Amazon FBA Wholesale Brand Approvals (Part 1: EMAILING)
Overview:
The most important step in FBA WS is sourcing i.e approvals from brands and distributors. In sourcing, our first step of communication with brands and distributors is “Emailing”. So, it is very important to focus on our emails. Let's discuss it in detail.
Structure of Email:
Subject
Greetings
Your name, position and company name
*Purpose (main point of email)
Ending (Company details like address, website, phone number etc.)
Generalized Email:
Generalized email is that in which the purpose is described briefly and straight forward, directly tells about opening a wholesale account with the supplier. I used to send this type of email to low level distributors.
Specialized/ Personalized Email:
Specialized email is that in which the purpose is elaborated and which gives the reader a personalized touch. This type of email is used in order to keep our email safe from sending into spam. I used to send this type of emails to brands and high level distributors.
In specialized email, we focus on two main points:
Why do we choose them?
What value can I provide to them?
Before sending an email to a brand or a high level distributor, you have to do some brainstorming for a short while on these two points and find some answers for these two and then pitch those points in your email in the form of sentences. I will give some suggestions to answer these two questions.
Why do we choose them?
In order to get ideas for why we are choosing the specific brand or distributor, the best way is to read your product reviews of that brand and after that you will have plenty of answers.
It provides the right quality to the customers
Your brand supports our goal of customer satisfaction
We are specially focused on selling in XYZ category
Because it is helping in getting long healthy life (if it is some health related products)
Etc. etc.
What value can I provide to them?
You can mention the budget for the current year which you will be spending on wholesale like 50k$ to 60k$. (it is the annual budget, not the monthly budget. Its monthly will be 4k$ to 5k$)
You can tell them that you are going to invest half of this budget in the specific category
You can tell them that you are going to invest this budget with 3 to 4 high volume brands
You can tell them that you are planning to open multiple physical stores focused on XYZ category
You can tell them that you can help them in growing their businesses
Etc. etc.
Keypoint:
People who have made only one email template and just doing copy paste it to all distributors and brands have very less chances of approval while on the other hand if we put some effort into doing emails and send personalized emails to brands and distributors we will get results in a short while.
Hope it may help!

Budget Breakdown FBA Wholesale USA

Many people get confused on hearing different figures for Fba Wholesale Budget Breakdown. So, here it is in a simplified manner.

1) Account Creation: $800 - this includes
a) LLC Registration
b) EIN Number
c) Reseller Certificate
d) Bank Account (Virtual or Physical Bank)
e) Phone number
f) Physical address

2) Website Creation - $120

3) Amazon Professional Account Signup - $40

4) Finding Profitable Products from Brands or Distributors and getting approvals - Assume you find out 4 profitable products. Suppose their price each is $13. And you order 20 units each for testing purpose. So, $13*20*4=$1040

5) You figured out 2 products are performing well - Two of them are not worth the investment. So you order 200 units of 3 products. So $13*200*2=$5200

6) Generating FNSKU labels and Shipment - If supplier or brand agrees for generating FNSKU labels, go for it. If they denies, then hire a prep service. Suppose they charge $0.6 per product. So, $0.6*20*4=$48 ; $0.6*200*2=$240. This is an optional expense, it varies.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 800+120+40+1040+5200+48+240=$7488.
Note: VA salary not included in this.

Getting your inventory live - once you get buy box rotation, you will get sales. Buy box rotation has its own strategies. 10-15% margin is expected in most cases. It can go further up if MOQ and relations are better. So expect $600 in the first month, yes first month when your inventory goes live.

This is why Fba wholesale is the most safest model. Once done with the right strategies, you will see the results.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

🌅FBA WHOLESALE, A SAFE HEAVEN FOR YOUR INVESTMENT! HOW.

As known by many FBA Wholesale is called the safer investment as compared to a PL where you have to start your own brand from zero. Wholesale saves you from a lot of this hassle and start to generate revenue in the first couple of months. It is the most ignored model which can give you amazing results.

💸Wholesale For Kitchen Income:
It is also a shorter journey as compared to a Amazon PL business, where you put all your efforts on only one product and pray it doesn’t take down all of your hard earned money with it. Whereas in wholesale you can play along with multiple products side-by-side from different categories, and whichever gives you the best results you can hang on to them in the long-run.

😱Eliminate your fears before you start-out!
It is always traumatizing to put your investment in a business you know very little about.
“What if my inventory does not sell out?”;
“What if I don’t get enough sales and end up being in loss?”
There are a lot of questions that pop up in your mind before you get into a new business. It’s just you getting out of your comfort zone and trying something new. So, before you start to throw your cash down the drain blindly, it’s always great to do some research of your own and find out if this is something that interests you.
On the other hand, you can always liquidate your inventory some other way and retrieve your original investment or with as minimum loss as possible. Which makes Wholesale a bulletproof investment model.

P.s. That’s how I learned, by asking questions in the group and seeking help from seniors and now I am working as a full-time VA for FBA Wholesale.

“The more you delay your decisions, the further away you go from your success.” It’s better to start today and see results 6 months from now then to start 6 months from now and see the results at the end of next year. So, decide now!
If you have any queries feel free to ask me.
