The planets put on a show last week. But will the stars align for you and your business on Amazon? Only if you sell Amazon evergreen products with price automation. Read on for the best 2025 Amazon selling strategies for high-demand Amazon products, so that they don’t just pop up in the ether and then fizzle out like a shooting star.
Hoping to harness some of that positive energy from the 7-planet parade with some new listings? No point listing just anything. Focus on high-demand Amazon products, great USPs, and the best Amazon pricing tools. Here’s why and how to sell Amazon evergreen products.
1. Choosing Evergreen Products for Long-Term Success
Earlier in the year, we conducted a Facebook survey of the main pain points for new FBA sellers. A recurring theme for our respondents was product research. More specifically, it was the need to find products with consistent year-round demand (a.k.a. Amazon evergreen items).
Why evergreen? For long-term profits. The Harris Poll says 43% of Americans have stopped buying from companies with shifting policies. Also, more than a third are ‘opting out’ of the economy altogether. They no longer want to contribute to consumer spending and the GDP.
Then there’s the stability. Petitions and boycotts against major retailers are under way. Meanwhile, Amazon is trying to offset a possible outflux of shoppers with Buy with Prime. So, investing in Amazon evergreen items may be the safest bet for a stable revenue year-round.
Finally, there’s consistency. Sales fluctuations reflect poorly on your business, and high-demand Amazon products can help balance them out. Our respondents will happily concur. So, take a leaf from their book and make sure that when you source your Amazon evergreen items, you:
- Look for items with a steady search volume on Amazon and Google Trends.
- Analyze historical sales data using Amazon tools like Profit Bandit.
- Avoid fads (e.g., jade rollers, yo-yos) or oversaturated niches (e.g., cheap activewear).
- Prioritize necessities over trends (e.g., home essentials, pet supplies, health products).
- Source authentic items that won’t cause policy violations.
|Pro Tip: Opt for products with moderate competition but a potential for high customer retention. You can achieve and monitor this and other goals – e.g., cross-selling, engagement- with Advanced Audience Segmentation, as described below.|
2. Differentiation: How to Stand Out in a Crowded Marketplace
On Amazon, it’s essential to stand out. So, focus on solving customer pain points, as expressed in reviews or on the socials. Be sure to keep these pain points in mind as you get going, because launching without an optimized listing can waste that valuable initial boost from Amazon.
From our survey, we can tell you that most sellers underestimate the capital they need to launch and stay afloat. They hit a wall and then can’t stay competitive. There’s no minimum capital requirement. But it’s best to have at least a 4-figure sum at your disposal at all times.
Our recent post on Amazon FBM vs. FBA pricing differences can clarify some of the costs associated with selling on Amazon. Some are unpredictable and long-lived, like advertising and PPC campaign managing costs. Others are due to poor inventory management and stockouts.
Tools like BuyBoxBuddy can help solve inventory blind spots, reduce storage costs, and make your offer more competitive. Then there are also mentors and experienced Amazon VAs who can help you keep costs down. Some of the ways you can differentiate your product right away are:
- Quality Improvements. Address durability or performance issues in competitor products.
- Bundling. Offer value-added bundles (e.g., accessories and toolsets instead of single items).
- Unique Branding. High-quality images, use case videos, compelling copy, and premium packaging.
- Customization. Offer personalized options or multiple color choices.
|Example: If customers complain about weak handles on a competitor’s tote bag, add value and offer reinforced stitching, highlighting this improved design in your title, bullets, photos, and videos.|
3. Smart Pricing Strategies to Win the Buy Box
Pricing plays a major role in Amazon’s algorithm. It directly impacts Buy Box wins, conversions, and profitability. Plenty of people claim to have smart pricing strategies for Amazon sellers, but it’s mostly down to how fast your repricer can lower or raise your price.
Amazon product pricing automation can help with larger inventories. But there’s only so much a repricer can do when it’s not fast enough or Buy Box-friendly. To make the most of your repricer, take note of these 4 best practices for pricing on Amazon:
- Use Dynamic Pricing. Adjust prices based on competitor movements and demand.
- Stay profitable. Avoid pricing too low and damaging margins.
- Employ Price Psychology. Prices ending in .99 or .95 can improve conversion rates.
- Monitor Amazon Fee Changes. Factor in FBA fees, referral fees, and storage costs.
BuyBoxBuddy can take the guesswork out of repricing. This dynamic repricer monitors competitor prices around the clock, tweaking them in real-time so that you stay competitive. And as soon as you win the Buy Box, it works to keep it and profit the most off of it.
