QUESTION 1 - Luis
Hi Nick, first of all, awesome show! In terms of questions, I am
about to have my first shipment delivered to FBA and I am trying to
figure out the product photo strategy. Do I try to take the shots
myself (using a white background) or go to a pro, if latter, any
Hire a professional every time no matter what unless you havethe skills to pull it off.
Ask your supplier if they have a photographer on site to assistwith images.
Head to Fiverr.com or Upwork.com to hire a skilled photographerthat knows how to shoot Amazon images.
Look into other professional services such asUpgradedimages.com
QUESTION 2
- Garrett
Are all inspectors equal? What qualifications and/or
requirements are important when getting an inspection?
Go for experience when your product is complicated orsensitive.
If you have an electronics itemor specialty item then spend more on a specialized inspection
company.
If the product is basic go forlower priced ones.
Test the communication with theinspection company first.
Look for how many years theyhave been in business and try to find reviews.
I use Frontline and love them.Recently tried Richforth and not loving them.
Use Alibaba to book theinspection for the best deals.
QUESTION 3 -
Jonathon
I think my biggest question right now is how and where to
organize effective giveaways (or selling for $1.00). For example,
if I want to give away 200 products over a 10 day period, how would
you organize that and get it in front of the freebie seekers?
Here is my strategy for giveaways. Give away 10 codes personally
in Facebook review groups that you can post to. They know the
drill. Follow up personally with them or have a VA do it.
After you get some reviews come in… Do a blast with a review
service that meets your needs. I love GetBSR.com and regular
Facebook review groups. Let them handle the rest. If you want a 10
day package you might need to negotiate for custom pricing. Or you
can purchase the services of 2-3 blast or review groups to
coordinate a longer promotion.
Bottom line... Pay someone else to worry about organizing your
Question 4 - Ross
Hi Nick just caught up on all episodes and keen for more. As an
international and looking to land my first product direct to Amazon
via air (just receiving samples to Australia) two queries are UPS
and DHL custom agents as well as freight forwarders ( just need
some direction on what input from me to get through customs). Also
can you recommend a 3rd party fulfillment agent in the US that
could prep for delivery to Amazon at reasonable rates? ( I assume
also once in the US UPS Amazon shipping rates kick in hopefully).
Thanks Nick ps.. I love your intros on the pod casts they make me
smile, boom and how the heck are ya - choice, cheers
Ask your supplier what their options are first. Getquotes.
UPS/DHL will call you once the items hit US to verify. –Consider getting an EIN numberI use WTC Logistics to handle my shipping from China to the USwhere they handle everything. (get a quote from Holly
at [email protected])
