Customer returns can be frustrating. In this episode, I discuss Lesson 59 from my e-book, Zero to $1 Million.

The important thing to keep in mind is in Amazon, the customer is always right and there's not a whole lot you can do as a seller. What you can do instead is go through the reasons why people return your items and you can get an insight on how to improve your product moving forward.

When we get a box of our returns and there are items in good condition, we use it for giveaways or donations.

Seasonal products have strong selling cycles but can slow down during off peak periods so a question that comes up a lot is: Should you still run PPC year round for seasonal products? I don't recommend turning it off completely but instead–drop your bids down on keywords.

In this episode, I discuss a question asked by one of my coaching students: What should you do if the product that was shipped by your supplier is different from what you were expecting?

When it comes to sourcing from overseas, the most important thing is to communicate with your supplier exactly what you want them to do. Don't assume that they know how you want your finished product looks like. Best thing to do is to send them photos and videos of how you want your products to look like and when they're done manufacturing, ask them for a lot of photos and videos as well. This helps you set expectations for when your shipment arrives.
