Exciting news! 🚀 Amazon approved our brand registry application in the UK market within just 8 hours – unbelievable efficiency! 👏 My experience with the Amazon Brand Registry UK team has been outstanding, providing a quick resolution. This is a significant contrast to the 3-6 days it normally takes for similar approvals in the USA market. Kudos to the UK team for their swift action!

Have you recalculated your margins for Amazon MCF in the UK? Amazon is raising fees in every direction. Starting May 16, 2024, Amazon's Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) fees in the UK will see an average increase of 5.6%. This adjustment varies by the size and speed of your products. Notably, there's no increase for standard speed envelopes under 460g. Amazon is also introducing six new small-parcel size bands ranging from 150g to 3.9kg, plus an extra-large envelope size band. These changes are designed to more accurately reflect the weight and dimensions of products, ensuring you pay fees that match your needs. #AmazonUK #Ecommerce #Fulfilment #BusinessGrowth #OnlineBusiness #Retail #SupplyChain #Logistics #BusinessStrategy #Entrepreneurship

🇫🇷 Amazon announces €1.2bn investment in France Amazon has struggled to get a foot hold in France. Net sales declined in 2023 and their overall share of EU ecommerce is dwarfed by UK and Germany. Despite these poor results, the potential remains. And now they have the backing of the French government, who are encouraging international businesses to invest in the French economy.   Whilst some money will go towards improving operational capability, the rationale behind the investment is more to do with their AWS Cloud business which is competing closely with Microsoft for dominance. A significant portion of Amazon's investment will expand its cloud infrastructure around Paris to bolster support for France's burgeoning generative AI ecosystem France has emerged as an AI hotbed, with promising start-ups like Mistral and Poolside alongside research hubs for Meta, Google and others. Amazon will hope that this good news story about job creation and infrastructure investment will change their public perception and boost retail sales in a market that prefers local providers over international intruders.

***RippleEffect is not an agency*** Although we do offer services that agencies offer. The problem with #Amazon or #Marketplace agencies is they're incentivised to not rock the boat AND they stay focussed on one channel. In the world of online retail you have to take a cross-channel approach and classic agencies don't cut it any more. Your customers are (hopefully!) seeing your Instagram posts, your website, your Amazon listings and those cool new #TikTok posts you've just started doing. These multiple touch points need to be optimised towards purchase. As a brand you need to know more about how your customers are interacting across your D2C and marketplaces so that you can deploy advertising spend intelligently. The amount of wastage on advertising online is enormous and is often encouraged by a multi-polar agency set up. So how can we help your business streamline your online activity and drive the profitable growth? At RippleEffect we offer four different services: 🌊 Training - Bespoke to your needs, we can impart our knowledge to your teams to help unify your marketplace and online strategy. 🌊 Consultancy - Diving deep into your business to tackle problems or concerns you may be facing with your online strategy. 🌊 Managed Services - Need help running a marketplace, we apply our growth logic to the management of your channels. 🌊 Marketplace Setup - Launching internationally or on a new channel? We can work with you to avoid mistakes and make sure you can deliver the launch within your proposed timelines. Running multiple channels for your brand and not seeing the results you want? Suspect you could be running these more efficiently? Then reach out for an introductory call. We can explore your concerns and run through some ideas for turning things around. Comment below or send a direct message to start your journey towards enhanced brand visibility and more profitable sales! 👇

Expanding Beyond the UK: Strategic Market Choices for Amazon Sellers Key Insights from Mir Waleed, Scale Fortune The US stands as Amazon’s largest and most profitable marketplace, making it an ideal choice for scaling a brand. It offers immense growth potential but comes with intense competition, higher costs, and a distinct customer mindset. Germany is a natural progression for sellers, boasting high demand and significant purchasing power within the EU.  Sellers can benefit from streamlined logistics thanks to the EU infrastructure, but localising listings for the German market is essential to resonate with its audience. Japan, Amazon’s third-largest global marketplace, presents opportunities with affluent and loyal customers. However, localisation is critical due to cultural and language differences, necessitating substantial investment. #Amazon #Ecommerce #UKtoUS #GermanyMarket #JapanEcommerce #SellerTips #AmazonExpansion #GlobalStrategy

𝗔𝗻 𝗔𝘀𝗸 🙏 UK-based B2B tech marketers, we want to find out if you're paid fairly in 2024. It's been 2 years since we last ran our salary survey.

Why do Buyers get so annoyed with Sellers connecting & pitching yet expect the earth when they are in the market to Buy? ✅❎ This week I responded to a post where blocking sellers for instantly pitching was the flavour of the post. Whilst I too get frustrated with the ~50/week connection requests then instant pitch I get, as a former head of sales I understand the psychology and mindset of sellers. Procurement has a reputation of only using you when they need you but relationship building is a two way effort. Therefore, allow Sellers to pitch with impunity and they’ll accept that you’ll negotiate the price down to within an inch of its life. Surely that’s fair exchange⁉️ For Sellers, sales is a numbers game. Because Buyers are bad at communicating unless it benefits them Sellers use volume to find opportunities they can make a living from. Is this fair?

For anyone who knows me, I’ve always been bullish on B2B e-commerce. The acceleration of B2B e-commerce from 2020-2024 has been phenomenal. There seems an uproar of new technology providers entering the space especially in the UK as e-commerce doesn’t always involve physical goods. OroCommerce is making some waves at #b2bchicago and I believe they’ll become even more popular with manufacturers who wish to go down the composable route, but also need something user-friendly, efficient and simplified for B2B customers. Gartner Says 80% of B2B Sales Interactions Between Suppliers and Buyers Will Occur in Digital Channels by 2025 and after hearing some of our customers feedback from using the BetterCommerce platform, it’s going to be an exciting year. From many of the conversations we’re having, it’s evident that many retailers & manufacturers just want an all in one solution that optimises their data, content and product information without the complexity of over-engineering solutions. We’re kicking some things off at #seamless in Dubai this year and we’ve got many more things to come so if you’d like to learn more on the future of digital commerce for B2C and, B2B then let’s grab a coffee ☕️ 🚀 You can learn more about BetterCommerce here: https://lnkd.in/eGZjUn4G #ecommerce #dubai #b2becommerce #composable #ai 🇦🇪 🇬🇧
