Wholesale Myths Exposed

We’ve heard it all! All of the reasons why you haven’t added wholesale to your Amazon business. “They won’t sell to Amazon sellers.” “Wholesale is too expensive.” “I can’t find profitable wholesale products.” Stop right there! Wholesale can feel overwhelming and intimidating but with the right mindset, tools, and strategy fear no longer has control. In this episode of The Amazon Files, we’re going to turn these myths and more on their heads.

Wholesale might feel overwhelming and intimidating but with the right information, mindset, and strategy fear no longer has control. In this week's episode of The Amazon Files, we’re going to turn these myths upside down and tell you the truth about wholesale and why you should add it to your business.

 Almost every new Amazon seller have things that stop them from jumping into wholesale and wholesale bundling. Typically, people are held back by fear - fear of the unknown - and by myths surrounding vendors. It may be that you are worried about saying something stupid when dealing with a vendor or it may be that you are stuck trying to find wholesale suppliers.

Today, we dispel the myths about buying wholesale for Amazon FBA. We reveal what it means to deal in wholesale and how to get vendor accounts. We share where you can find 100s of wholesalers and break the myths around minimum orders, margins, Amazon fees, and prep centers. We also highlight the value of building relationships with vendors and how to get around issues such as vendors that won’t send a product to a residential address.

“You are never going to know unless you ask. Don’t assume that you are going to get a no; you may be surprised by which wholesalers will work with Amazon sellers.” - Amy Feierman
