New Channels

Growth That Does Not Depend on One Marketplace

Walmart and WFS, international Amazon marketplaces, Vendor Central and Amazon Business — launched properly, then operated with the same rigor as your core account.

Marketplace Expansion

Expansion fails on operations far more often than on demand. A Walmart listing suppressed by a GTIN mismatch, a UK launch stalled on VAT registration, a Vendor Central account bleeding margin through chargebacks nobody disputes — none of these are strategy problems, and every one of them will quietly cap a channel that would otherwise work. We treat a new marketplace as a full operational build rather than a catalog copy.

Where We Expand You

  • Walmart Marketplace and WFS: catalog setup, item spec compliance, GTIN and UPC troubleshooting, Walmart Connect advertising, and sales diagnostics when performance drops without an obvious cause.

  • International Amazon marketplaces across the UK, EU, Canada, Mexico and Australia, covering account setup, VAT and compliance groundwork, localized listings and market-specific campaign builds.

  • Vendor Central and hybrid 1P/3P strategy, including purchase order management, chargeback disputes, cost negotiation support and the analytics needed to argue your case with a vendor manager.

  • Amazon Business and B2B: quantity discount tiers, business pricing, case pack enrollment, and identifying the ASINs where institutional demand already shows up in your search terms.

  • Channel economics modeled before launch on landed contribution margin, not on the size of the addressable market.

  • Ongoing operation of the new channel by the same pod running your core account, keeping strategy and inventory decisions in one place.

How It Runs

How the Engagement Runs

Four stages, each with an owner and an output you can hold us to.

  • 01

    Assess

    Demand, competitive density, fee structure, logistics cost and compliance burden modeled per marketplace, ending in a ranked recommendation that sometimes says do not expand.

  • 02

    Build

    Account setup, catalog creation, compliance and logistics groundwork finished before a single listing goes live.

  • 03

    Launch

    Listings live and advertising running, monitored daily through the window when problems are cheapest to fix.

  • 04

    Operate

    The channel joins your reporting cadence with its own targets instead of disappearing into an Amazon US average.

Built For

Who This Is Built For

  • Brands at or near ceiling on Amazon US looking for the next incremental channel.

  • Sellers already live on Walmart or international marketplaces where the channel has never performed and nobody has diagnosed why.

  • Brands weighing a move into Vendor Central, or already in one and unsure whether it is profitable.

Proof

Operating experience

Diagnostics run in-house

We have traced a Walmart revenue decline to a GTIN mismatch and resolved it, and run the B2B analysis that found institutional demand sitting unclaimed in a client's search term report.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked First

  • Category and price point decide that far more than brand size does. Walmart converts differently, rewards different price positioning and carries real overhead through WFS. We model it before recommending it, and we regularly advise brands against it.

  • Not automatically. A 1P invitation is flattering and frequently margin-destructive once chargebacks, co-op fees and the loss of price control are modeled. We will build that model with you before you answer.

  • Typically 60 to 120 days from decision to live, with VAT registration and compliance documentation on the critical path rather than anything on the Amazon side.
