051: Tactic Tuesdays: Manufacturing Mastery - Maximizing Discounts & Managing Supplier Terms

Brand Fortress HQ: Amazon FBA Success Strategies

Can you tell the difference between a manufacturer and a trade company? Join us for Tactics Tuesday as we uncover the surprising tactics trade companies employ to appear as manufacturers, based on a revealing story from Mike's colleague's visit to China. We'll guide you through essential strategies to verify your suppliers' true identities and the benefits of dealing directly with manufacturers to secure more competitive pricing. This isn't just about saving a few bucks; it's about optimizing your costs for better profitability and sustainable business growth.
Ready to rethink your approach to product pricing and Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)? We'll share actionable tips on negotiating with suppliers to ensure product profitability, not just the lowest price. Discover why starting with lower MOQs can be a game-changer for new product launches and how to balance inventory to avoid costly stockouts. Our focus is on fostering long-term, trusted relationships with your suppliers that support your business's success.
Launching a product on Amazon? Don't miss our insights on why minimizing discounts can be more beneficial than you think. Learn the value of a solid email list or community in supporting your launch, and why targeting long-tail keywords might be the smarter move. Plus, we explore negotiating better payment terms and improving cash flow through smarter logistics, featuring a nod to services like Skewdrop. This episode is jam-packed with strategies to enhance your supplier relationships, manage inventory, and boost your business's bottom line.
