Amazon sellers know the Buy Box is important – but did you know more than 80% of sales on Amazon happen through the Buy Box? At more than $46 billion in sales last quarter, that’s a lot of revenue tied to just a handful of product placements!

So how do you consistently win the Buy Box? Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) program participation, product reviews, and title optimization play a role, but the single most important factor is Amazon product pricing.

Keeping your products’ pricing consistent with the rest of the market is often time-consuming and difficult. You can add to that frustration if you’re selling an item that has an Amazon-branded counterpart, as those tend to be extra competitive!
