Challenges
Increase Volume and Improve Profitability
Retail Bloom partnered with an outdoor brand that had several distribution and sales channels making it hard for the brand to identify 3P sellers and other sellers selling directly to Amazon via Vendor Central.
After investigating all of their listings, Retail Bloom found their brand’s image, awareness, and loyalty were negatively impacted as a result of inaccurate pricing. This brand was also challenged by the unknown number and identity of unauthorized third-party sellers. Lastly, the brand’s content integrity was difficult to accurately monitor as a result of their lack of brand protection.
Performance Problems
Hundreds of sellers on Amazon and other marketplaces
Unknown distributors selling directly to Amazon via Vendor Central
No MAP policy or price monitoring system
Actions
Retail Bloom executed an action plan to assist the Spyder with protecting their brand. Once a comprehensive product and channel analysis using SellerSight identified 400 sellers, Retail Bloom took a proactive approach to obtain proof of legitimate inventory from over 200 Amazon sellers. This allowed the brand to review invoices and control distribution internally.
From there, Retail Bloom collaborated with different members within the brand’s organization to create policies that would allow them to better control MAP and distribution.
Leveraged SellerSight to identify 400+ sellers
