Today I’m riding solo as I share an episode,part 1 of 2 that is inspired by positive feedback from a previous meet-up event about 10 ways to differentiate your Private Label product. Most of this stuff are from trial and error, consuming content over the years, meet-ups and brainstorming with brilliant entrepreneurs and Amazon sellers. These first 5 ways to differentiate aesthetically are the least defensible or creative in my opinion that a lot of people skip over but obviously significant to use to differentiate.  So tune in and stay with me. In This Episode: [02:35] Episode inspiration. [03:30] Defensibility of the product. [05:25] Differentiation categories: Origin, Aesthetics, and Functionality. [07:58] Differentiation from Origin [10:14] 5 ways to differentiate aesthetics: Color [13:35] Quantity [15:18] Length [19:40] Shape [22:45] Specific user pinpoints   Links and References: Wizards of Amazon: https://www.wizardsofecom.com/ Wizards of Amazon Courses: https://wizardsofamazon.mykajabi.com/a/27566/x6Kwkz6p Wizards of Amazon Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/South-Florida-FBA/ Wizards of Amazon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WizardsofAmazon/ Wizards of Amazon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wizardsofecom/
