KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
- Do the calculations in your head on what it will cost you to have one or two full-time employees who are good at doing some of the processes needed to succeed in eCom, and compare that to what you could potentially get at an agency.
- Any agency with setup fees anywhere from $7500 to $15000 is a hard no.
- Those with a flat fee (usually $2500 to $3500) with a percentage of sales are being incentivized to grow your business.
- Look for proven results.
- Anybody who would not tell you their pricing fairly soon in the conversation is also a no because it should be standardized.
- Look at the tech they are using.
- The relationship is super important.
Every agency offers these same basic services:
- Listing optimization (including A+ contents)
- Amazon PPC
- Helping your products get into FBA and all of those logistics
