Upon joining the Amazon marketplace, a new brand will usually find itself at the bottom of the barre. There are a ton of things brands need to acquaint themselves with when it comes to selling on Amazon ranging from how to market themselves, how to drive traffic and increase sales, how to become a leader in their category, and getting raving reviews from customers.

In addition, most businesses joining Amazon and wishing to scale quickly often overlook the initial expense that comes with joining the platform and making their presence known to its large market. Amazon is a totally different ballgame from other online channels and getting the hang of how things work on the platform can take time.
