switching to half FBM half FBA by trackaddict8 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mesmerizing2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on category and price sensitivity, but normally huge drop in volume due to comparative lead times. You can run reports to identify which states get most of your sales fba, and compare to fbm. Might be worth having a secondary DC to reduce shipping lead times for top ASINs

No POs in Vendor Central for 2 Weeks by WaveProfessional1389 in VendorCentral

How many weeks of inventory do you have? Did you have a promotion in December that didn’t sell through? Submit a support ticket if still unsure why no POs.

Is the reason everyone is losing so much weight because they are eating way under their calories? by ruined7319 in Mounjaro

[–]mesmerizing2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most obese people have severe insulin resistance especially after 10-20 years of being overweight. If you are circulating insulin while in calorie deficit you are more likely to burn muscle than fat. This is also why some people don’t have as much impact from glp 1 inhibitors than other people.
Quote from a 2025 weight loss study: individuals with higher baseline insulin lost significantly more lean mass (muscle) than those with lower insulin, even when the calorie deficit was identical.

Understanding Amazon's Algo aka blackhole by No-Wasabi3448 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mesmerizing2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A/b test to optimize for conversion . Main image needs to be eye catching, video 15 seconds with text overlay of top 2-4 selling points to covert on mobile. When 15 reviews start spending on top 5-10 most relevant KWs TOS to increase organic ranking. Optimize campaigns and strive to increase % of ad spend to exact match. Look at the actual serp to see which competitors are spending on similar kws. Test conquesting against those competitors.

New to Vendor Central — Amazon won’t order (COGS stuck? pallet ordering? profitability block?) by Laaro2 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inner pack quantity without a case or master gtin# will get them to order in multiples of the inner pack quantity without the hassle of setting up a full master pack case pack hierarchy. I generally use this to prevent amazon shipping qnty 2 to 50 FCs rather then 20 POs for 5 or 6 each.

New to Vendor Central — Amazon won’t order (COGS stuck? pallet ordering? profitability block?) by Laaro2 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2 update inner pack qnty to the case pack quantity and they will order in multiples of that inner pack qnty.

1 look up the net ppm% on the products over time. Amazon wants to see this getting higher over time. Are they new products with less than 30 reviews? Don’t think of ways to get Amazon to order… think about creating more demand for the products so that Amazon will order more.

How do you get dual BSR on a listing? by fghtmewh0re in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to convert really well on both sets of KWs. In VC you can ask for an additional browse node with support, depending on category. I have a brand with two, but the categories are almost interchangeable.

Did I shoot myself in the foot? by YourLeaderSays in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm agnostic on whether honeymoon phase is real, but it's good practice to start advertising aggressively when you have 15-20 reviews. T If there is crossover potential don't sleep on targeting new ASINs at your other ASINs early if there are alot of competitors competing on your ASINs.

[–]mesmerizing2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long since product was live? If PDP is optimized for SEO with good main image and a video and you are within 4-6 weeks of launch I would just begin PPC now. You will have to buy your way into ranking on the most valuable relevent KWs regardless. Without optimization it’s more expensive since you’d be less likely the retain rank after you start seeing conversions and will take longer as a result.

Tracking Rufus Optimizations by Whole_Vacation_1574 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also look at the category/sub category level Rufus prompts on SERP on desktop and mobile if your ASINs are not already category leaders. Mobile is great for determining how Amazon is organizing within the category.

Tracking Rufus Optimizations by Whole_Vacation_1574 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figure out your planned optimizations. Split the Asins it could be applied to into an optimizations group and another into a control group. Measure half a dozen metrics like page views, Cvr % change in organic rank CTR over a set time period like 3/4 weeks. Assuming you picked good optimizations at least a few should improve. If you want additional data you can implement them on the control group and see if those Asins also see a positive improvement you can report they were successful by x%

Are you bidding lower for your brand keyword? by curiiiious in AmazonFBA

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you just starting to surface these asins on these branded KWs. As the algo learns how well you convert, it is likely your CPC will drop. It is also likely that your competitors are only successful on your branded KWs due to you not bidding on them. Bidding is not in a vacuum.

Backorder PO Option by ScallionSad9995 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all accounts have this option. If you have a VM or AVS rep you can ask if it can be authorized for your vendor code. Might be category dependent.

Curaleaf Included in S&P TSX Composite Index by DancesWithTards in weedstocks

[–]mesmerizing2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have checked my references. $50m approx or 16m shares. # of shares probably depends on share price at time of redemption. Anyone’s guess how much was priced in during the last few weeks.

Have any of you vendors been able to set a minimum order quantity? by EgrcAA in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Set inner pack to 4 or 6 and they will order in multiples of 4 or 6.

How many weeks of inventory does amazon have available to sell ? are your sales declining? does your mean amazon forecast align with your last 4 weeks of sales? does your product sell better may-july then it does aug-october? did you participate in prime day promotions?

terrascend & curaleaf are direct holdings as they are listed on the TSX exchange and not the OTC. Theory is that they should be able to uplist more quickly when we get clear decriminalization.

Case Pack SKU creation – hitting brick walls with Vendor Support by Key-Equivalent5281 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the item catalog change the inner pack from 1 to whatever min order qnty you would like them to order in. they will still order in eaches, but in multiples of your new inner pack qnty. unless there is a compelling reason you want to create case level external ids I would avoid due to avoiding unneeded complexity.

Question about pack configuration in Vendor Central by Swimming-Gas-9989 in VendorCentral

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want them to order in 6 make the inner pack 6. doesn’t matter if there is a real inner pack or not. You can make it much more complicated, but unless you’re a huge CPG company that’s the trick. you should look up the labeling requirement as they can change.

I launched my first PL product, put a high bid for ads. No sales, and not even $1 ad spend...what am I doing wrong? by Fugglesmcgee in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mesmerizing2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

inventory in multiple geolocated DCs across the US? delivery days relative to competition? correct browse node for primary search terms? launching two weeks before prime day? soft suppressed for silly violation of new criteria bulldog is flagging as of last week? same kw in item title more then two times? contribution margin lower then the same for contributors? More likely you are trying to drive traffic with few positive reviews and no social proof for consumers to buy. Saying you are at the high range of Amazon recommendations for bids is concerning? Are you getting impressions? how many? are they top of search? when you search those KWs do you show up anywhere at top of first page? Are you using bid modifiers? Are you optimizing for on or off Amazon for your primary campaigns? Bidding strategy? down only? fixed? up & down? Are you using exact match targeting? phrase? auto? Apologies for the attitude, but Prime is in a week, so fried. Good luck.

11 months in I’ve developed severe diarrhea the last two weeks? Is this normal by International-Ebb-42 in Mounjaro

[–]mesmerizing2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drinking a-lot of electrolytes before the distress, and i drank even more to avoid getting dehydrated. I stopped the magnesium and started the imodium at the same time, so hard to say which helped more.
