FBA Private Label

FBA – Private Label Model

The Private Label model works just like a traditional wholesale fulfillment method for FBA except we/you are picking one product to own by acquiring license/trademarks and branding to separate it from similar products in the marketplace. The rule of thumb for Private Labeling is the “33% rule”:

• A third (⅓) of the cost should come from the acquiring of the product, licensing it and slapping a logo on it.
• A third (⅔) of the cost should come from storage and shipping costs to and from the warehouse.
• A third (3/3) is your profit margin.

Utilizing Amazon FBA to maximize your Private Label

Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a service offered by Amazon that allows sellers to automate their orders. This way, Amazon takes care of handling the packaging, shipping, and subsequent delivery to the customer.

Here’s how it works: with Fulfillment by Amazon, third-party sellers send their goods to Amazon fulfillment centers before they are purchased. The products are kept at Amazon fulfillment centers until a customer buys them. Then they are picked up, packaged, shipped, and delivered by Amazon. Package returns are also handled by Amazon.

This allows for a more reliable and effective customer service and order fulfillment.

Anyone can use the Amazon FBA service, and it’s especially great for those who do not have the time to run their store but are still interested in trying out an e-commerce business.
