A free Amazon Repricer tool is provided by amazon for the sellers who sell on amazon platform. But let me tell you with free stuff there are always limitations. Limitations which holds your margins from growing. Most modern day Amazon Repricers like BoxNsights employ advanced algorithm and provide high configurability that help the sellers grow their sales and margins while retaining the Buy Box.

 

Why their is a need to go for Modern Amazon Repricer if free Amazon repricer is present??

Free Amazon Repricer is a race to bottom game. Modern Day Amazon Repricer is race to win in each possible way. Win in each possible way means not racing the prices to bottom but setting the right price to gain buy box. Once Buy Box is achieved it never settles, it keeps on looking for opportunities to increase the margins wherever possible.

Increasing Margins:

• Free Amazon repricer provides only two options, either to compete with Buy Box competitor or with the lowest competitor.
• Targeting the lowest may work for new sellers but as you get established, targeting the lowest would mean taking the hit on margin and competing with sellers who would not even win Buy Box (due to rating or other factors)
• Real good option is to target Buy Box, but here if you happen to win Buy Box you stay at the lower price for ever having a huge hit on the margin
  • For example if your price for a product is Rs 1000, if competitor reduces to Rs 950, free Amazon repricer will help you get to say Rs 949 (if you have set a rule to be below Buy Box by Rs 1)
  • Now you are in Buy Box but if your competitor goes out of stock or increases price to Rs 1100, then your price will still be stuck at Rs 949 which is a significant hit on margins
  • Modern day Amazon repricers on the other hand will follow the competitor and change the price to Rs 1099 which while retaining the Buy Box increases the margins significantly
  • And all this is done in realtime basis

Calculation of Minimum Price

• Most sellers know about the various overheads like taxes, amazon commision, collection fee, shipping charge, packing charge, etc that are incurred while selling on Amazon but they dont accurately account for the same as the the calculation to get exact value is complex.
• If overheads accounted are more than the actuals then this can lead to reduction in sales as you do not reduce the price enough to capture Buy Box even when you can.
• On the other hand if overheads accounted is less than actuals then you in fact incur losses. Look at it this way, if you are selling even 10% of your products on loss, this could lead to overall loss of around 15-20% as these products sell higher. This directly reduces your margin by 15-20%.
• You would be better off not selling these product as you could have made more profits.
• Modern day Amazon repricers like BoxNsights accurately account for overheads and never allows any product to be sold at loss (unless of course you want to get rid of the deadstock).
• The application thus ensures you Grow and Grow Profitably …

Highly Configurable

• Free Amazon repricer provides limited configurations.

• Modern day Amazon repricers on the other hand provide a highly configurable system which you can tune to implement any kind of Pricing Strategy that suits your business.

• The application also provides loads of pricing data at your fingertips which helps in analyzing the pricing strategy in place and continuously evolve the same based on changing competitive environment
