Most of the offered products are traded with a margin of 10-75%. At first glance, the share of products with a negative margin at 20.15% is very large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-721240-identifier\">Reasons for negative margins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-991472-identifier\">When looking at these products more closely, there are usually three reasons for this.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ol class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list gb-responsive-984083-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-746467-identifier\">The product sells poorly or needs to be sold off to create liquidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-570116-identifier\">It is a new product listing that is set at a competitive price for the product launch to generate as many orders as possible in the shortest time and thus quickly rise in the Amazon rankings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-159808-identifier\">The selling price is simply calculated incorrectly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-370359-identifier\">Monitoring profitability with a profit dashboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-971916-identifier\">Product margins have a direct impact on the overall profitability of an Amazon business. Therefore, every Amazon seller should regularly analyze relevant product data and keep important metrics in mind to respond promptly to negative developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-602700-identifier\">As is well known, data analyses are complex and require a significant amount of time. This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/business-analytics-tool-amazon\/\">SELLERLOGIC Business Analytics<\/a> comes in for Amazon sellers: It presents complex data on the performance of products, Amazon accounts, and marketplaces in a clear manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-338200-identifier\">With SELLERLOGIC Business Analytics, you can identify unprofitable products and take appropriate steps to maintain the profitability of your Amazon business. Detailed cost and profit overviews also help in making data-driven decisions, which may include cost optimization or even removing affected products from the assortment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-148186-identifier\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-626838-identifier\">With new customers, we often find that their selling prices are calculated incorrectly. Large sellers find it very difficult to monitor products with different selling commissions on various marketplaces and to adapt to the market situation in a timely manner. Small sellers often lack the necessary know-how to calculate the correct selling price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-257953-identifier\"><strong>Avoid negative returns with the right calculation and make good use of your precious time. Leave the price control to SELLERLOGIC, which adapts to the market situation on Amazon around the clock. Also, keep an eye on profit and loss developments using SELLERLOGIC Business Analytics and make timely data-driven decisions to maximize the potential of your Amazon business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-936157-identifier has-small-font-size\">Image credits in the order of the images: \u00a9 ra2 studio \u2013 stock.adobe.com \/ \u00a9 SELLERLOGIC GmbH \/ \u00a9 SELLERLOGIC GmbH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the constantly increasing competition, there is an enormous price war on Amazon.
