If you are a domestic reseller, the shopping season may present opportunities to help increase visibility and engage customers. Success during peak shopping periods often comes down to operational excellence and thoughtful strategy. Many resellers choose to use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to help provide fast, reliable delivery options. Strategic pricing approaches, including tools like Automatic Pricing, can help maintain competitiveness. Resellers may choose to focus their advertising efforts on products where they regularly obtain Featured Offer status, using analytics tools to help inform their promotional strategy and measure performance.
