Amazon sellers often experience frustration with not knowing where their money is going and not having a way to analyze and identify the best products to sell. Using ecommerce profit analytics programs, such as Sellerboard or Eva, can help sellers identify profitable products, track their sales and profits, and manage their inventory and advertising. Reviewing the data regularly and double down on out of stock, high profit items is crucial to maximize profits. It’s also important to calculate “AROI” (Annualized Return on investment) which is more accurate than just ROI. Additionally, it’s recommended to reallocate capital from mediocre/loss making products to profitable items and explore options such as creating variations or bundles of successful products.

Why This matters

Amazon Seller Frustrations

• Working hard but not much money left at end of month/quarter/year
• Don’t know where your money goes
• Don’t know if you should reorder products, what to buy. How much

What we Want from our Products

• [Revenue?]
• Return on Investment (more on this shortly)
• Cashflow
• Profit
• replenishable/repeatable

Missing out on what’s working

• Having no profit analytics system so you don’t know what’s working
• Not having a way to analyse and “surface” the best products
• Shiny object/creativity syndrome Not acting on the insights you get 

Who this is for 

 -Resellers using RA, OA, or wholesale sourcing 

– own brand sellers  (Private Label/custom products) 

– Shopify or DTC store owners

Using Amazon Profit Analytics is like panning for gold  – or Shopify analytics or apps – 

 eCommerce and Amazon is the new Gold Rush. Don’t throw the gold out with the gravel!

What Amazon profit seekers can learn from gold panning:

• Once you’ve got the gold (keep the profits!)….
  • Keep what you have!
  • Go back to the same source!

1. Review the data – regularly!

• Annually is too late
• Quarterly minimum 
• Monthly is best

1. Note frequently Out of stocks

2. Find highest margin products

3. Look at stock turn

1. Don’t worry about ROI – calculate “AROI” (Annualized Return on investment] (listen to/watch future episode)

Phase B- implementation

1. DOuble down on OOS – Make sure you stay in stock/deepen stock on fast-selling and profitable items (reallocate capital for slow-selling or loss making items)

2. Double down on high profit items – For the most profitable items, reallocate capital from mediocre/loss making products

3. create/find variations on profitable items (future episode)
