Business strategy for these items on Amazon

After knowing whether the products should be promoted, businesses need to know how to trade products on Amazon. The authors have researched to propose a mixed marketing strategy for the product, including: product strategy, pricing strategy, distribution strategy, and communication strategy.

Product strategy

Create an optional Product Package (Bundle):

The Bundle includes highly complementary items, which means that items in the same package complement each other and increase the use of other items in the package or bring convenience to users when they buy them together. When selling a single product, artisans face stiff competition from other brands that sell similar items. The product package is the solution to this problem because it is a combination of many items that are often purchased together (refer to Frequently Bought Together suggested by Amazon). 
Artisans can customize packages your products are unique to have Buy Box. Artisans should consider choosing a Bundle for the benefits after: 
- On the customer's side: Product packages create real value for buyers when they buy what they need at a discounted price and save time instead of buying each product. 
- From the artist side: By combining products into one product package, artisans can sell low-seller products with their best-seller to sell more products. In addition, FBA fees are only charged on one item (package of products) instead of each item, so artisans will be able to make a higher profit and avoid competing with similar products than sell each product individually.

Get the Buy Box:

According to statistics, Amazon generates more than $250 billion in revenue each year, 80% from Buy Box usage. Buy Box stimulates buying demand and customers just click Buy Now to go to Shipping & Payment without considering anything else, and with add to cart, customers have to review selected products at this time. Other proposed products may change customers' minds. Winning a Buy box is very important. Customers will have confidence in high products, exclusive products, and fast sales. 

Pricing strategy

Appropriate price changes:

When launching new products or large holidays, can afford a reduced price to attract customers, increase sales. However, it must be calculated carefully that the price reduction does not differ too much, leading to no profit and when returning to the original price, the value of the product is reduced. 

Psychological pricing, customers:

Through data collection, the prices of products are not rounded but odd numbers like $9.99, $29. These prices are based on customer psychology, though not much different than rounding, but customers still feel cheaper. Hitting the customer's emotional side gives them an illusion of added value. Catch the target audience through demand research, demographic analysis (age, gender, income, status), behavior (search for handicraft products, relatives environmental friendly, unique, personalized).

Distribution strategy

Place: Amazon Handmade

Communication strategy
