Recognizing and implementing executable growth initiatives is a key part of developing a defensible Amazon brand. These strategies can generate additional revenue in the short term while adding to the long-term value of your business.

Welcome to the blog version of Ecomm News! Changes, Changes And More Changes! Amazon has been doing major interface changes again. The latest is how you switch between synced seller accounts and countries.

Short blog here today, with a very specific focus -- and a godsend for those who need it. If your Amazon account has been suspended, there’s now a way you may be able to fix it quickly. Check Your Seller Central Most of you know Amazon made changes to their algorithms that shut down hundreds if not thousands of seller accounts.

There’s a cool resource on Amazon you may not be aware of. It’s called the Marketplace Appstore, and when you’re in your Seller Central you can find it easily by rolling over Apps & Services on the top menu and clicking Discover Apps.

Big changes are coming to your Amazon Seller page. Namely, buyers are going to be able to see your business name and address.  At the moment you have the option of showing your personal info or not, but as of September 1st, 2020 you will no longer have that choice.

Ever wonder what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Truth is, everyone has the entrepreneurial spirit. We’re all entrepreneurs at heart; the execution of that drive usually just comes down to scale. How far do you take it? Do you run a weekend garage sale for extra cash? Sell some things on eBay? Invent a cool new tool and take it to market? Work like mad on a new business idea, ala Jeff Bezos, and found a new Amazon? Somewhere in between? Whether a large or a small enterprise, we’re all engaged in some form of entrepreneurial activity.

Amazon built and expanded a massive sandbox, invited anyone to come play and, remarkably, in 2006 made it so easy anyone could do it. FBA (Fulfilment By Amazon) was the first such market of that scale, and with its introduction Amazon made it easier than ever for third party sellers to get in on the action.

In just a few days ManageByStats will no longer receive from Amazon customer info such as buyer name, recipient name, and shipping street address.  This affects not only us, but all software providers, and the hammer has already fallen for many.

We’re into the first Quarter of the New Year, which means it’s the perfect time to look ahead to what will be the absolute must-attend conferences for Amazon Sellers in 2019. Here in the States we just went through a Polar Vortex, we may be in for a Heat Vortex come summer -- all sorts of things are likely in store, but no matter the weather one thing’s for sure: This year promises to be a Knowledge Vortex for anyone selling on Amazon.
