Testimonial from French Seller Cinereplicas – Generate a maximum of sales with a minimum of effort

 

Cinereplicas, a French company, was created in 2005 and has fewer than 10 employees. They specialize in presents and collectable items and when they started selling on Amazon in 2007 they were able to double their sales thanks, they say in part, to Amazon. In 2008 they signed up for the Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) programme, the first French merchant to do so.

The managing director, Fabrice Bensoussan explains that the FBA programme is well conceived and very clear; Amazon provided a good explanation about how it worked. The programme is easy to use and, since being an FBA seller, Cinereplicas has been able to increase their turnover by 50 percent. 

Cinereplicas currently works with eight sales channels and intends to use Multi-Channel Fulfilment going forward, thus being able to scale back its logistic activity.

Mr. Bensoussan summed up the benefits of FBA in one sentence, ‘Generate a maximum of sales with a minimum of effort'.

Plan for a Successful Festive Season with Fulfilment by Amazon

Good timing can make your end-of-year sales, and we want our merchants to have their best festive season ever!  FBA merchants are encouraged to ship their inventory to Amazon early to take advantage of the peak shopping days.

To take advantage of the last order date for free standard shipping Inventory (this day typically falls around the middle of December--customers will place many last minute orders on this date) inventory should ideally be received by Dec. 12.

It is also important to stay IN STOCK during this busy end-of-year period.  We also strongly urge you to comply with the best practices, some of which are set out below for a smooth festive selling season:

• Do not send hazardous materials or unsuitable items
• Prep your shipment carefully: make sure all items and shipments are labeled appropriately
• Make sure that quantity and items physically sent in a shipment are same as those communicated while creating the shipment
• LTL/FT shipments: make sure your carrier has secured a dock appointment
• Be prepared to send items to different fulfilment centres

Remember with FBA:

• We will ship most items until very shortly before Christmas.
• We could help handle your larger volumes during this key peak period.
• Many late purchasing customers trust Amazon to deliver by Christmas Eve and will therefore place a last minute order.
