There are traces of success for Amazon’s top sellers
Amazon's top sellers generated $12 billion in sales in 2021. For small and medium-sized sellers, they can summarize the successful experiences of top sellers in order to go further and further in the international market.
First of all, we must pay attention to user needs. Although the categories and business models of these top sellers are different, they pay special attention to user needs and will adjust their operating strategies in a timely manner based on user feedback on the products.
Secondly, conduct multi-channel layout. Sellers can turn their attention to independent websites, other local e-commerce websites and other platforms to disperse operational risks. At the same time, various channels can attract traffic from each other and create new growth points.
Then, sellers need to find the right focus. Take Anker, a leading seller in China, for example. The company pays great attention to product research and development. In 2021, the company invested nearly 800 million yuan in research and development . Anker mainly conducts independent research and development, develops products based on the market, and continuously improves product design, technology and quality requirements.
Finally, we should focus on developing new markets. For sellers, successful products must have unique global competitiveness. When developing markets, sellers should combine the different concerns of consumers in different markets, select products in a targeted and focused manner , and build their own brand advantages .
The paths to success for big sellers are always similar, and their experiences are worth learning from for small and medium-sized sellers.
