Maximizing Profitability And Growth On Amazon

by EcoD2C

August 9, 2023

In the highly competitive landscape of Amazon, natural brands are constantly seeking strategies to maximize profitability and fuel growth. As the digital marketplace evolves, you must adapt to changing consumer behavior and stay ahead of your competitors. Here are key strategies that can help you thrive on Amazon in 2023.

Amazon Margins and Catalog Strategy

One of the critical aspects of Amazon success is understanding your margins and devising a sound catalog strategy. Know the profitability on a per-product basis and update that quarterly at most so you can understand your channel profitability.

Determining the successful price points and packaging sizes within your category can be instrumental in gaining a competitive edge. For instance, comparing pack sizes based on highest rank versus highest revenue or profit can help optimize your product offerings.

Case Study: Are Intro Offers Leading to Repeat Purchases of Larger Pack Sizes?

A hot sauce brand and a beverage brand analyzed their intro offers to ascertain if they led to repeat customer revenue and larger pack size purchases. After analyzing the sales by pack size, the hot sauce brand identified that 40% of their sales came from the smaller pack size along with 48% of their repeat revenue. They identified that the smaller pack size was integral to their business.

The beverage brand on the other hand found that only 12% of their revenue was from the smaller pack size. Additionally, this size has lower profitability. The brand decided to cut the smaller pack size and invested in larger pack sizes. The beverage brand’s decision resulted in increased profitability and revenue, showcasing the impact of thoughtful catalog management.

Leaning into LTV and repeat customer rate

Your ad dollars should be getting you more than just the initial sale.

Focusing solely on the initial sale might limit a brand’s long-term growth potential. It’s crucial to emphasize Lifetime Value (LTV) and Repeat Customer Rate in your advertising strategies. By calculating the Lifetime Advertising Cost of Sale (LACOS) based on the repeat customer rate, you can create a strategy that maximizes growth while controlling advertising costs.

Omnichannel Advertising Strategy

How do your other marketing channels impact Amazon sales?

Omnichannel Brand Voice

Defining the buzzword

Multichannel means being present on many channels that are siloed, whereas omnichannel emphasizes a cohesive voice and strategy across all channels.

An essential aspect of a successful omnichannel approach is a cohesive brand voice and strategy across all channels. While multichannel presence is valuable, true omnichannel strategies ensure a consistent message, reflecting positively on the brand’s image and fostering customer trust.

Wrap Up

For natural brands aiming to maximize profitability and growth on Amazon in 2023, a data-driven approach is essential. Understanding margins, optimizing the catalog, and incorporating omnichannel advertising strategies are key to success. By emphasizing customer lifetime value and repeat purchases, brands can ensure sustainable growth in a competitive marketplace. With the right strategies and insights, natural brands can carve their path to success on Amazon and beyond.
