Assistance Needed for Obtaining Brand Approval

Dear Amazon Community,

I am reaching out to seek your assistance as a new Amazon global seller. I have successfully obtained all the necessary documents, including an LLC, sales tax permit, and a USA address. However, I am currently facing difficulties in getting approval from brands to list their products.

Despite my efforts to contact these brands, I have not received any responses to my messages requesting their approval. I am at a standstill and unsure of what steps to take next.

Could anyone kindly guide me on where I might be going wrong or provide advice on how to successfully obtain brand approvals? Your insights and experiences would be immensely valuable to me.

Thank you in advance for your help and support.

Best regards,

farhan

There are THOUSANDS of brands that will not respond and simply do NOT want their items sold on Amazon even if they do.

I'm going to guess that you want to sell MAJOR brands so that you can jump in and play with the "BIG BOYS" right?

Forget about them. There is already too much competition and no money to be made that way.

As to the sourcing I go back 20+ years for my first products and I ended up with them because I could not find supplies for one of my hobbies (since gone dormant).

I looked around and found one of my old packages and called up the company. Found out they DID/DO sell wholesale and only required something like $500 initial order and a tax exempt number.

Filed with the state for maybe $10 and put an order on plastic for the $500+. Took about six months to pay off the card balance.

Kept adding suppliers and it became easier since they all ask for trade references and I had ONE. Found another small company that didn't have a large footprint and they let me in and again a small opening order.

NOW with TWO references it got easier for larger companies in the same or similar industries -- competitors of company #1 or #2 since competitors LOVE to compete for your business!

Find local or regional businesses looking to expand distribution, new companies just starting out ( I have had a few that I bought from and they failed.)

Something that you know about or WANT to know about that doesn't have 10,000 offers on Amazon.

The possibilities are endless but it is VERY hard if you start with the 'big boys' in any industry. Those guys want some large orders. I had one manufacturer of products that I was sourcing from hobby supplier #1 but I wanted to go direct to save about 20%. They wanted $5,000 minimum and a pallet full of two or three SKUs as a starter. Did NOT happen back then. Now, I would think about doing it.
