Selling on Amazon

We who run Levantou have ourselves started brands outside of Amazon, in traditional channels with distributors and retailers. We have become experts on Amazon while continuing to manage our traditional channel.

For our customers, it’s important that the traditional channel is not harmed by a launch on Amazon. The challenges our customers face are easier for us at Levantou to understand, thanks to the journey we have undertaken ourselves.

We have practically learned to master the platform and helped both ourselves and our clients achieve sales success via Amazon. We have extensive and practical experience in building, operating, and managing brands both on and off Amazon.

Whether you are a smaller company with unique products that you want to launch to a larger market, or if you are a larger company that does not want to sell on Amazon but rather take control over your own brand and monitor what happens on the platform, we can help.

We know what is required for entry on Amazon: account setup, brand registration, optimization of product pages and advertising so that your products are visible to potential customers, launching as well as ongoing strategy, maintenance, and brand monitoring.

Selling on Amazon in Sweden

Amazon can feel complicated, and it’s easy to make mistakes initially, so you should hire an expert in the field, who knows how to develop their sales and reach out with their brand in new markets. Levantou specializes in sales on Amazon, and we know what it takes to succeed on this vast platform.

Amazon established itself in Sweden in the autumn of 2020. Unlike many other countries, the Swedish market has significant competition in e-commerce. Many Swedish retail companies are at the forefront when it comes to direct sales via the internet and have established customer relationships. Therefore, it has taken a bit longer for Amazon to make its mark in Sweden compared to other countries. It’s not unusual for it to take some time for the market to mature, and looking at how it has gone when Amazon launched in other markets, we can conclude that, in the long term, it will be an incredibly important platform to be and be seen on.

Interest in Amazon Sweden is increasing; on average, the website had 14 million visitors per month in the first quarter of 2022, the potential is huge.

In Germany and the United Kingdom, where Amazon made its entry in 1998, Amazon today accounts for a market share of 50% and 35% of online trade, respectively.

Every day, more and more people discover the advantage of shopping from Amazon, and the competition for visibility increases day by day. The number of brands on Amazon is constantly expanding, so do not wait to launch your products. It is wise to secure a place on the largest e-commerce website in the Western world now.

Selling on Amazon from Sweden

One of the absolute biggest advantages with Amazon is the opportunity to reach a larger target audience. In the USA, 60% of all e-commerce occurs via Amazon, and in Europe, Germany and the United Kingdom are the biggest players. France, Italy, and Spain are on the rise and growing quickly.

Amazon gives you the opportunity to reach new customers easily, not just in Sweden but in Europe and the rest of the world.

Starting to sell on Amazon to a new market

When a company wants to establish sales in a new market, there are many questions and a great fear of pitfalls. At Levantou, we recommend, as a first step, analyzing the market to determine sales potential and investigate demand and competition.

There are also some practical things that are important to keep an eye on when it comes to selling in other countries. As a seller, you have a responsibility to comply with the laws and guidelines that apply in the country you want to sell in.

Selling prescription drugs, animals, or copies of other brands, for example, is not allowed. Besides, there may be differences between countries. Some products may be approved for sale within the EU but not in the USA.

Logistics, Shipping, and Delivery

Amazon has an incredibly well-developed and efficient logistics management that guarantees same-day delivery to some customers. This is one of the reasons why the e-commerce giant is so popular.

As a seller, you have two options when it comes to order handling. Either you handle this yourself, Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM), or you let Amazon handle the order processing, Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Then you don’t have to worry about shipping and returns.

The fast delivery that Amazon promises provides an important competitive advantage. This option requires you to send your products to Amazon’s warehouse in the market where you are going to sell and meet certain requirements regarding packing and labels.

If you are going to store products in a country where Amazon is present, you need to carefully review that you comply with current tax rules. If you are going to store products in an EU country or the UK, you need to be registered for VAT where you keep stock. In the USA, similar rules apply for Sales Tax, and in Australia, it’s GST that you need to be aware of. Here we are with advice and support.
