“Private Label” has been a buzzword in ecommerce for several years. But what does it mean for Amazon sellers in particular (and ecommerce operators more broadly) in 2021?
How do we gain a real, sustainable competitive advantage? On Amazon, one question is paramount: How do we make our products different enough from the competition not be just shopped on Price? Get this wrong and at most you’ll make empty sales, with no profits and probably a loss. Get this right and you have a chance to make sustainable profits.
In this 2nd of 3 episodes on this topic, we dive into Michael’s principles 5 through 9 of 12 to answer these questions.
What you’ll learn
- What your “P & P” is and why it’s critical to differentiating your product
- Why talking to people matters so much…and why you DON’T talk about products initially

- What “search intent” is and why it matters so much
- Why keyword research alone will never be enough to create differentiated products
- Why sourcing needs to be part of market selection
- Why local sourcing (worldwide) can be a super smart sourcing strategy
