2. Supplier Contact

When you select a product for wholesale selling on Amazon, the first thing that you must look into is that the product should not be sold by a private label seller or Amazon. Generally, the products under Amazon’s brand are already at a competitive price and as a wholesaler, you cannot compete with the same. Also, many of the private label sellers will not allow the wholesalers to place offers on the product listings that are similar to theirs.

While picking a suitable product, try looking for well-established brands. Such successful brands would speed up the success of your business as a wholesaler on Amazon. You also need to check the demand for the product prior to making the selection.

Amazon has several products that fall under different categories. We recommend that you pick the products that fall under the following categories.

  • Arts, crafts, and sewing
  • Books
  • Baby
  • Electronics
  • Home and kitchen
  • Home and Garden
  • Home Improvement

Ensure that the BSR or the products picked by you should be equal to or more than 50000. BSR refers to the best sellers rank which is a score for the products on Amazon based on its sales history and sales volume. It is basically a measure of how each product in a category compares with the other products in the same category.

3. ROI Analysis

If you are looking to sell your products on Amazon, you would definitely want to earn some profit. Here is how you can calculate how much profit the chosen product will give you.

  • You might have noticed the “Buy Box” which has “Add to Cart” on Amazon. You need to make sure that you have priced the product within 2% of the price given in the “Buy Box”. If the price of your chosen product is higher than this, there is a possibility that it may never appear in the “Buy Box”.
  • From the final sales price, reduce the actual price of the product and the fee charged by Amazon. If the resultant number is a positive number, you can assume that you would profit from it.
  • Using the sales estimator by Jungle Scout (mentioned earlier), check the monthly sales of the chosen product. Divide this by the total number of sellers including you to get the average sales shared by the wholesalers.
For instance, if the deduced monthly sales of a product is 4000 and there are currently 10 sellers for it, the sales per month would be 400 (i.e. 4000/10).

  • Ensure that only up to 3 months of sales is kept in stock to avoid the added storage fees charged by Amazon. If we take the above calculations into consideration, you must keep around 1200 units in stock and not more than that.

If you want to know how much profitable the selected product would be, you can use the Helium 10 calculator for checking Amazon profitability. If you are thinking about your business total revenue, this calculator can be of great help. The following details can be found out using such a calculator.

  • FBA fees for storage
  • Product weight and dimensions
  • Fees for shipping
  • Percentages of profit margins
  • Current price of item
  • Product sizing, and so much more!

4. Purchase Orders

Once you have followed all the above steps and picked a product that gives you substantial profits, you can go ahead and order the selected product.

You start the ordering process by contacting the suppliers. When you do so, ensure that you thoroughly demonstrate how you can contribute to and enhance their existing brand identity. While doing so, keep in mind that these companies are majorly concerned with the patent, development, and marketing initiatives for the new product.

You need to pitch in your offer in such a way that they feel that you would valuably improve their brand and increase their product sales. Generally, such big companies do not have sufficient time to explore selling opportunities on Amazon and they also do not know how to do this. This will give you an upper hand when you propose to sell their product for them on Amazon.


Once the supplier or manufacturer agrees to the offer, you can place the order for the product/products. Generally, a standard procedure is followed when placing a product order. However, this procedure can change depending on the supplier.

Also, before starting a business with a supplier, you need to ask a few questions as well. Since you are going to invest a substantial amount of money to purchase their product, no question should seem silly to you.
