As a faithful reader of our blog \u2014 for which we\u2019re always grateful \u2014 you\u2019re already well aware of the tips<\/a> and tricks<\/a> you can use to further your success on your Amazon business. But using all tips\u00a0from one source isn\u2019t always the best idea, as putting all your eggs in one basket is too much of a risk. Instead, and especially when it comes to your Amazon presence, picking up tips from as many different sources is a sound business practice. Today, we\u2019re going to explore some offline tips for Amazon sellers, what brick-and-mortar stores have going for them, and how you can translate that to Amazon.<\/h4>\n

What gives online retailers an \u201ceasy\u201d way out is they have the protection of a glass screen: if they want to say something (mean and nasty) or nothing at all (ignoring), they have the luxury of dong that. Physical stores don\u2019t, and have had to learn how to address their customers’ requests.<\/p>\n

And For Amazon?<\/h3>\n

Many Amazon retailers sell in marketplaces where they don\u2019t speak the language, creating a barrier of understanding between them and their customers. If your customer has a complaint or issue, what steps are you going to take?<\/p>\n

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is one option for sellers, as they\u2019ll be able to offer customer support to your buyers 24\/7<\/a>, and in the language they speak. However, if FBA isn’t an option, sellers should have a plan in place to deal with customers who speak a different language.<\/p>\n

Put the Four P\u2019s in Place<\/h2>\n

This isn\u2019t a new thing, of considering the 4 P\u2019s in business, but it sure is an oft-ignored one. It\u2019s also one of the quickest ways of cutting into the fifth P, profit. Let\u2019s take a look at what they are:<\/p>\n
