1P Management: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 1P and 3P selling on Amazon?

In the 1P (first-party) model, you sell wholesale to Amazon, who then resells your products to consumers. Amazon controls pricing, fulfillment, and customer service. In contrast, 3P (third-party) models involve selling directly to consumers through Amazon's marketplace.

How do you improve our terms and performance with Amazon as a vendor?

We leverage our expertise and relationships to negotiate favorable terms, optimize purchase order management, enhance content and advertising, and improve operational metrics that matter to Amazon. Our strategies help maximize both sales volume and profitability.

How do you handle Amazon's pricing control in the 1P model?

We employ strategic approaches to influence Amazon's pricing algorithm, including content optimization, supply chain management, promotion planning, and vendor negotiations. While Amazon maintains ultimate pricing control, our methodologies help maintain reasonable pricing integrity.

Can we transition between 1P and 3P models?

Yes, we can help evaluate and potentially implement a hybrid or transitional strategy based on your business objectives. Some brands benefit from maintaining both 1P and 3P relationships with Amazon, and we can guide this complex strategy.

How are fees structured for 1P Management?

Our 1P Management services typically operate on a retainer model based on the scope of services and sales volume. This provides predictable costs while ensuring our team is fully resourced to optimize your Vendor Central performance.
