Clear the Shelf with Chris & Chris

In this episode we discuss how Eli (@Eli_Happylife) started his Amazon FBA Wholesale business and the strategies he is using to hunt down wholesale suppliers and distributors in his for his Amazon business. We discuss how he uses a strategy of driving around neighborhoods to find suppliers. Eli dishes on the margins in his Amazon FBA Wholesale business, how he has treated it like a business from day one, and what his experience in the mortgage industry and non-profit sector have taught him. One of the major nuggets he drops about discussing partnerships with wholesalers and distributors is the fact that when he shows up in person he's ready with a check in hand to buy products today and how that has helped him secure accounts. You'll love this episode and all the knowledge Eli drops on us. As promised in the episode here is the blog post full of terms you may need to know as an Amazon seller: https://cleartheshelf.com/amazon-acronyms/ -------------------- We'd love to hear from you.

This week we will be discussing Returnuary The hangover from the party that is Q4. And we do this not to scare anyone but because we feel it’s our duty to be real with you and provide actionable tactics to deal with even the things you don’t see discussed on Instagram or twitter much. As you know Amazon extends the return period for gifts and purchases for most of the items purchased between October 11 and December 25, 2022 can be returned until January 31, 2023 and sellers see higher than usual returns. This happens because people get the wrong size, the wrong color, they get two of the same item, they don’t like something, or they think Uncle Chad is a jerk and don’t want his gift It is up to us as sellers to have a plan in place to try and get as much out of the returns as possible and the ability to come to terms with the fact that some stuff will need to end up in the wastebasket. Today we will discuss some ways you can weather Returnuary with your sanity and P&L statement intact, for the most part, anyway. -------------------- We'd love to hear from you.
