Amazon Brand Consulting

Your brand deserves a real Amazon strategy.

Whether you've been on Amazon for a year or a decade — the platform keeps getting more complex. We work with your team to build the knowledge, the systems, and the channel structure that protects what you've built.

Channel clarity

We help you understand how your brand actually moves through Amazon — who sells it, at what price, and whether your channel structure is working for or against you.

Team education

Amazon literacy inside your organization. We coach the people who manage your channel so decisions get made faster and problems get caught earlier.

Strategy and structure

Pricing architecture, reseller alignment, and advertising coordination built around your 1P, 3P, or hybrid model — not retrofitted to it.

The first strategic decision

Selling to Amazon, on Amazon, or through 3P sellers — these are three different businesses.

Most brands are operating in a model they inherited rather than chose. A Vendor Central relationship that started small. Resellers who appeared through distribution and were never really managed. A direct channel that was set up without a channel conflict plan. The model isn't wrong — but it may not be optimized for where the brand is now.

1P — Vendor Central

Selling to Amazon

Amazon buys wholesale and sells to consumers. You fill purchase orders. Amazon controls the retail price — including pricing below MAP when it chooses.

  • Operationally simple — Amazon handles fulfillment
  • Challenging pricing control potential
  • Can trigger retail channel conflict at scale
  • Razor thin margins and cash flow pressure
3P — Seller Central

Selling on Amazon

You sell directly to consumers. You control pricing, content, and strategy. More operational work — significantly more channel control.

  • Full pricing authority — you hold MAP
  • Complete listing and content ownership
  • Requires internal infrastructure to manage
  • The foundation for real channel control
3P+ — Resellers

Selling through sellers

Your products reach Amazon through distribution, retailers, or resellers. The default for many brands — and the source of most channel problems.

  • No direct Amazon operational overhead
  • Pricing depends entirely on reseller compliance
  • Unauthorized sellers enter through leaks
  • Requires active enforcement to maintain standards

Most brands operate a hybrid — the question is whether it was designed or inherited. We help you evaluate your current model, understand what it's costing you, and build the structure that fits where you're going.

Common friction points

Where even experienced Amazon brands hit walls.

The team knows the brand — not the platform

Your e-commerce manager is sharp. But Seller Central is deep, Amazon's algorithms change, and the reports that matter are buried. Platform fluency isn't built in a day — and gaps in it cost money quietly.

Resellers who were never supposed to be there

Distribution leaks happen over time. A wholesaler sells to a liquidator. A retailer lists clearance. Suddenly there are six sellers on your ASIN and you don't know where three of them are getting product.

MAP that looks enforced but isn't

The policy exists. Warning emails go out. One reseller who tests the limits and finds none changes the behavior of everyone who's watching. Enforcement is the part most MAP programs are missing.

Amazon pricing undercutting retail

A retail buyer walks in with a screenshot of your Amazon listing priced $12 below what they're selling it for. That conversation is harder than it needs to be — and it starts with the channel architecture decision.

No coordinated advertising strategy

Are resellers advertising your brand? Are you? What does your competitive landscape actually look like on your own ASINs? Brands that don't build a coordinated advertising approach across all selling partners — 1P, 3P, and beyond — cede visibility to whoever shows up. Smart advertising starts with understanding the channel, not fixing it after the fact.

The 1P relationship that stopped working

Vendor Central made sense at a certain stage. Then Amazon started pricing below MAP, retail partners pushed back, and the tradeoffs shifted. Knowing when and how to evolve the model is a real strategic decision.

Your team knows your brand. We teach them Amazon — platform fluency, brand-specific application, and ongoing support for the people who execute your strategy every day.

Selling Model Strategy — 1P, 3P & Hybrid

Evaluate your current model, understand what it's costing you, and design the structure that aligns with where your brand is going.

Reseller Alignment & Control

Map every seller on your ASINs, trace supply chain leaks, and build the enforcement program that reduces unauthorized activity systematically.

MAP Policy & Enforcement

A MAP policy that's actually enforced — automated monitoring, documented escalation, and the distribution communication that makes your pricing floor credible.

Channel Strategy & Pricing

Stop competing against yourself. Build the pricing architecture that keeps Amazon, retail, and DTC in alignment.

Brand Protection & Listings

Own your listings, protect your content, and prevent unauthorized changes — Brand Registry, Transparency, and IP management.

Advertising & Brand Presence

Coordinated advertising across all selling partners — 1P, 3P, and brand-direct. Brand presence, Sponsored Brands, and a strategy that accounts for who is actually showing up on your ASINs.

Analytics, Reporting & Ongoing Advisory

Buy Box trends, reseller activity, pricing floor compliance, and ad performance — the visibility layer that tells you whether your channel strategy is holding, and advisory to adjust it when the marketplace shifts.

How it works

We work with where you are — not where you should have started.

01

Understand the Current State

We map your full Amazon presence — selling model, reseller landscape, team knowledge gaps, Buy Box performance, and pricing history. A real assessment of what's working, what isn't, and what's at risk.

02

Build the Right Strategy

A plan specific to your brand — team training priorities, selling model recommendations, reseller alignment approach, MAP enforcement framework, and pricing architecture. With the rationale behind every recommendation.

03

We work with your people through implementation — coaching the team, supporting reseller communications, advising on escalations. Not a strategy document dropped in a shared folder.
