Amazon Business may be a great choice for some sellers and a terrible channel for others. It depends on the products you sell, the competition within your industry, and your willingness to comply with the numerous restrictions Amazon places on sellers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as with their consumer site, Amazon Business is already the go-to place for not only small businesses but Fortune 100 companies and the massive government procurement market. The SLED (state, local and educational) market encompasses everything from city government to utility providers, police departments, hospitals, educational institutions, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before you decide to jump into selling on Amazon\u2019s B2B marketplace, carefully weigh the pros and cons. Some will dismiss Amazon altogether. Others will need to dig deeper and determine the extent they want to utilize Amazon\u2019s platform. In this guide, we\u2019ll explore the pros and cons of selling on Amazon Business for B2B businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Amazon Business?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon created a solely business-to-business (B2B) marketplace in 2015. The internet giant\u2019s retail prowess, tech solutions, and the weight behind its name have proven to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/blog\/adapting-to-the-customer-behavior-what-b2b-e-commerce-can-learn-from-amazon-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">very attractive to business buyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Amazon Business platform transforms B2C into B2B with business-specific features such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses prices separate from consumer prices<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multi-user accounts with permissions and approval settings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reporting ability for sales data and business expenses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different business purchasing options, payment terms, and credits<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One benefit of selling through Amazon Business is reaching customers that are difficult to reach through marketing your own eCommerce store. For example, there are businesses that solely use Amazon Business for its omnipresence, familiarity, or company policy. Amazon\u2019s strong marketing tools help attract business buyers within the commercial, SLED, healthcare, or nonprofit sectors and support tax codes for buyers in the UK and EU.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Amazon Business Matters<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business is becoming the go-to place for businesses because it makes purchasing easier. And, with a track record of low prices and fast shipping, Amazon Business is quickly becoming a destination for B2B buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83944\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends.png\" alt=\"top online shopping trends\" width=\"1640\" height=\"901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends.png 1640w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends-720x396.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends-760x418.png 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends-1536x844.png 1536w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends-360x198.png 360w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/online-shopping-trends-1080x593.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingcharts.com\/industries\/retail-and-e-commerce-113138\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that a whopping 63% of shoppers first search for products on Amazon before looking elsewhere. As Amazon-proficient millennials continue filling upwards of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.incentivesolutions.com\/target-market-demographics-millenials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">73% of decision making roles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the B2B sector, manufacturers and distributors must work hard to win them over. These digital natives may appreciate value-added services such as industry knowledge and unique technical expertise but they were raised on Amazon and Amazon is where they turn to make a purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Amazon Business matters because it provides B2B vendors a huge pool of prospective customers and a solid FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) service that enables merchants to streamline fulfillment and maximize exposure under one roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Start Selling on Amazon Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you use Amazon Business to augment your traditional distribution channels or rely on it as your sole eCommerce channel, getting started is easy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Register for the Professional Seller account.

The Professional Seller account currently costs $39.99 per month.

Amazon Business allows product information options such as brochures, instructions, technical or safety certifications.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market your products with custom discounts, sponsored listings, and enable additional services such as installation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Pros of Amazon Business<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83947\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pros-of-amazon-business.jpg\" alt=\"pros of amazon business\" width=\"904\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pros-of-amazon-business.jpg 904w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pros-of-amazon-business-720x382.jpg 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pros-of-amazon-business-760x403.jpg 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pros-of-amazon-business-768x407.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pros-of-amazon-business-360x191.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Source: Amazon]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business offers advantages such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Large market<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business has a sizable customer base. In 2019, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalcommerce360.com\/2019\/04\/01\/amazon-business-a-giant-awakens\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this included<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fortune 100 companies, 80% of the largest educational institutions, 50% of the biggest hospitals, and 40% of the nation\u2019s local governments. Smaller B2Bs can see immediate exposure and boost traffic when they join the Amazon Business marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many businesses and SLED entities prefer to purchase a wide variety of items in one place: from electronics and furniture to office stationery and even toys. Business buyers who already have experience with Amazon appreciate the breadth of selection and familiarity with the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Recurring orders<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many business buyers purchase the same items on a regular basis. Amazon Business promotes this practice through its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/businessprime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Prime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offering. This encourages buyers to set up recurring orders. If you sell spare parts for tools, consumables, PPE equipment, or any item purchased on a regular basis, Amazon Business will keep those orders coming to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Business Support Services<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business provides the necessary infrastructure that B2B buyers want (e.g. account management, multi-user support, business account payment options, etc.). Amazon Business supports sellers with fulfillment services that include warehousing products, shipping goods, managing returns, and servicing customer issues or complaints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business also supports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sell.amazon.com\/advertising.html?ref_=sdus_soa_ads_n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">advertising efforts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and handles your payment processing. For small B2B eCommerce businesses that are just starting out these may be valuable services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Ease of use<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By registering a seller\u2019s account with Amazon Business, you can launch your B2B eCommerce business in just a few hours. Instead of building your own infrastructure and website (which might require significant upfront investments in both cost and time), you can start selling immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon has a reputation for great seller support. They are ready to help if you experience technical problems or issues with set up. While a B2B eCommerce vendor will likely offer the same, Amazon\u2019s support team, helpful content, and large seller community tend to address most issues sellers run into.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Institutional trust<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers are always cautious when working with new vendors as there are many variables and unknowns. Because Amazon is a reputable and trusted brand, customers feel comfortable purchasing through them. Like a borrowed halo, you benefit from the trust buyers have in the Amazon name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if shoppers don\u2019t go to Amazon Business looking specifically for your store, your presence in the marketplace provides an air of credibility. Business buyers understand that Amazon is committed to customer experience, and that commitment is automatically associated with your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Diversity<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon is one of the largest American corporate structures, so they take pride in showcasing brands that demonstrate the diversity and social and corporate responsibility. They have special promotion options and a number of bonuses for startups, female, minority, or veteran-owned businesses. You can reach buyers who look for these criteria, carve out your niche, and grow your brand presence within it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Cons of Amazon Business<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83948\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/cons-of-amazon-business.jpg\" alt=\"cons of amazon business\" width=\"910\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/cons-of-amazon-business.jpg 910w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/cons-of-amazon-business-720x385.jpg 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/cons-of-amazon-business-760x406.jpg 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/cons-of-amazon-business-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/cons-of-amazon-business-360x192.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[Source: Kevin Hagen\/Getty Images]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing is perfect. Selling on Amazon Business has a downside. Here are a few things to consider when deciding if this channel is right for your business:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Lack of control<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the money you will pay to sell on the platform, Amazon won\u2019t allow you to control it very much. Once a part of the Amazon marketplace, you\u2019ll be restricted by their specific terms and conditions. You won\u2019t have the freedom that comes with operating your own website. After all, to Amazon, you are a third-party seller and easily replaceable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon is a one-size-fits-all platform, and may not offer the right promotional, marketing, integrations, or user experiences your brand needs. While setting up may be easy, maintaining control and ownership on Amazon\u2019s terms as your business grows will be difficult, if not impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Loss of data<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you\u2019ll be reaching a truly vast customer segment on Amazon, all of these people are actually Amazon\u2019s clients, not yours. You won\u2019t have access to insightful data about your customers nor be able to market directly to them. That makes it hard to build your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you won\u2019t have access to buyer\u2019s emails, and Amazon\u2019s product screening, product information, and customer communication restrictions limit your ability to strategically build customer value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Loss of branding<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For manufacturers, once you load your products into the marketplace, you will lose control of your brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any other seller of your product can change your product image or description. If you currently sell through distributors that are selling on Amazon Business this will be a continuing problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not a manufacturer, Amazon is notorious for gathering data to determine the best selling products and then selling these products directly &#8211; in competition to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Marketplace fees<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business is a pay-to-play channel. You will incur monthly subscription fees, referral fees, and commissions. Amazon <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lab916.com\/10-changes-amazon-referral-fba-fees-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discontinued tiered referral fees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for business transactions, meaning there\u2019s now even less incentive to offer products at bulk prices. This is certainly not for every business, especially if you operate on low margins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Amazon\u2019s fee structure is complex and ranges from product to product and category to category, do your homework and crunch your numbers before launching an Amazon store. As an alternative, you can create your own B2B eCommerce website and allow customers to buy from your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Not for everyone<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before selling your products on Amazon Business, you must know your numbers. As a rule of thumb, Amazon is not well suited for commodity, bulky, or low-margin products. Their FBA services favor smaller products, pushing out many businesses with bulky items or requiring them to ship direct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s more, Amazon\u2019s categories are not created equally. For example, automotive is one of the biggest markets and raw materials is one of the smallest. You need to know buyers are looking for what you sell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help crunch the numbers, Amazon offers a handy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sell.amazon.com\/pricing.html?ref_=sdus_soa_priov_n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sales margin calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their pricing page.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Competition<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are countless merchants on Amazon Business so you might end up facing steep competition. Besides, selling on Amazon promotes product comparisons, which may not be ideal for every business. It\u2019s difficult to differentiate on customer\/product experience, service, or brand when all content is confined to pre-formatted product pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selling on Amazon might be counterproductive for some businesses. You risk commoditizing your brand as any difference between you, your competition, and Amazon itself is eroded. In addition, Amazon <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/amazon-scooped-up-data-from-its-own-sellers-to-launch-competing-products-11587650015?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">came under fire recently<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for gathering and using sales data to further their own strategic objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Little flexibility<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon offers some level of customization when it comes to access roles, pricing, shipping, and payment options. This, however, might not be enough for all B2B sellers. Ultimately, selling on Amazon means you operate in the direction of Amazon. This gives you and your customers a highly structured experience, not an immersive one. Forward-thinking brands that want to establish and maintain a following, scale their business across B2C, D2C, B2B, B2B2B, or a combination or selling are better off building their own eCommerce presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Business vs Company B2B Site: Striking the Balance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you want to create your own B2B eCommerce store or even build a multi-vendor marketplace of your own, you can\u2019t ignore Amazon Business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As more and more manufacturers, distributors, and retailers move online and utilize B2B eCommerce technologies, Amazon Business will remain a viable channel. Here are three different ways of using Amazon Business to help augment your eCommerce efforts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Amazon Business as a trial for B2B eCommerce sales to save time and money in the short term;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporate Amazon Business as part of your long-term brand building strategy;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create your own dedicated eCommerce site and use Amazon Business as a supplemental sales channel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatives to Amazon Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business sellers, particularly manufacturers, distributors, and retailers should consider long-term goals when crafting their digital strategy. Whether or not you use Amazon Business as a selling channel, you should explore the B2B eCommerce vendors, platforms, and options available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>B2C eCommerce with B2B add-ons<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No business is alike. The back-end needs and customer-facing features a specific business needs are unique. Whether it\u2019s corporate account structures, multiple product catalogs, tiered pricing structures, payment terms, and ordering workflows, business sellers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/blog\/b2c-vs-b2b-ecommerce-6-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have many more requirements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than traditional B2C systems offer. The biggest disadvantage of B2B-optioned B2C solutions is that they aren\u2019t purpose-built for B2B. With these solutions, you generally end up spending time and money on workarounds, extensions, or even changing platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Purpose-built B2B eCommerce Platform<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A purpose-built B2B eCommerce solution will offer you much more than a B2B plugin for Shopify or an Amazon Business account. Since B2B catalogs, pricing, ordering, and shopping experiences are much more nuanced and complicated, your platform should offer personalized portals with quick-order forms, custom pricing, and pre-negotiated quotes. The same goes for payment preferences, which can include unique terms and invoicing requirements.
