How to start your e-commerce journey smoothly on Amazon: from AGL logistics services to earring sales
Amazon is undoubtedly an important platform for businesses that want to expand their business in the global market. This article will provide sellers with a series of detailed guidance based on Amazon AGL logistics services, store opening, and earring sales.
Enable Amazon AGL logistics service
In order to improve the convenience of FBA logistics, Amazon has launched AGL logistics service, aiming to provide FBA sellers with a more efficient service experience. This service not only includes sea and air first-leg logistics, but also covers the integrated process from logistics to warehousing, greatly simplifying the seller’s operation process. The AGL service is currently available to sellers on US sites (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and Japanese sites, and does not support other sites for the time being. A significant advantage of using this service is that it can support the locking function, which means that your products will not be dispersed into different FBA warehouses, helping to improve inventory management efficiency.
To enable AGL services, sellers need to meet the following conditions:
- Products from the US, Europe or Japan are on sale;
- Already using FBA service;
- Provide information such as Seller ID, company name, registered email, Amazon store name, contact number, and company business license.
After completing the information submission, wait for 3-5 working days for the review period. After passing the review, you can enjoy the convenience brought by AGL.
Register an Amazon seller account and select a store type
Before officially opening a store, the first step is to register as an Amazon seller. Visit Amazon’s official website, click the “Sell on Amazon” button and follow the instructions to complete the registration process. Next, choose a personal store or a professional store according to your own situation. The former is suitable for sellers who occasionally sell a small amount of goods, while the latter is more suitable for merchants who regularly sell large quantities of goods. Also, choose the right charging plan – per piece or a fixed monthly fee.
Edit and publish product information
No matter what type of store you are, you need to carefully edit the information of each product, such as title, description, price, shipping cost, inventory and other details. Especially for fashion accessories such as earrings, clear and accurate product descriptions and high-quality images are particularly important. Once you’ve finished editing, make sure all information complies with Amazon’s selling policies before publishing.
Set up logistics and inventory management
For sellers who choose to use Amazon FBA services, it is crucial to set up logistics and inventory management. Through Amazon FBA, you can store your products in Amazon warehouses, and Amazon will be responsible for packaging, delivery and even return processing. This not only allows you to focus on selling and promoting your merchandise, but also provides fast and reliable delivery services to your customers.
Optimize promotion strategy
Finally, don’t forget to optimize your product promotion strategy. Use Amazon’s internal advertising system or other external marketing channels to increase the exposure and appeal of your products. At the same time, actively collect and respond to customer feedback and continuously improve product and service quality, which is very important for establishing a good brand image and loyal customer base.
Through the above steps, whether you are a novice or an experienced seller, you can find your place on Amazon, one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, and gradually build a successful online business.
