Advantages of Amazon’s no-source model, product selection skills and guide to finding sources

As one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, Amazon has 400 million users and more than 3 million sellers, providing sellers with vast market opportunities. The no-source model enables sellers to reduce inventory risks and focus on sales and marketing. This article will delve into the advantages of Amazon’s no-source model, product selection skills, and how to find sources of goods.

Advantages of no supply

The main advantage of the no-source model is that sellers do not need to stock up on goods in advance. After collecting product information from other e-commerce platforms, they can sell them in their own stores. This approach not only simplifies inventory management but also reduces operational risk. Sellers purchase goods by placing an order, send them to the warehouse, and then package them into goods that comply with international logistics standards for delivery. This model allows sellers to profit from price fluctuations without having to bear the pressure of traditional purchasing models.

In addition, Amazon, as an international brand, enjoys a good market reputation and attracts a large number of loyal buyers. This gives sellers greater flexibility in pricing. At the same time, foreign buyers are less sensitive to product quality and price than domestic platforms, ensuring the profitability of high-quality products.

Tips for selecting products without supply

When choosing unavailable products, sellers need to consider the following factors:

1. Product price selection: It is recommended to choose products with a price between 50 and 500 US dollars, so that shipping costs can be reasonably controlled and sufficient profit margins can be ensured. A unit price that is too low may result in high shipping costs, while a unit price that is too high may make it difficult for buyers to have a sense of trust, thereby affecting order conversion.

2. Product type selection: Give priority to small and lightweight products, and consider the risk of damage during transportation and customs clearance issues. In addition, consumable products are easier to purchase repeatedly, helping to increase customer stickiness.

3. Market Research: Conduct comprehensive market research and evaluate the market demand and competition status of the product through external data and internal analysis. Sellers can use tools such as Google Trends and Keywordspy to analyze hot-selling products, and use GA analysis tools to evaluate the sales performance of their products in order to make reasonable adjustments.

How to find the source of goods for follow-up sellers

With the increase of new sellers on the Amazon platform, finding suitable sources of goods has become the seller’s top priority. The follow-up mechanism makes some popular products more likely to be imitated by other sellers, so you need to be careful when choosing.

• Methods to find sources of goods: For the products that are being sold, we usually choose popular and easy-to-obtain products. These products are easy to find on Alibaba and other wholesale markets. If it is sold through the FBA model, the seller can prepare goods directly from Alibaba; under the FBM model, the order can be placed immediately according to the order.

• Notes: When following sales, you should choose products that are difficult to obtain on the market to avoid risks caused by brand problems. When editing the product description, make sure it matches the actual product to avoid after-sales problems. When searching for products, it is recommended to use different keywords to find similar products and analyze the operating conditions of competitors in order to formulate corresponding product selection strategies.

By mastering the advantages of Amazon’s no-source model, accurate product selection skills, and effective methods of finding supply sources, sellers can occupy a place in this highly competitive market and achieve sustainable development.
