Does Amazon have no traffic for self-fulfillment? What are the ways?

Opening a store on Amazon also requires traffic. Now, whether you are doing self-media or e-commerce, you need traffic. Only with traffic can you succeed. So does Amazon have no traffic for self-delivery?

1. Does Amazon have no traffic for self-delivery?

It is quite common for people to have this problem, especially those sellers who used to sell on eBay and AliExpress and now want to sell on Amazon. There is basically no future for self-shipping.

Amazon FBA is a standard feature. If you don’t use this biggest competitive advantage of Amazon, aren’t you letting down the platform? Even though Amazon’s delivery and operation costs are high, they can still be kept within an affordable range if they are reasonably controlled. As for the risks of preparing for FBA, these are still completely controllable.

As for whether you can nurture your listings first, and then send FBA when the performance is good, the answer is a big NO! New Amazon stores have 3 months of traffic bonuses, and new products have 2 to 4 weeks of traffic bonuses. By the time you start to self-ship your listings and observe the situation, the traffic bonus period is almost over, and most self-shipped products have very few orders. The result is most likely to be lamenting: Amazon is so difficult to do! When is the right time for new sellers to send FBA? The correct way to start is: send FBA as soon as the product is put on the shelves.

2. Self-delivery method:

Including international parcels, international dedicated lines, international express delivery and overseas warehousing and delivery.

1. International parcels are what we often call postal parcels. There are two types: surface mail and registered mail. This method is relatively cheap, but it takes a longer time, and surface mail cannot track the delivery location of the package. Sellers need to pay attention to this, but the registration fee will be more expensive.

2. International dedicated line: This is a logistics distribution route specially built by logistics companies. The price is higher than that of international small parcels, but the speed is faster than that of international small parcels.

3. International express delivery, such as EMS, DHL, UPS, EMS, Fedex are all international express delivery. Choosing international express delivery is faster than international parcels and international dedicated lines in terms of delivery timeliness. Of course, it is also the most expensive in terms of price.

4. Overseas warehouses. In fact, Amazon FBA also belongs to overseas warehouses, and sellers can also choose third-party overseas warehouses for self-delivery on Amazon. Of course, sellers also need to transport the products to the overseas warehouses in advance. When our products are purchased, there will be overseas warehouse personnel to help us deliver the products. In terms of delivery time, this is the fastest, and of course the price will not be the most expensive. Its price will be more expensive than international parcels, but lower than international dedicated lines and national express delivery.

It is very common for Amazon to have no traffic if it does self-delivery. This problem is very common now. If you do self-delivery and do not promote, there will basically be no traffic. There are also many merchants opening stores on Amazon.
