(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nModern Retail documented three startups seeing accelerated Amazon sales during a challenging economic year, suggesting the platform is concentrating buyer traffic from DTC.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you are pure DTC and have not listed on Amazon, do not wait for the next recession signal. Open a seller account, upload your top 5 SKUs, and spend $2,000 on A9 ads in your category. Measure your ACOS (advertising cost of sales) against your DTC CAC. If Amazon ACOS is lower than DTC CAC, shift 20% of your media spend from Facebook/Google to Amazon ads. The platform is now where price-conscious buyers go first. Your organic DTC traffic is already leaking there anyway.\nWhat that means for you: Marketplace surge during hard times is not surprising — people want convenience and trust. What is worth noting is that startups are seeing it as a growth channel, not a last resort. The implication: if you are not on Amazon, you are leaving money on the table every month, especially when consumer confidence tightens.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/marketplace-briefing-whats-driving-a-surge-in-amazon-sales-for-3-startups/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
