However, enterprise ecommerce on Amazon is vastly different from traditional DTC or retail strategies. It requires a deliberate, scalable, and data-driven approach.
In this article, we’ll explore what scaling brands on Amazon truly involves, key corporate strategies for Amazon marketplace, and how your company can take full advantage of Amazon services. More importantly, we’ll show you how our full-service Amazon agency can help establish and elevate your brand positioning to drive long-term success.
Why Amazon Matters for Large Brands
Amazon is no longer just a marketplace; it’s a search engine, a product discovery hub, and in many cases, the first touchpoint consumers have with your brand. More than 60% of product searches now start on Amazon, not Google. That makes it essential for large brands to not only appear on the platform but to dominate their category through curated brand experiences.
For enterprises, Amazon offers:
- Massive Reach: Access to millions of global customers.
- Brand Storefronts: Customized spaces to tell your brand story.
- Powerful Advertising Tools: From Sponsored Products to DSP, Amazon’s ad platform rivals Google and Meta.
- Logistics Infrastructure: Through FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), brands can scale without reinventing the wheel.
Yet with this opportunity comes complexity.
The Challenges of Enterprise E-commerce on Amazon
Enterprise ecommerce on Amazon requires more than listing products and hoping they sell. Large brands often face hurdles such as:
- Channel conflict with retail partners
- Loss of pricing control
- Lack of internal Amazon expertise
- Risk of brand dilution or unauthorized sellers
- Operational inefficiencies across catalog, inventory, and compliance
To overcome these, brands need a structured Amazon strategy tailored to their size, market position, and growth ambitions.
Corporate Strategies for Amazon Marketplace
When approaching Amazon at scale, brands must consider a mix of operational, strategic, and creative initiatives. Below are the core pillars:
1. Strategic Brand Positioning on Amazon
Establishing a strong brand positioning on Amazon ensures your value proposition stands out in a crowded marketplace. This includes:
- Building a high-impact Amazon Brand Store that mirrors your DTC site.
- Using A+ Content to enhance product detail pages with rich visuals and storytelling.
- Owning branded search terms through Sponsored Brand campaigns.
- Implementing brand registry protections to prevent unauthorized sellers.
2. Catalog Optimization and Variation Strategy
For large brands with hundreds or thousands of SKUs, catalog architecture is crucial. Streamlined parent/child listings, keyword-rich titles, and optimized bullet points can dramatically improve discoverability and conversions.
Our agency employs data-backed frameworks to consolidate and enhance listings across product lines, ensuring consistency and discoverability.
3. Retail Readiness and Operational Excellence
A brand can’t scale on Amazon without operational readiness. This includes:
- Maintaining 95%+ in-stock rates
- Adhering to Amazon’s strict fulfillment metrics
- Monitoring buy box performance and pricing integrity
- Leveraging Amazon Vendor Central or Seller Central appropriately
Depending on your supply chain capabilities, we’ll help you determine the right hybrid model to reduce friction and increase efficiency.
4. Advanced Amazon Advertising Strategy
Paid media is the engine that powers visibility and growth on Amazon. But large brands often waste spend due to disjointed campaigns or underutilized tools. Our full-funnel ad strategy includes:
- Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display
- Amazon DSP for retargeting and awareness
- Geo-targeting and keyword harvesting
- Budget forecasting and ROAS optimization
These efforts ensure your ads not only convert but also reinforce your brand positioning on Amazon.
5. Data Analytics and Business Intelligence
Enterprise brands need access to insights, not just reports. Our proprietary dashboards track:
- ASIN-level performance
- Market share analysis
- Ad efficiency and incremental lift
- Customer lifetime value by product line
This empowers brands to make strategic decisions across marketing, supply chain, and product development.
