Wizards of Ecom #023 Wizards of Amazon Podcast: Staying Positive During FBA Restrictions on Non-Essentials and FBM Do’s and Dont’s
Now is the time to thrive, not just survive. I know that you’re being bombarded with negative information on all sides, so I wanted to address how you can look at ways to adapt your business during this time.
Your mindset, now more than ever, will be the deciding factor in whether or not your business succeeds. So many people feel betrayed by Amazon choosing to prioritize essential items for shipping, thereby cutting into their sales. This is a good thing.
How many more people are now on Amazon Prime because they can get their groceries and other essentials with the Prime promise? Those people are highly likely to stay on Prime and keep shopping after this pandemic.
I wanted to share with you ways you can “pandemic-proof” your business for the future while still finding ways to get your products to your customers. Listen in as I share two tactics that you can start using today.
Again your mindset during this time is the most important piece. If you succumb to the panic, your business will not make it through. Don’t panic, plan.
