亚马逊服装品牌定价困境:如何在激烈竞争中突围?
随着亚马逊时尚品类的快速增长,服装品牌正面临前所未有的定价挑战。 2020年11月至2021年11月期间,亚马逊服装、鞋子和珠宝品类销售额增长48.7%,达到411亿美元。 然而,平台内卷、成本上涨和亚马逊严格的定价政策让许多卖家陷入困境。
As Amazon's fashion category grows rapidly, apparel brands are facing unprecedented pricing challenges. From November 2020 to November 2021, Amazon's apparel, shoes and jewelry category sales grew 48.7% to $41.1 billion. However, internal competition, rising costs and Amazon's strict pricing policies have put many sellers in a dilemma.
知名品牌如Hanes(5.483亿美元)、Adidas(4.594亿美元)和Carhartt(3.622亿美元)都在亚马逊上取得了成功。但中小品牌却面临更大的定价压力。OrganicSignatures创始人Oren Barnoy表示:"有机棉成本在疫情期间激增,但在亚马逊上转嫁成本给消费者并不容易。"
Well-known brands like Hanes ($548.3 million), Adidas ($459.4 million) and Carhartt ($362.2 million) have all succeeded on Amazon. But small and medium brands face greater pricing pressure. Oren Barnoy, founder of OrganicSignatures, said: "Organic cotton costs surged during the pandemic, but it's not easy to pass costs on to consumers on Amazon."
亚马逊的定价政策成为卖家最大挑战。卖家如果定价明显高于市场水平,可能面临listing被移除甚至账户停用的风险。许多卖家采取"温水煮青蛙"策略,每次小幅提价2美元,观察市场反应。
Amazon's pricing policy has become the biggest challenge for sellers. Sellers who price significantly above market levels may face listing removal or even account suspension. Many sellers adopt a "boiling frog" strategy, raising prices by $2 each time and observing market reactions.
数字市场咨询公司Batty Fang创始人Chris McIntire指出:"售价69-110美元之间的服装品牌在亚马逊上表现最佳。"但同时,亚马逊也在通过自有品牌(超过100个)和低价策略(如30-40美元的Colorfulkoala瑜伽裤)吸引不同消费能力的顾客。
Chris McIntire, founder of digital marketing consulting firm Batty Fang, noted: "Apparel brands priced between $69-$110 perform best on Amazon." At the same time, Amazon is also attracting customers with different spending power through private labels (over 100) and low-price strategies (such as $30-$40 Colorfulkoala yoga pants).
未来趋势:线上线下融合。亚马逊计划在俄亥俄州和加利福尼亚州开设百货商店展示自有品牌服装,并与Kohl's合作(帮助其在2020年新增200万客户)。这表明亚马逊正在加速向实体零售扩张,服装品类将成为重要战场。
Future trend: Online-offline integration. Amazon plans to open department stores in Ohio and California to showcase private label apparel, and partner with Kohl's (helping it add 2 million new customers in 2020). This shows Amazon is accelerating its expansion into physical retail, with apparel becoming a key battleground.
对于想在亚马逊上成功的服装品牌,专家建议:
1. 采取渐进式定价策略
2. 注重产品质量和差异化
3. 密切关注亚马逊政策变化
4. 考虑多渠道销售策略
For apparel brands that want to succeed on Amazon, experts recommend:
1. Adopt gradual pricing strategies
2. Focus on product quality and differentiation
3. Closely monitor Amazon policy changes
