Sell More on Amazon: How 15,000 Sellers Drive Half of Amazon’s 3P GMV

Driving Sales on Amazon: Revealing the Impact of Annual Orders on Seller Diversity and Success.

Did you know that out of the millions of sellers on Amazon, only a small fraction of them are responsible for driving a significant portion of the marketplace’s sales? According to research conducted by Marketplace Pulse, approximately 15,000 sellers in the United States alone received more than 100,000 orders in 2022, contributing to almost half of Amazon’s total sales.

The statistics further reveal that a total of 30,000 sellers achieved 50,000 or more orders during the same period, encompassing sellers who obtained at least 100,000 orders. It is important to note that these numbers do not include sellers from Amazon’s international marketplaces.

The Influence of Top Sellers on Amazon

Many of these top-selling sellers have been operating on the Amazon platform for five years or longer. Despite facing mounting competition, rising fees, and various challenges, these sellers have demonstrated resilience and perseverance. They have successfully built thriving businesses within the chaotic environment of Amazon’s marketplace.

Understanding the Power-Law Distribution

While millions of sellers participate in the Amazon marketplace, it adheres to a power-law distribution, where a small percentage of top sellers drive the majority of sales. This distribution pattern is the reason why approximately 240,000 sellers managed to secure a minimum of 1,000 orders. However, only 15,000 sellers achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing the 100,000 order threshold. Although this group may seem small in number, their collective impact accounts for nearly half of Amazon’s sales in the U.S., totaling over a billion orders in 2022.

Make Smarter Decisions With Better Data Visibility

Big Data, Not Just For Big Businesses

Big businesses aren’t the only ones making data-driven decisions.

With the advent of open APIs and SaaS platforms such as ZonMaster, Amazon merchants are now gaining access to information only dreamed about in years past.

In this post, we’ll look at how ZonMaster helps you to make more data-driven decisions. ZonMaster is the market leader in giving you access and visibility to your sales data.

Match Reviews and Orders

Consumers trust the Amazon marketplace for a number of reasons. Most notably, they count on the collective genius found within millions of unbiased product reviews. Unlike traditional offline shopping that relies on smooth sales tactics and the shopper’s “gut feeling,” Amazon.com, Inc. limits the buyer’s risk by aggregating word-of-mouth referrals (or critiques) for every imaginable item.

In a similar way, merchants can also gain valuable insight from product review data. Through our interaction with our users, we consistently find that sellers use product reviews for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Determining which products to source
  • Working on SEO for private-label product(s)
  • Monitoring the popularity of items in inventory
  • Improving product quality
  • Helping suppliers improve
  • Deciding when to drop an item

Although extremely useful to Amazon merchants, product review data has historically been challenging to synthesize. While shoppers often enjoy perusing dozens of reviews, sellers aren’t interested in manually tracking hundreds or thousands of reviews for each SKU.

ZonMaster simplifies the analysis of product reviews. We do the number crunching for you. You’ll be able to see important information, such as average review rating, number of recent positive and negative reviews and much more. Sign up today and get unlimited ASIN’s matched (well, all the ASIN’s you’re selling!). We don’t like restrictions.

[Updates] Sales Breakdown By Channel

Just a quickie here.

We’ve added a pie chart (the tastiest of all the charts!) to your orders overview page that shows you which channels (i.e. Amazon site) your orders came from.

For some of you selling only on Amazon.com this might not be so interesting, but those of you with a more global (or international) view you might find some surprising numbers here!

sales-by-channelMultiple Markets

Did you know that if you use FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) Amazon will AUTOMATICALLY list your product in markets in the same region? That means that items listed on Amazon.co.uk (for example) will automatically show up on Amazon.de (Germany), Amazon.it (Italy), Amazon.es (Spain) and Amazon.fr (France).

The seller who generated these stats knows it now, if they didn’t know it before. You can also see that France and Germany are actually placing more orders than the ‘home’ market of Amazon.co.uk (in this case).

Like we always say, you can never have too much information when it comes to your sales!

 

We hope you find these chart interesting, and there’s more to come!

See there charts in YOUR ZonMaster account here: https://www.zonmaster.com/orders

As usual, these charts are available to all our users, regardless of plan level.

[Updates] Order Timelines

I won’t lie. We’re pretty excited about this one.

On EVERY order we’ve added a timeline so you can see what happened and when. This includes

  • Purchase Time
  • Shipping Time
  • Delivery Time
  • Estimated Delivery Time
  • Email Sends
  • Review Dates
  • Seller Feedback Dates

No other Amazon Seller tool gives you this much info, so easily accessible.

Order Timeline

 

Hovering over the title of any event will give you the specific timestamp for that event.

What Are the Advantages?

When you know this much data it’s easy to see how effective your email campaigns are being.

Also, you can find out if your emails are going out at the right time.

In the order below we can see that the first email (which was a shipment notification) actually got sent after the item was delivered. This is because as Amazon speeds up their shipment processing you’ll need to update your email template send times.

Late Email

 

Knowledge is Power

Ok, we’re data nerds, but still we strongly believe that you can’t improve if you don’t know what’s going on. With our recently enhancements to show more stats and charts we think we’re giving you the tools you need to optimize your business. We hope you agree.

As always, these tools are available on ALL our plans.

This graph can be found on the orders listing page: https://www.zonmaster.com/orders

Broken down by month, and going back as far as we have orders for your stores, we show you how many orders, number of items shipped and reviews you received. It looks something like this:

[New Feature] Enhanced Sales Stats Graphs

We’re trying to expose more of the statistics we’re gathering to you, the seller. The latest one is more detailed sales stats for your items. Through a series of graphs we offer you greater insight into number of units shipped and returned, as well as reviews that items have received.

First, on the items listing page (https://www.zonmaster.com/items) we give you an overview of the last 30 days of sales, and how your items have performed. It’ll look a little like this:

sales_graph1

We show you levels only for items that sold in the last 30 days. If you hover over a bar you’ll see the details in the top left.

You can click on the bar and that will take you to the specific page for that item, where you’ll see another graph, breaking down that item’s sales by month for as long as we have data:

sales_graph2

Hovering over the data points displays the info in the bottom left, showing you units shipped, returns and reviews for that month.

Finally, if you click on one of THOSE data points you’ll be taken to that month’s info, broken down by day:

sales_graph3

Once again, hovering over a data point will show you that day’s stats: units shipped, returns and reviews. You can go backwards and forwards through the months by clicking on the ‘Previous Month’ and ‘Next Month’ links at the top of the graph.

We hope you find this information useful! Let us know.
