Any Amazon/ecom people located in Miami or in town for @eeemiami next week?

We're hosting a @MarketplacePuls dinner Wednesday night and have a few spots left. All brands, no agencies etc.

@Molson_Hart say it ain't so

@NewAgeMarketer blink twice if you're being forced to tweet these things against your will

@oliverbrocato @SahilBloom hard disagree. $20M, $50M, $200M -- all very much reachable for a mass market skincare brand. Much bigger potential upside.

@BlackLabelAdvsr Saying Trump saved Prime Day and Christmas is like saying you're a hero for calling the fire department... after setting your own house on fire.

@junglescout Definitely Canada, very few American sellers sell outside of North America.

@busybusneiss @Aaron_Cordovez Can't speak to profitablility, but location wise -- 68% China, 27% US, 5% ROW

I analyzed the top 10,000 Amazon sellers and found some fascinating trends.

TL;DR—longevity still the strongest predictor of success, but new sellers continue breaking through.

If for nothing more than a non-tariff centric e-commerce read (few and far between this week) 😰

[Marketplace Pulse @MarketplacePuls]

When it comes to success on Amazon, longevity remains the strongest predictor, but new opportunity continues to present itself.

Of the top 10,000 sellers on Amazon US, 62% registered on the platform prior to 2019.

Yet, there is still a meaningful presence from newer sellers.

@aaronrubin Hi Aaron, sent you a DM about this if you get a chance to read it, thank you

[Marketplace Pulse @MarketplacePuls]

The entire traffic of the 22 non-U.S. Amazon marketplaces is only marginally higher than Amazon(.)com on its own.

It's one of the significant factors behind 69% of Amazon sellers choosing to stick with just one marketplace to sell in.

CBP has updated their error codes to include a new one for "country code ineligible for type 86 entries" -- de minimus, duty free entries for China and potentially other countries appears to be going away imminently.
