best practices for selling the same products/brands

GreenBottom18 · #1 01-22-2019

i know this is a rather common question, and the popularly accepted rule of thumb is 20:1 (new/same), however can anyone clarify whether or not all of the scenarios below fall under the (1) side of that ratio or would they be overlooked... or possibly each only count for say, .5 point?

**all questions below regard popular brands, that have preexisting amazon competition.**

1.) different products from the same brands (never associated with the previous account)?

2.) different asin/gtins of the same products? i.e. bundling a pack of 2 reed fragr acc nce diffusers, rather that the idividual units offered on the previous account

3.) products that were place into the inventory of the banned account, but never at any point had didicated inventory, therefore, never selling any units

I'm a fan of products never associated with the previous account.

As deeply as I'd love to immediately climb aboard, I have $30k+ in inventory that I practically can't even give away on other platforms, $4.36 remaining in my emergency fund, and I'm not certain I can pull rent this month. I need to be as creative as this format allows, haha.

Outside of that, I feel you.

The rough ratio is 20 new products for every 1 previously sold product

Completely avoid relisting products on pages that you previously created before on other accounts, that seems to have a lot of weight in linking accounts

copy that, thank you. confirming 'product' is the key word here, not 'ASIN,' correct? if new pages and asins are created fresh, and justified by bundling, risk is not reduced at all?
