Amazon’s Profit Analytics Amazon just launched Profit Analytics and it’s more than a reporting tool. Beyond seeing fees and costs at account and product levels, this tool gives sellers a full picture of true profitability. You can track performance across product groups, plug in custom COGS, and model scenarios like FBA and Ships in Product Packaging. What Impact will it make in coming days: • Sellers can now make data-driven pricing and ad decisions, reducing wasted spend. • Scenario modeling could predict margin impacts before launching new products. • Weekly monitoring will become a norm, enabling proactive cost management instead of reactive fixes. • Expect Amazon sellers who leverage this early to scale smarter, improve profitability, and gain a competitive edge. Before: • Struggled to track true profit margins. • Missed hidden costs like storage fees and external ad spend. • Lacked clarity on product-level performance. After: • Gained a comprehensive view of all costs, including COGS and external advertising. • Utilized scenario modeling to predict impacts of different strategies. • Improved decision-making with clear insights into profitability. This tool empowers sellers to make data-driven decisions, ensuring sustainable growth and profitability. #AmazonSellers #ProfitAnalytics #EcommerceStrategy #FBA #DataDrivenGrowth #AmazonTools

We found a new profit leak for many sellers: Amazon AWD is losing inventory, and sellers aren’t tracking it. New tariffs are coming, and Amazon is changing reimbursements to be based only on COGS. So, any process to boost profitability is a must-use nowadays. At GNO Partners, we work with over 100 Amazon sellers daily. We’re seeing more and more missing units from AWD shipments. If you're not monitoring this, you’re leaving thousands of profits on the table. How to Catch AWD Mistakes & Get Reimbursed: • AWD Inbound report: Compare expected vs. received units. • AWD Outbound: Track shipments from AWD to FBA. • Open cases for all missing units from both Inbound and Outbound reports. • Monthly Process: Execute this monthly as the reports include only 30 days of data. To tackle this, assign a VA from your team to be responsible for the process. Every month, he needs to: • Download the reports. • Track missing units received in AWD • Track missing units received in FBA from AWD. • Open cases and claim the value of the missing units. • Also recommended he’ll manually audit shipments beyond 30 days. It’s a simple process that can lead to tens of thousands of extra profits at the end of the year. Comment "Reimbursements" below, and I’ll send you the full step-by-step guide we use at GNO Partners. P.S. We have many more processes to increase your brand's profit at GNO Partners. DM me for more information.

Here is your calculator since Amazon just turned promotions into a math quiz Amazon’s new promotion fees are not as simple as they look Yes, the upfront costs are going down. Yes, you get more control over deal timing. But no, this does not mean your fees will magically be “better.” Here’s the real kicker: Now Amazon gets paid more when your promotions actually work. Starting June 2, 2025, the structure flips from a flat fee to a performance-based one. Before, Amazon charged a flat fee no matter how much you sold. Now, the more you sell, the more you pay. Which means: 👉 You still pay daily to run the deal ($70 per day) 👉 You ALSO pay 1% of all your deal sales 👉 But that part is capped at $2,000 total Sounds nice on paper. But in practice? This can be more expensive than before depending on your strategy, product price, and volume. Let’s play it out: If you sell $250,000 in a promo, you’ll pay the daily rate (let’s say $980 for 14 days) plus $2,000 for the variable fee (because you hit the cap). Total? $2,980 The old fee? Just $300. Same deal. Bigger bill. Now Amazon is putting the weight on you to figure out whether the numbers will work in your favor. If you’re a high-volume seller, this can get tricky fast. If you’re new to promotions, it could cost you more than you expect. That’s why Carbon6 just launched a free calculator that lets you plug in your product numbers, test different deal scenarios, and find out exactly what your promo will cost under the new rules. Check out our calculator 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g_k8T7Qd Because guessing is not a strategy. So what should you be doing right now? ✅ Run your numbers ✅ Compare old fees vs new ones ✅ Check how deal length impacts your costs ✅ Rethink your coupon game (they’re changing too) ✅ Plan smarter for Prime Day, which is also seeing fee updates This update isn’t just “Amazon being generous.” It’s a new system that makes you responsible for making the right moves or paying the price. The sellers who model first will win. The sellers who react later will lose money they didn’t need to. So go ahead and start playing with our calculator! #AmazonSellers #AmazonFBA #MarketplaceStrategy #Carbon6 #FBAFees #PromoMath #AmazonDeals #EcommerceMarketing #AmazonChanges #PrimeDay2025 #SellerStrategy #DataDrivenSelling #ProfitProtection #CouponCosts

Here's a tip - for anyone with online sales .... When you sell on Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce or the like - that income comes in to the bank. And that's where you'd want it to go! That income is often after any fees. So - you make a sale, but wrapped up in that sale you might have: + Sale of goods - Discounts - Fees not to mention use of gift cards, shipping - and then VAT. What we often discover is that the cash you get in the bank is all treated as income. This has the potential to understate how much you are generating in sales, understate your VAT liability - and doesn't give you the opportunity to understand how much you are paying in fees / discounts. If you use gift cards then that brings in some other issues. The fix is generally straightforward. At Accountability Edinburgh we love A2X. With a bit of a set up - you can link A2X to your online account and to Xero and have everything mapped to the right places. Your payouts all come in mapped to the right place - and you get the numbers you need, reliably in the right place. We still recommend a quick sales reconciliation at the month end, because, you know, we're accountants and we like that assurance 😉 but the BEST bit is that you get accurate numbers, daily.

Every Amazon seller thinks they understand their unit economics. They don't. What sellers think they track:  📊 Product cost: $10  📊 Amazon fees: $6  📊 Shipping: $2  📊 Profit: $7 on a $25 sale Simple math. Completely wrong. What they actually miss:  📊 PPC costs per unit.  📊 Return rate impact.  📊 Storage fees divided by velocity.  📊 Removal costs.  📊 Currency fluctuation.  📊 Opportunity cost of capital.  📊 Software costs per SKU. That $7 profit? It's actually $1.43. Or negative. I built a forensic accounting prompt that calculates TRUE unit economics in seconds: "Analyze these Amazon reports. Calculate real profit by including: PPC spend per unit (30-day average), Storage fees (cubic footage x days), Return processing costs, Opportunity cost (capital x 8% / velocity) Show: SKU | Assumed Profit | True Profit | Leak Sources" What it revealed in my portfolio: Product A:  $12 assumed → $7.23 actual (oversized storage fees) Product B:  $8.50 assumed → -$0.67 actual (31% PPC dependency) Product C:  $4 assumed → $9.87 actual (underpriced by $8) The AI even spots patterns humans miss: "Tuesday launches have 23% better lifetime economics"  "Short bullet points require 40% more PPC spend" When you know TRUE unit economics, you can:  • Bid aggressively on hidden-margin products  • Kill zombie SKUs that look profitable but aren't  • Price based on reality, not fantasy Warning: First time you run this?  You'll discover 30% of your catalog is actually losing money. That's exactly why you need to do it. Most sellers are playing poker without looking at their cards. AI gives you X-ray vision. Use it.

In the last 6 months, I’ve audited 47 Amazon accounts. Most eCom founders assume their problem is traffic. Or that they need to crank up ad spend. But the biggest issue is: they don’t actually know which products are making them money. And that’s where things start to unravel: - Celebrating “bestsellers” that are secretly losing cash - Missing the chance to double down on true winners - Wasting ad spend propping up losing SKUs I see this all the time with both new and established brands. One client thought they were crushing it… until our onboarding audit revealed 35% of their catalog was bleeding money, on products they believed were their heroes. Fixing it isn’t complicated. But you have to understand data. To make that process easier, the first thing I do with any new client: - Map the P&L for every single product so we know the real margins. From there, we can hit the gas on our high-margin SKUs and stay cautious on the low-margin ones. My simple rule: profit has to come before growth. — Hi I’m Chad 👋 Follow me for tips on profitably scaling your brand on Amazon. 

🔍 Surviving Amazon's Fee Maze: A Seller's Guide to Protecting Your Profits I've witnessed first hand how constantly evolving fees are squeezing sellers' margins thinner each year. When sellers approach us, many are operating on razor-thin 10-15 % net margins - and that's before accounting for their time investment and hidden operational costs. Each new fee introduction takes another bite out of those already slim margins. Rather than just highlighting the problem, let's dive into actionable strategies to protect your profitability. Here are three powerful approaches that have helped our clients maintain healthy margins despite rising fees. 1. 📊 Master Your SKU-Level Profitability The days of rough profit estimates are over. Modern Amazon selling requires surgical precision in understanding your numbers. Here's how to do it right: - Implement a robust profit tracking tool (we use Profit Cyclops) that factors in 70+ different fees at sku level - Include true COGS and logistics costs for each product - This tool factors in advertising costs at the SKU level - Take action: Either eliminate unprofitable SKUs or redistribute PPC spend to better-performing products 2. 💎 Leverage Lifetime Value (LTV) in Your Strategy Here's a game-changing perspective many sellers miss. Let's break down a real example: Product A: Toothpaste (Recurring Purchase) - Initial sale price: £7.99 - First purchase margin: 30% (£2.40) - Target ACOS: 25% - 12-month LTV: £95.88 (assuming monthly repurchase) - Potential profit per unit over 12 months: £28.80 Product B: Toothbrush Holder (One-time Purchase) - Sale price: £7.99 - Margin: 30% (£2.40) - Target ACOS: 25% - No additional LTV - Total profit per unit : £2.40 The math speaks for itself - you can afford to be significantly more aggressive with PPC spend on products with strong LTV. This could mean accepting a higher initial ACOS on recurring purchase items, knowing you'll recoup it through repeat sales. 3. 🔧 Optimize Your Operational Efficiency Don't overlook these critical optimization opportunities: - Audit FBA long-term storage fees - consider removing slow-moving inventory - Compare FBA vs. FBM vs. Vendor Central costs for each product - Renegotiate supplier terms - both pricing and payment terms - Conduct regular PPC audits to eliminate wasteful keywords - Review handling fees and packaging options Future-Proofing Your Amazon Business The key to long-term success isn't just adapting to current fees - it's building a business model that can absorb future changes. Focus on: - Building strong brands that command premium pricing - Developing unique products with healthy initial margins - Creating efficient operations that can scale - Maintaining detailed analytics to spot issues early What strategies have you found effective in dealing with Amazon's rising fees?

Amazon is significantly overhauling its promotional fee structure for coupons and deals starting June 2, 2025—and brands should be paying close attention. Here’s what’s changing: Coupons • Current: $0.60 per redemption • New: $5 per coupon created + 2.5% of sales from redemptions This creates a key pricing inflection point: → Products under ~$22 will likely see lower fees → Higher-priced products (especially $200+) will see a notable increase Deals • Current: Flat fees (e.g. $300 for Best Deals) • New: $70/day + 1% of sales (capped), with peak event fees unchanged Prime Day 2025 will also expand to a 4-day event, meaning: • More exposure potential • Higher peak event fees applied across a longer window • Greater need for inventory planning and strategic deal timing What does this look like in practice? For a brand selling 1,000 units: → $10 product: 57.5% decrease in coupon fees → $30 product: 25.8% increase in coupon fees Now is the time to reassess your Amazon promotional strategy. These changes will impact everything from pricing and margin to inventory and ad spend planning. Is your team prepared?
