momentum for your brand! Matt Botha is an expert on Mergers and Acquisitions of Amazon businesses and the Associate Director of M&A at Elevate Brands. Matt discusses how to build your brand's presence both online and in person.  In this episode, you'll hear about increasing your BSR using external traffic, using a mailing list for your Amazon brand, and measuring and raising your conversion rates. Takeaways: To build brand presence, some online brands use a physical approach and go to in-person events that they know their customers attend or view.If you are selling on Amazon, you can use your actual website to build out your mailing list which you can then leverage to drive external traffic to your Amazon listings. Your emailing list is a great way to stay in touch with your customers, build your relationship with them, and as you launch more products, increase the average order value. It's more important to have a highly engaged mailing list than a massive mailing list. You need to clean up your mailing list to maintain a high conversion rate by removing the unengaged people on the list. When people are shopping on Amazon, they know what they are looking for and are searching based on specific keywords. Because of this, you need to know what those keywords they are looking for are, especially during the launch of a product. Using paid ads on Amazon at the beginning of a product launch provides the initial momentum that will drive organic traffic to the listing. The more momentum built up at the beginning, the more sustainable the success.Companies that are acquiring Amazon brands are looking for sellers that have built good brands and, very importantly, have built great teams. Quote of the Show:“If you build a relationship with your customer, your sale doesn't end at the one product” - Matt BothaLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-botha/ Email: matt@elevatebrands.comCompany website: https://www.elevatebrands.com/  Shout Outs:Alteryx - Data Science and AnalyticsWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTubeAmazon Legends is sponsored by Argometrix, the authority on, and leading supplier of, competitive intelligence for online retail.

We'd like to welcome our very special

TJ Hyland of Elevate Brands joins the E-commerce with Coffee?! podcast to talk about the aggregator model and the nuances of how businesses are acquired in order to “Elevate” brands in many different ways. Some entrepreneurs simply want to exit brands and cash out in a responsible manner, and some want to continue their growth but are limited by capital among other things. Aggregators can be a solution. TJ joins Nate Svodoba on this episode and walks us through important details like what makes certain businesses attractive to the aggregator model, what entering the aggregator model looks like, and some interesting management points like how a strong Amazon presence pays off on other channels as well. What to listen for: TJ runs through the aggregator model, its history, and some important examples like Elevate. Entering the aggregator model can be nuanced. Many times entrepreneurs will cash out in order to move onto another project with newly acquired capital, but the best transitions for the business often happen before the founders are ready to part ways with their business. Especially given our modern blockchain setting, giving sellers the option to cashout in cryptocurrency is just another way of giving sellers the freedom to handle their payout however they wish, and makes diversification just that much easier. The aggregator model doesn't just look to acquire as many businesses as possible. There are certain indicators that make a business more attractive for acquisition, such as room for growth and a low amount of skews and variations. TJ dives into more details on this. The majority of online buyers are checking Amazon before they check anywhere else, and Amazon's shipping infrastructure has become the standard for customer expectations, so a strong presence on Amazon is both crucial and beneficial for your brand off the platform, as well. That being said, depending solely on Amazon can also be dangerous. Every brand is different, and every entrepreneur has different wants and needs, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all to cashing out. At the same time, this certainly isn't the business to be feeling around in the darkness for what feels right. Having somebody on your side that knows what direction to take can be what makes or breaks your business or exit.

eCommerce UnderCover was excited to have TJ Hyland, Director of Global Partnerships at Elevate Brands, join us on the show. With all of the news coverage about the investment into Amazon aggregators, we have started to reach out to these teams to dig deeper into the business models and the strategies they are employing. TJ was kind enough to oblige. Some of the topics we covered with TJ included: Elevate Brands was founded in 2017...so it is not copycatting like some of the newer participants in this space What did James, Jeremy, and Ryan know or see back in 2017 that the rest of the market was missing? How Elevate Brands grows the brands they acquire and the insights they have that the initial founders may not What is the technology angle and how is the M&A process automated? Business founders generally want to run their own businesses...what incentives are in place to ensure that the founders of the brands that are purchased stay around to operate them or is this not a concern? What actually happens after a brand is acquired...what is the process and what is the experience like for the brand seller? Was international always in the business plan or is this a new strategy? As new competitors keep coming into the rollup market, will the prices of brands that everybody wants to buy just get too high? Is the arbitrage disappearing? What can we expect from Elevate as the market matures?

One day you will no longer be operating your business, and it is best to make sure you are set up to exit on your own terms.  Or at least get the best possible value. Most of my understanding of the buy/sell process has come from speaking to people who have bought and sold individual businesses and from brokers. In this episode, I speak with Jeremy Bell, the head of Mergers and Acquisition at Elevate Brands.  His company purchases Amazon businesses as part of the “aggregator” model, and it was interesting to get his perspective on the buy/sell process.
