The first 4 products I launched on Amazon have ‘generic’ brand name because I thought I needed a trademark to be able to use my own brand. But I was wrong. With the 5th and 6th product, I was able to get brand approval even if I don’t have a…

If you’re an Amazon Vendor, you may have been enjoying the simplicity of Amazon managing your inventory, pricing, and shipping. However, many vendors are now reconsidering their position and switching to Amazon’s Seller Central model. Here are a few compelling reasons why transitioning from being an Amazon Vendor to an…
