Having an exclusive product on Amazon has caused me trouble since day one. You can slap your own brand name on it, you can have killer marketing copy, but somebody can always slip in there and hijack your product with a lower price.

It has made me think, what are some tips that can keep your product, YOUR product.

  • Trademark your brand name in your product: This will give you some legal right-of-way and may even scare competition off in the first place from even trying to list under your product.
  • Have strong branding associated with your product: website, the works.
  • Custom engraving and packaging on the product. Make sure to have these in your photos. If somebody doesn't receive what was described, they may write a bad review of that seller.
  • See if factory offers different colour as to what is the norm for low or no fee.
  • Make it different: See if your factory has anything interesting of value kicking around that they can throw in the box for cheap. Nobody else can sell and get proper reviews without that 'free gift'.
I don't know how proven these are to work, but it is such a nasty problem that something has to be done before it even happens.

Hope some of these tips help, and if anybody has any others, FEEL FREE TO ADD!
