All right, guys, I have a very special episode for you all today. Scott Needham and I from the Smartest Amazon Seller podcast have partnered together, where he interviewed Amy Wees, and she delivered some amazing, actionable strategies as to how you can grow your brand off of Amazon. I feel like this message is super timely for what a lot of us are experiencing massive amounts of overseas competition, a lot of margin reduction, an increase in FBA fees, etc. the list continues to go on and on, and while many people look for what's going to be the next best sales channel for me to get into, Amy shares some actionable tips and strategies, and I think you can experience a mindset shift in terms of understanding that getting into retail can open up some massive doors, an opportunity even bigger than what you're experiencing on Amazon. So go ahead, sit back, listen to this episode, take down some notes, and then when you're done, go ahead and follow the smartest Amazon seller podcast by Scott Needham.Intro (00:01:09) - One, two, three.Scott (00:01:12) - Welcome to the Smartest Amazon Seller podcast. I am your host, Scott Needham, an Amazon seller. And I have with me Amy Wees from Amazing At Home. She has been giving such amazing advice. I was at a conference with her 2 or 3 weeks ago in Boston, and when I heard her talk, I was like, all right, I've got to get her on the podcast to talk about this subject. I've never talked about it, and I know there's a few people that are probably at this threshold of how to take some of their products, some of their brands, to the next level, understand, what it can mean to branch outside of Amazon and perhaps even into retail stores. Amy, welcome to the podcast.Amy (00:01:57) - Thank you for having me, Scott. It's great to be here.Scott (00:01:59) - So, you know, I like to think that I'm, pretty good at selling on Amazon, but, the more I've been doing this podcast, the more that I like, I'm like, there's just way more things to consider.Scott (00:02:14) - in how to, you know, grow a brand and actually maybe turn a product into a brand. And, one of the first things that you think of in, in answering that question is like, well, are you just on Amazon? You know, have you if you expanded and like, have you found the best fits off of Amazon? So, let's just do a thought experiment where, you know, I have grown to, say $500,000 a year in sales, and it's all just on Amazon doing, you know, private label. What would you think be, you know, the next step.Amy (00:03:00) - Well, I think always you have to look at your customer base, right? who is your customer and where do they shop? What are their brands? Do they follow, you know, where do they expect to find you? and of course, we all love Amazon. I love Amazon too. I'm an Amazon seller as well. but when it comes to expansion, we really have to think and remember that e-commerce is 10% of all of retail.Amy (00:03:31) - E-commerce is 10% of all retail. So it's like, whoa, you know, and then Amazon is a little over half of the e-commerce chunk, but there's still so many cool places that we can sell our products both online and offline, in brick and mortar channels as well. So when you're thinking about, okay, you know, could I do something off Amazon? I know a lot of people too. They don't want to keep all of their eggs in the Amazon basket right now because it's just been yeah really crazy. Amazon's changed a lot right.Scott (00:04:03) - That's not a yeah it's not a great idea. now so expanding off Amazon and you know figuring out where your customers are or how to get to them, you know, the most natural might be, you know, Walmart Shopify but like and then the rest of, you know, brick and mortar you could set up wholesale. So say you're approaching you're approaching that question right there. what are some factors that you should be considering?Amy (00:04:34) - Yeah. So I mean, the first thing that you should consider is your margin.Amy (00:04:39) - So if you're on Amazon and you have just A3X, so you're sourcing it for $5, you're selling it for 15. If your margins are really narrow, you might not have enough margin to actually expand into retail and sell your products at wholesale prices. So when you're selling your products wholesale, in general, the general rule and of course, there's exceptions to this rule. But the general rule is you're selling that product for 50% of the retail price, and the retail price is whatever you're selling it for on Amazon. So it's not like you can say, oh, well, my MSRP is $40, but I sell it on Amazon for $20 on average because yeah.Scott (00:05:23) - That won't that won't fly.Amy (00:05:25) - No. Yeah exactly. And we know that Amazon's already doing you know comparison pricing across major retail channels. So the first thing that you should think about if you're going to start selling your products wholesale is do I have the margin to sell this product for 50% of that retail price? And, and still make a profit there? So that's, that's the.Scott (00:05:52) - Well, even take your, take your scenario of a $15, retail, and your, your, cost of goods is $5 per unit. if you were to sell it to a brick and mortar store for 750, is that worthwhile or is that good enough?Amy (00:06:12) - I don't. It wouldn't be for me. No. You know, that's the good thing about selling wholesale is that, that usually those brick and mortar stores pay shipping. So you're not paying for shipping, right? Okay. that's helpful, but, you know, that's a very narrow margin, right? I like to have enough profit to at least buy one more unit even on Amazon. Right. So, you generally want to be able to cut it in half from your retail price and then cut it in half again. to be able to, you know, make a, make a profit there. So, that's just a general rule. So pricing is your first. Yeah. Sorry. Go ahead.Scott (00:06:57) - So what you're saying is if, say, your cost is $5, if it was wholesaling for $20, you're like, okay.Scott (00:07:04) - That starts to make sense.Amy (00:07:05) - Yes. Exactly. Well no. If your cost is if your cost is $5, you want it to wholesale for ten, right? So you want to be able to double that, right. So if let's say I'm selling a product for $40 retail, the wholesale price is $20, I should source that for ten okay.Scott (00:07:27) - Yes. Right. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I, I think, we're just dancing around. Yeah, yeah, I understood you. and. Yeah. So, you know.Amy (00:07:40) - That's the, the first consideration is that you want to think about your margin and you know, whether you have enough margin there. and then the second thing is think about how your customers shop. So, you know, where do they shop? Do they mostly shop online for your type of product? And if so, what are the other, types of online channels that might be beneficial for you? So maybe you're selling a home decor item, right? Home decor.Amy (00:08:10) - And even on Amazon, home decor isn't really the best product. Those aren't the best products to sell on Amazon, because American consumers usually go on websites like Overstock and Wayfair to buy home decor type of goods. And if you'll notice, if you go to those online websites and you check out the prices of home decor compared to those prices for very similar products like I did an example of a gold vase. it was a, you know, on Amazon, these types of gold vases were like $19, right? Very cheap. You find the same thing on Wayfair and it's like 73 to $100. so if you are selling a home decor item, you might be surprised Amazon might not be the best place for you to sell your products, and you might discover that there are other really, really great places to sell. yeah. And then same thing. There's brick and mortar opportunities as well. little chain stores like Tuesday morning, for examp...

And today, we have another very, very special guest, Scott Needham. Scott is a longtime Amazon seller himself entrepreneur and he's also the founder of Smart Scout, which is an amazing tool that we're going to be talking about some today. Because, honestly, Scott, when you kind of unveiled this to me, a couple of months ago, blew my mind. I've never seen anything like this at all. We're going to be getting into your background and all of all of it, but for now, Scott, let's start at the very beginning. How did you become the Scott Needham of today? Where did you start, and bring us, bring us up to date, Scott. Sure. Thanks for having me. Uh, on the show. So, my background. Computer engineering, you know, I spent way too long in school learning about things that I don't use completely today, But I did learn how to program. And so, while I have been selling the law for a long time on Amazon, it's actually always from the capacity of a software developer, or either building, you know, automation and inventory management. Because in 20 12, there were no tools. There was no community, there was no, like, you know, so we kind of had to build things from scratch. My brother was scaling a wholesale business to over, I think, when I joined was already a eight million a year, and then got to, where we built, that's about 50 to 60 million a year. And with software, actually was less stressful when we are bigger than like, When we were small, so. a big believer in technology. and using very, you know, very slight changes to To improve your business. Yeah, that's amazing. So. So you kind of came from the computer science world and the data world right, and then you, you stepped into your brother's business where he was building a business and you got to see kind of the Amazon opportunity. Is that kind of where you kind of dip your toes in? Yeah. I mean, you don't spend a lot of time on Amazon to like, see it as a huge opportunity. Yeah. It's like just the sheer number of products. The volume, and I was kinda hooked on, if you know, most people can remember some of their first sales online, I think my first one was the i-pod Nano, I think like the fourth generation.

Es innegable la importancia que tienen los marketplaces para empresas y vendedores de cualquier tamaño y vertical, ya sea que quieran comenzar a vender online por medio de estas plataformas o aumentar sus ventas llegando a consumidores que quizás no conocerían sus productos de otra forma o que serían muy difíciles de alcanzar. Y entre todos los marketplaces, Amazon es el líder absoluto. Contar con presencia en Amazon es un paso decisivo para tener éxito. Sin embargo, para lograrlo no basta con crear una tienda en el marketplace, sino que hay que saber cómo posicionar los productos y lograr venderlos a la mayor cantidad de clientes posibles. Para ello hay agencias como BuyBoxer, que ayudan a las marcas a tomar el control del canal Amazon. Asimismo, hay un conjunto de herramientas de análisis de datos para vendedores y proveedores de servicios de Amazon, que permite a los usuarios ver y analizar datos de productos y tráfico para hacer crecer sus marcas, saber dónde anunciar, ver la competencia, encontrar productos rentables, visualizar el flujo de tráfico, etc. Y entre las más importantes del mercado está SmartScout. La agencia y la herramienta comparten el mismo dueño, y es Scott Needham, CEO y Fundador de SmartScout y BuyBoxer. Él tuvo la amabilidad de participar en este episodio para contarnos acerca de toda la ayuda que podemos recibir para escalar en Amazon sin fallar en el intento. Actualmente, BuyBoxer tiene como clientes a aproximadamente 500 marcas, y Scott destaca la excelencia de cada una, porque “siempre tienen la misma idea de que la próxima marca que llegue a sus manos va a ser la mejor”. Sostienen cierta exclusividad al momento de elegir sus clientes, y especialmente se centran en la búsqueda de marcas que no lideren ningún mercado o que no tengan un alto rango de ventas. En caso de que la marca que decida elegir sus servicios esté en esa posición, ellos lo consideran como “una oportunidad y empiezan la conversación”. “Nosotros podemos ayudar a que esa marca sea más competitiva en el mercado”, afirma Scott. Paralelamente a su agencia, Scott sabe bien lo que necesitan los vendedores para ampliar su éxito y brinda la herramienta de SmartScout, con la cual los vendedores pueden investigar productos, nichos y vendedores en Amazon. “Puedes ver el tráfico de un producto a otro y si uno pone su producto puede descubrir lo que existe. Es una herramienta con la que cada persona puede tener su propia perspectiva y si uno tiene la imaginación de crear cosas, es posible tener su propio bundle”, con lo que se trata de ofrecer varios productos o servicios relacionados y venderlos conjuntamente a un precio normalmente más reducido, pero con la ventaja de que contamos con toda la información necesaria para hacerlo de manera correcta. Son varios los filtros con los que cuenta SmartScout y uno de los más poderosos se basa en que, “si una marca está vendiendo en Amazon retail, entonces podemos enfocarnos en marcas que pueden ser abiertas a trabajar con otros vendedores”. “También hay un filtro para FBA. Si una marca tiene un ganador o cinco ganadores, yo puedo saber y hacer un filtro para decidir en qué tipo de marca quiero enfocarme”, agrega Scott. Sin dudas, el tiempo que ahorra uno en encontrar marcas o productos es muy significante porque ya “empieza viendo los mejores” desde el inicio de la búsqueda. Con este software se puede ver primero las marcas que tienen potencial antes de cerrar un acuerdo comercial. “Cada semana tratamos de dar más data. Recientemente agregamos información histórica de las marcas, si están creciendo, quiénes son sus competidores y cuáles son las categorías en las que venden, todo para saber un poco más de la marca. Se puede ver cuál es la oportunidad que hay en Amazon, y si no llegan, o sí, a su potencial”, remarca Scott. Por otro lado, esta herramienta es una gran oportunidad para todo tipo de arbitraje, ya que es posible darse cuenta de las oportunidades de los productos y las marcas, pero especialmente es poderosa para los vendedores que decidieron volcarse al modelo de Wholesale. Si vamos a hablarle a una marca para llegar a un acuerdo, siempre es mejor presentarse a la negociación con el conocimiento necesario para sacarle el mayor provecho posible. Entre otras funciones con las que cuenta SmartScout está FBA Calculator, que es para la gente que quiere saber si un ASIN es rentable o no; Brand Score, que es para ver qué tan buenas son todas las páginas del listado de una marca; y Seller Tools, que ayuda a filtrar las marcas por ganancia, categorías, ventas, entre otras cosas. Scott alienta a utilizar esta herramienta y deja para nuestra audiencia un cupón de descuento de 50 dólares para suscribirse a SmartScout, mediante el código WOE50. ¡No desaproveches esta gran oportunidad!
