Are you trying to sell your products on Amazon but have not been able to win “Buy Box”? If yes, then Repricing becomes mandatory for you.

To win a buy box, there is a particular eligibility criterion set by Amazon. The landing price of the product has a very high impact on Buy Box and should be definitely taken care of.

According to Amazon, the lower the price, the more the chances of winning the Buy Box. Winning the buy box means getting the order as soon as the customer clicks “Add to Cart” so Amazon sellers constantly reprice the product price in order to win the buy box and generate more sales.

Most probably, the seller using the best repricing tool wins the buy box which can be unfair to other sellers providing good quality products, quick delivery, and best customer support. So, to get the best results, you need to go for a repricing tool that suits your business.

A well-known – Amazon FBA Management – Jeff Roth said “If you have more than 50 SKUs, then you really need to use the reprise tool as that will help you in repricing your products quickly and competing smartly.”

Pay Attention to your Business Needs

Not all repricer tools are the same. Though the selection of a repricer tool totally depends on your business needs, I would suggest you go for a cloud-based repricing tool as that will give you speed with data security.

Also ask yourself, whether you would like to go for a repricing tool, which requires minimal setup or in-depth setup.

The former would be easy for you to use but would have limited options. Whereas the latter would take time to set up but once it’s done, you can dominate the market.
