Are Your Products Cheaper or Unique on Amazon?
On a platform like Amazon with hundreds, if not thousands, of competing products, it's crucial to stand out, and you need to ask an important question:
Are your products cheaper or unique on Amazon?
If they are neither, it will be challenging for you, regardless of how many tricks you use.
Cheaper products naturally sell better because customers who aren't looking for anything special will play it safe and buy the cheapest option that solves their problem. Often, this is a generic product with many similar competitors driving down prices.
Being the cheapest is easy but also hard. Many competitors drive prices down, and the margin quickly disappears. The only alternative is to be unique. To have a monopoly on something. If the customer wants this, they must come to you.
By unique, I don't just mean different. The product must be better in some way. Or rather, better for someone. Better doesn't just mean practically better (e.g., size, color, function, etc.). If a customer is seeking status, a product that provides this is the better option. The product must solve a problem that no other competitor solves better. Because as soon as someone else solves the problem better, the only alternative is to be cheaper.
