// Why Amazon matters for growth

YOUR CUSTOMERS
ARE ALREADY THERE.

Amazon isn't optional for most product businesses anymore — it's where a huge share of online buying starts. The question isn't whether to be on Amazon, it's whether you're on it profitably. That's a commercial decision, not a marketing one.

Your Amazon strategy is never copy-paste.
Every Amazon account we manage starts with a full commercial audit — your margin structure, your catalogue complexity, your trading terms, your channel conflict with DTC. The strategy we build is specific to your business. Our best practices and dynamic blueprint provide the framework. Your commercial reality shapes every decision within it.
Why this matters

WE WERE ON
AMAZON BEFORE
YOUR CATEGORY
EXISTED.

In the early 2000s — when Amazon had only just begun expanding beyond books — we were listing sports and outdoors products on a platform that had no category structure for them yet. We negotiated directly with Amazon — in a relationship that has since included plenty of meetings at Amazon HQ over the years — to build those structures. We weren't following guidance — we were creating it.

Over the following two decades, we supplied over £40M+ of product through Amazon Vendor Central — navigating chargeback disputes, co-op negotiations, PO fluctuations, and the full commercial complexity of operating at Vendor scale across major retail categories and managed the complexity of operating both channels simultaneously.

When we manage your Amazon presence, we're drawing on lived operational experience — not platform certification. That difference is significant, and it shows up in every commercial decision we make.

What we cover

TWO PLATFORMS,
ONE COMMERCIAL
STRATEGY.

Vendor Central is a fundamentally different commercial relationships with Amazon — different margin structures, different risks, different levers. We manage both, and we know exactly which problems belong to which platform.

Vendor Central (1P) — Amazon buys from you
01 // Vendor Central
Vendor Central strategy & management
PO management, cost price negotiations, catalogue management, and content optimisation. We have supplied over £40M through Vendor Central — we know every lever, every trap, and every deduction Amazon will quietly take if you're not watching.
02 // Chargeback recovery
Chargeback recovery & prevention
Amazon Vendor chargebacks silently drain margin — shortage claims, compliance deductions, PO accuracy penalties, transport deductions. We dispute systematically and build prevention processes that reduce future exposure. Typical recovery rate on disputed amounts: 40–70%.
03 // Co-op & terms
Co-op deductions & Vendor terms
Co-op is Amazon's marketing contribution deducted from every invoice — typically 5–15% depending on your category and negotiation history. We model the true net margin impact of Vendor terms and advise on what to push back on at each annual negotiation cycle.
Both platforms — commercial strategy
07 // Channel strategy
Amazon vs DTC — channel conflict management
Over-reliance on Amazon is a risk most brands don't address until Amazon acts. We advise on pricing, positioning, and growing both channels simultaneously — protecting Amazon performance while building the DTC customer base that reduces long-term platform dependency.

The 1P relationship

WHY VENDOR
CENTRAL IS A
DIFFERENT GAME.

Vendor Central (1P) means Amazon buys from you wholesale and sells to the customer themselves. It is a fundamentally different commercial relationship to third-party selling — with its own levers, its own margin pressures, and its own negotiation dynamics. Having supplied £40M+ through Vendor Central, we know where the value leaks and how to hold the line.

// Margin & terms
Cost price & trading terms
Annual cost negotiations, allowances, co-op fees, damage claims and chargeback disputes — the hidden deductions that quietly erode your effective margin if no one is watching them.
// Operations
PO & supply chain management
Purchase order acceptance strategy, fill-rate management, ASIN-level availability, and avoiding the operational chargebacks that come from missed or short shipments.
// Content & catalogue
Catalogue & A+ content
Detail-page optimisation, A+ / brand store content, variation structure and catalogue hygiene across large ranges — so the listings Amazon controls still convert.

Note: we provide commercial and operational Vendor Central strategy. We do not manage Amazon Advertising — our paid focus is Google Ads.

Audit places — limited availability
