Every brand has a different Amazon strategy. Some lean in and many still haven’t figured it out and some are completely opposed to the channel.
It’s helpful to know if a brand has a dominant seller or someone who achieves the majority of the sales. You can often figure out if this is the brand selling directly.
SmartScout has a column that shows this. Amazon is the dominant seller on a few brands and some are clearly selling their own brand like Yeti and Anker.
If you offer Amazon services, you may look directly for these types of brands. If you sell branded products, you might try and avoid these. Here’s a filter that does just that!
Bundling is a great way to make sure that you don’t lose customers between transactions. If they’re going to buy both products anyway, why not sell them both at once to make sure that they get them from you? The trick is, you have to know what products to bundle together.
Enter, the SmartScout Traffic Graph.
With our Traffic Graph tool, you can enter either an ASIN or keywords to find products that you either sell or would like to start selling. From there, you can lock onto a top-performing ASIN by looking for the gold ring around it’s image. Once there, just follow the arrows that lead away from that product. Those mean that someone bought the product the arrow starts at, then went to purchase the one it ends at.
These are excellent opportunities for bundling, as you already know that Amazon’s Frequently Bought Together section has pushed people toward the same transaction before. It’s a tried-and-true path to making smart, successful bundles.
As a wholesaler, you don’t want to build a relationship with a brand that only succeeds for a short while, or one that is on it’s way out. You want to find brands that are going somewhere quick.
With SmartScout, understanding a brand’s growth is easier than ever.
Simply open the Brands tab and navigate to the 1 month and 12 month growth columns. Here you can see the percent growth a brand has experienced over these timeframes based on reviews (you may need to click on the Columns button and select these headers if they are not appearing in your data view).

Many wholesale and arbitrage focused sellers will come across large catalogs of products. This could be several thousand. It’s nearly impossible to comb these over one by one. Even more impossible if you have to do this regularly.
What if there was a tool that did this for you? At scale? With all the data points you could want?
Enter UPC Scanner.

Whether it’s UPC, EAN or ASIN lists that you’re matching. You can copy and paste or drag and drop your file into SmartScout. This works for CSV of Excel files.
Give your scan a name and then let SmartScout do its work. If you don’t enter a Selling price that you want to sell it at, then you can default let it use the Buy Box price.
The results page can be filters and exported so you have your top products.
There’s several column we recommend you use here:

SmartScout was founded by BuyBoxer, one of the largest Amazon third party sellers in the nation. It was this UPC scanner that made the large catalog not only possible, but easy.
Amazon is a far-reaching online store, with marketplaces all across the globe. While people from anywhere can sell on just about any marketplace, it is useful to focus your search in a specific region if you’re trying to get specific results.
That’s why SmartScout offers data on several Amazon marketplaces.
These include Amazon UK, Amazon Italy, Amazon Germany, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, Amazon Mexico, Amazon India, Amazon Spain, and Amazon U.S.
Best of all, you can switch between marketplaces freely and as much as you’d like. All you have to do is click on the flag icon in the top left corner and select your marketplace.
