Listen Later

Is your Amazon business ready for 2025?

Before diving into the new year, it's critical to perform a year-end review—or as we call it, a "business post-mortem."

In this episode of The Clear the Shelf Podcast, Chris Grant and Chris Racic break down the exact steps to analyze what worked, what failed, and how to prepare your Amazon FBA business for its best year yet.

What you’ll learn:

• The importance of knowing your numbers and avoiding costly financial mistakes

• How to identify your most profitable products and eliminate low performers

• Practical tips for setting KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to track success

• Strategies to optimize sourcing methods and improve inventory management

• How to adapt to Amazon policy changes and market trends in 2025
