???? LAB WHERE BIG CHINESE AMAZON SELLERS are MADE

Dave Bryant of Ecomcrew recently had the opportunity to peak inside China South City and peel back the lab where big Chinese Amazon sellers are minted.

China South City in Shenzhen, often called the "Mecca" of Chinese Amazon sellers, is a hub where many of China's largest e-commerce sellers operate. It’s often likened to the "Wuhan Lab" of Amazon tactics due to its role in shaping both white hat and black hat strategies.

1. The Amazon Seller Ecosystem

• Scale & Scope: Home to thousands of sellers, including giants like AUKEY and Anker, as well as smaller operations. The building also offers affordable access to every service an Amazon seller might need—logistics, product photography, packaging, and more.
• Networking & Collaboration: Sellers operate in close proximity, fostering a mastermind environment for knowledge-sharing and strategy development.

2. Black Hat Tactics

• Review Manipulation: Many sellers historically engaged in fraudulent activities like buying fake reviews to boost rankings, leading to Amazon suspensions in 2021/2022. Some sellers lost entire businesses overnight.
• Duty Evasion: Sellers commonly under-declare the value of goods or use falsified HS codes to bypass hefty U.S. tariffs. Enforcement is limited, allowing these practices to persist with minimal consequences.

3. Government Support

• The Chinese government actively subsidizes areas like China South City, recognizing the economic benefits of nurturing e-commerce exports. This strategic clustering allows sellers to thrive by sharing tactics and resources.

China South City offers both inspiration and caution, showcasing the intense work ethic, resourcefulness, and strategic prowess of Chinese sellers while highlighting the importance of ethical practices and adaptability in e-commerce.

?? HOW to USE SOUND to SELL MORE on AMAZON

Did you know customers are willing to pay more for products as long as they get to hear what they SOUND like first?

The Swiss cough-drop maker Ricola faced a major problem as it tried to expand internationally.

Almost nobody in America knew the brand existed.

Halls and Vicks dominated the market, accounting for ~67% of all US cough-drop sales in 1987.

Ricola, which entered the US in the mid-1980s after decades of crafting herb-based lozenges in the Alps, was a non-player.

So Ricola brought in a yodeler. And an alphorn player.

And in a famous 1994 commercial, they stood in the shadow of the Matterhorn and belted out a sound that echoed through the mountains.

RI-CO-LAAAAA!

Soon, the brand’s jingle, or what’s called a sonic logo, was everywhere.

Coca-Cola launched the images above with the tagline: "Try not to hear this"

"The images create the effect of synesthesia: When two senses cross in the brain at once - sight and sound."

Here is an example of how to do it for your e-com products:
