This means that they do not sell directly to end customers but become a supplier to Amazon. A classic B2B business relationship is created with the online giant.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-197323-identifier\">In many forums, however, there are frustrated vendors reporting difficulties with the program. Additionally, it seems that more and more content that was originally reserved for vendors is being made available to sellers. So what are the advantages of the vendor program?<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-428507-identifier\">The online giant is rather reserved with information about the program. Only in Vendor Central do sellers learn more. For that, registration as a vendor is necessary.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-712271-identifier\">Therefore, we spoke with Jens Armbrecht, e-commerce expert and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopvires.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Shopvires<\/a>, about the advantages of the vendor program.<\/p><hr class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-separator\"><\/hr>\t\t<div  class=\"theme-wp-block theme-block-guest-author gb-responsive-925772-identifier\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-inner-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"guest-author-avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cover-avatar\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142955\/Jens_Armbrecht-scaled-1.jpg);\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"guest-author-sign\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"author-sign\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"guest-author-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"heading-text\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Jens Armbrecht<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"guest-author-description\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"description\"><p>The e-commerce expert and founder of Shopvires has been active in online retail for 17 years and is passionate about building and expanding businesses.

What advantages do you see in the vendor program compared to Seller Central?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-801173-identifier\">Jens Armbrecht: &#8220;First, one must keep in mind for whom the vendor program is actually intended. Most vendors are the manufacturers of products that sell directly to Amazon.<br>Even though sellers and vendors are increasingly converging in terms of &#8216;functionality,&#8217; such as A+ Content, the vendor program will still remain attractive for manufacturers.<br>There is a very simple reason for this: Many larger manufacturers cannot or do not want to sell directly to end customers for various reasons and therefore need someone like Amazon.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-559967-identifier\"><strong>SELLERLOGIC: Who would you recommend to switch from Seller to Vendor? Would you also recommend some vendors to switch to the Seller program?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-487500-identifier\">Jens Armbrecht: &#8220;This cannot be answered so broadly. In most cases, a hybrid strategy makes the most sense, meaning being both a Vendor and a Seller at the same time.<br>However, one should be very clear about what one wants on one hand and what one can do on the other.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-576084-identifier\"><strong>SELLERLOGIC: In many forums, there are complaints that the costs of the vendor program are very opaque, such as the advertising cost surcharges. Are you familiar with this issue? What would you advise those affected?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-18104-identifier\">Jens Armbrecht: &#8220;Yes, I do hear that from time to time. However, it is by no means opaque. A look into Vendor Central shows why one has paid certain &#8216;penalties.&#8217;<br>Certainly, there are real challenges, such as the SIOC program &#8211; but 90% of the time, it is due to the vendor not having control over their processes.&#8221;<\/p><blockquote class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-quote gb-responsive-541178-identifier desktop-icon-size-2 xl-icon-size-2 lg-icon-size-2 md-icon-size-2 sm-icon-size-2 desktop-bg-style-circle xl-bg-style-circle lg-bg-style-circle md-bg-style-circle sm-bg-style-circle desktop-gb-has-icon xl-gb-has-icon lg-gb-has-icon md-gb-has-icon sm-gb-has-icon is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span style=\"font-size:0.8em\" class=\"has-font-size\">SIOC is a method that Amazon uses to package goods for the customer. The online giant aims to produce as little packaging waste as possible.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-405841-identifier\">Amazon&#8217;s requirements are indeed very high, but every vendor knows this in advance &#8211; at least if they have properly informed themselves and not just had dollar signs in their eyes.<br>A clear tip: Everyone should seek external advice beforehand, for example from us, to have a neutral assessment in the end of whether they can even meet the requirements and to ensure that the endeavor does not become a bottomless pit.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-311654-identifier\"><strong>SELLERLOGIC: A few years ago, one of the arguments for Vendor Central was access to advanced advertising formats like A+ Content and Amazon Vine. However, these are now also accessible to sellers. Is a vendor status still worthwhile?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-99438-identifier\">Jens Armbrecht: &#8220;Yes, especially since larger manufacturers have no way to send an item with an invoice to an end customer, the vendor program will still be needed here.<br>However, all manufacturers\/vendors should fundamentally reconsider this or position themselves differently to be more agile and not so heavily dependent on a single customer (which is essentially what Amazon is in the vendor program). We are also happy to support here and highlight the corresponding advantages and disadvantages.&#8221;<\/p><div class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-image gb-responsive-956668-identifier\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142954\/AdobeStock_284879503-scaled-1-844x421.jpeg\" alt=\"E-commerce expert Jens Armbrecht in an interview: The advantages of Amazon's vendor program\" class=\"wp-image-1003\" width=\"605\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142954\/AdobeStock_284879503-scaled-1-407x203.jpeg 407w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142954\/AdobeStock_284879503-scaled-1-768x383.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142954\/AdobeStock_284879503-scaled-1-844x421.jpeg 844w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142954\/AdobeStock_284879503-scaled-1-1536x767.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142954\/AdobeStock_284879503-scaled-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-893977-identifier\"><strong>SELLERLOGIC: Another advantage mentioned in many blog posts is that vendors no longer have to worry about logistics and customer support. However, FBA sellers also have this advantage. How do the systems differ in this regard?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-780121-identifier\">Jens Armbrecht: &#8220;It&#8217;s not that easy to compare. Yes, fundamentally Amazon (to some extent) takes over customer support when using FBA.<br>However, an invoice must be written for each order. Certainly, this can now also be done through Amazon, but especially larger manufacturers have a problem with this.<br>If a vendor contract is negotiated properly, there are also no returns, which is another point that I, as a manufacturer, do not have to worry about.<br>A vendor business can be a classic B2B business, even though there are certainly some pitfalls.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-288660-identifier\"> <strong>SELLERLOGIC: Are there any announcements about further advantages for vendors that will remain exclusive to them and not be opened to sellers? <\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-419985-identifier\">Jens Armbrecht: &#8220;I have actually heard one or two things about that, but I cannot say anything yet.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-128633-identifier\"><strong>SELLERLOGIC: Thank you!<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-337662-identifier has-small-font-size\">Image credits in the order of the images: \u00a9 alexmishchenko &#8211; stock.adobe.com \/ \u00a9 thodonal &#8211; stock.adobe.com<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-792606-identifier has-small-font-size\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon sellers can sell their goods not only as a Seller but also as a Vendor.
