COVID-19 is still ravaging the entire world as death tolls continue to rise in many countries, and global supply chains continue to be strained. Amazon is at the forefront of the coronavirus pandemic race as the e-commerce giant has made several policy changes affecting both its customers and sellers to keep up with demand.
Due to a surge in certain products being purchased in vast quantities, Amazon has placed restrictions on how much customers can buy at any given time. The online commerce giant has also limited the number of items sellers can send into FBA centers for fulfilment unless they are in a particular category.
Many Amazon sellers have voiced their concerns as these new rules are putting many business owners at risk of being forced to fire large portions of their workforce or entirely shut down. If you’re an Amazon seller who is affected by all of the new rule changes due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the good news is that there are several solutions available.
How to adapt your Amazon selling strategy during COVID-19
For those Amazon vendors looking for alternative ways to increase their profits while dealing with the side effects of coronavirus limitations, you’ll want to continue reading. One of the main thing you can do to make sure your business survives Amazon’s recent changes is by staying up to date on all of the changes Amazon is making to its policy.
As mentioned before, the most noticeable change is restrictions on FBA shipments; to avoid interference in your operations, use the following techniques:
- Broaden your reach to different marketplaces, there are several other comparable marketplaces to Amazon- such as eBay, Etsy, and more. This will allow you to circumvent any fees or logistical slow-downs related to Amazon’s new policy.
- Switch your account’s fulfilment method from FBA to FBM and hire a third-party logistics transport company to ship your orders through. This will help you skip the queue inside the Amazon FBA warehouses where items marked as “non-essential” are given less priority.
- Modify your ad budget- if you decide to use one of the methods above, you need to edit your ads to point customers to your new website or outlet. The last thing you want to do is to keep spending money on advertising only to send people to the wrong web address.
Looking into the future
These are some of the best solutions for sellers who have found themselves affected by Amazon’s recent policy changes. As COVID-19 continues to sweep the nation, who knows when Amazon will ultimately go back to normal for everyone, as even consumer shipping times are being affected.
We do know that coronavirus is no excuse for you not to adapt and continue growing your revenue. Use all of our tips to weather the Amazon coronavirus seller apocalypse with ease!
