Liquid Death’s Post

Strategy at its best!

I'm not apologizing for spending the last month posting and commenting about the massacre perpetrated on my neighbors 50km (30mi) away from where I live... I'm apologizing for the FIRST WORK POST in a month! When you have a product in Amazon that has a ranking of XXX in its general category, but it is the best ranking among ALL other DIRECT competitors, how do you advance further in BSR besides just selling velocity? Example: Diaper Caddy in general "Baby" category Thoughts? #amazon #amazonads #amazonppc #amazonadvertising #amazonfba

Amazon is often late to the enforcement party, but once they arrive...they make a splash. Why is that? Sellers will often get emails from Amazon going back months indicating that they are in violation of Amazon's variation policy. What happens next? Crickets. And so the seller thinks they're okay. Until suddenly they aren't. We've seen a wave of suspensions for ASIN variation misuse recently, which is something they've rarely enforced in the past. So why do they come down so hard so suddenly? An interesting theory I heard recently comes down to media or press queries, as in, often Amazon doesn't know how broad a problem is until they hear there will be an upcoming story about it. I was recently speaking to a reporter who was interested in the "variations misuse/ abuse" topic, who mentioned as a side note that Amazon often starts cracking down on something once they anticipate a story that undermines marketplace credibility. A reporter may hear that there's been a lot of listing abuse or a lack of meaningful policy enforcement, start poking around, and after that call to the company (asking them to comment for the story they've mostly written), we see sudden interest. We just wish the motivation was internal not external, and based on an interest in regulating marketplace seller behavior. #Amazon #AmazonSellers

Hey guys I am working with Amazon to get you deals on products shop and vote on the same through the link below

What you tolerate is a reflection of your standards, not someone else’s. We like to release ourselves from responsibility when we aren’t the ones taking the action, but the choice still lies with us. As it turns out, what we do and what we tolerate can be equally damning. #ChopChop Check out "Surrender the Outcome" on Amazon and our latest blog post at https://lnkd.in/g8kexnnB

When was the last time you saw a commercial for period products with actual blood? Can't remember? It is high time for a change. These sort of actions show right to point how we see menstruation. Whether we see it as something that should be hidden or not. If it should be hidden, then why? How we see menstruation has a direct influence on those who menstruate. It says that it should not be spoken about, it should be shamed, it is dare I say 'dirty' (which is btw the most often used word for people to describe it). All of that combined has a hidden yet strong influence on the person's wellbeing. Small action. Big impact. #menstruation #news #menstrualhealth #women #equality

🔥🔥🔥 Please watch this HORRIFIC and eye-opening expose about Amazon. I was DISGUSTED. It’s an AMAZING 48-minute documentary showing Amazon's hold on their suppliers, and how they OWN the sellers on their marketplace - and BULLY and THREATEN them to the point of STEALING from them. Arrrgghhhhhh!!!! 😡 I learned a LOT from this, one. I'm sure you will, too. And, if you're an Amazon insider reading this, I BEG YOU to think hard about what you are doing to these people. You might think you are a good person working for a good company...but this is NOT "goodness" in any form. Let's DO THE RIGHT THING (sleeping at night will be easier). One of the guys in this video is a toy maker in Texas (Mike Hart). I’ve bought his products for my son, Gavin (the toy is called “Brain Flakes”...buy some!!!) Mike explains that by bullying him, Amazon now represents 95% of his total business, and without them, he’d need to close down. Worse, Amazon MAKES HIM use their other services (trucking, warehousing, fulfillment, returns, advertising, etc) or they essentially push him off the marketplace and would bankrupt him by just not showing his products to anyone until he pays their toll and does what they want. Finally, Amazon even looks at the "best sellers" in each product category and they then LITERALLY copy the products EXACTLY and even steal the EXACT SAME NAME for their own "Amazon Basics" brand. This diverts sales away from Amazon sellers (i.e. from Amazon's own CUSTOMERS, the sellers) and gives those sales to the Amazon Basics division, thus bankrupting the seller. Anyway, get the popcorn out tonight and stream this to your big-screen TV. SHARE THIS DOCUMENTARY. This is a story EVERYONE should understand and know. Again, SHARE IT. It’s shocking stuff to watch. See: https://lnkd.in/eehNSAxD Tim at AscendTMS (TheFreeTMS.com) By InMotion Global, Inc. P.S. Thanks to Timothy Dooner and the FreightWaves team for bringing this to our attention. While I use Amazon (A LOT, lol), and I LOVE their overall service offering, it should NOT be at the expense of them closing down small businesses for their own GREED and POWER. Otherwise, in 20 years the entire world will have just ONE mega-corporation (Amazon) selling EVERYTHING - but at monopolistic prices and terms that they dictate. 😡🤬

If Amazon didn't have monopoly power over these sellers, do you think they would choose to stay in a relationship that is characterized by bullying, fear and panic?

Amazon, you keep banning a video on our Amazon store showing 0.2 seconds of fake period blood on our applicator, yet allow cut throats and ripped open faces... try explaining that to your daughters with a straight face. About time for a policy change? #periodtaboo #taboo #period #menstrualpolicy
