At Brand Focus Digital, an Amazon Brand Management agency, we hear this often:“ Why does Amazon agency pricing range from $1,500 to $20,000+ per month—and how do I know what’s worth it? ” The truth is, Amazon marketing is not one-size-fits-all. Pricing depends on the depth of services, the complexity of your business, and the results you expect. As your Amazon agency partner, we’re here to break down exactly what you’re investing in—and how to ensure it drives real growth. Why Work with an Amazon Management Agency? Choosing between in-house resources and an agency isn’t easy. But here’s what makes the agency model a better fit for many fast-scaling brands: Speed to Execution: We’ve built and refined systems that drive faster go-to-market timelines. Scalable Expertise: Our specialists bring Amazon-specific know-how from managing dozens—or even hundreds—of ASINs. Cost-Efficiency: Skip the cost of hiring, training, and managing a full team. We offer full-service support at a fraction of in-house overhead. For example, nearly 50% of our team being ex-Amazon (including our founder and VP, who led Vendor Management Programs at Amazon), we bring institutional knowledge that’s hard to replicate internally. Understanding Agency Pricing Structures: We offer multiple pricing models to fit your business stage, complexity, and goals:

Amazon frequently overcharges vendors on PO’s or shortage claims, for which we must provide extensive documentation, like BOL’s signed by shipper and receiver, invoices, pack lists, weights, images, etc. Often, Amazon only pays a portion of the shortage claim, if at all. We created an alliance that utilizes technology, created by former Amazon accounting experts, that reviews previous PO’s, shortage claims and reconciling invoices, investigating possible funds that were “left on the table”. The investigation includes a comprehensive, no-cost audit, that includes dollars recovered on your behalf. The program usually has a recovery rate of 95-100% once cost amounts are identified. The great news is that you are only charged if funds (as far back as 18 months) are successfully recovered, which is 30% of the amount paid back from Amazon. One client with sales of $2.3M in shipped COGS, had the audit reveal over $745K in invoice reconciliations. The entire process typically takes 4-6 weeks from beginning to receiving payment on recovered funds! Contact us today! We work with brands as full-service management or project based to meet your business needs!

A new full-funnel Amazon strategy, Amazon Marketing Cloud , is now available for all advertisers! And, only available through approved partners like Brand Focus Digital. Amazon is much more than a shopping site! Between Twitch, Prime Video and live sports, Amazon is engaging shoppers in many ways. The only way to truly unify all those touchpoints is Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC). AMC is an enhanced advertising data-gathering platform for current Advertising campaigns on Amazon. It allows advertisers to dig deeper into their marketing and audience data. For example, gain the ability to uncover critical marketing functions like consumer purchase journeys, overlap analyses, and new-to-brand acquisition. Advertisers who wait on AMC are going to miss out. First-party signals are the future. Amazon’s data is rich—but ultimately incomplete. To get a truly holistic understanding of your shoppers, you need to tie your first-party signals (in a privacy-safe way) to AMC. Adding 1P signals, according to our Amazon reps, is when you can “start to scale these audiences much further than what you're able to do if you just look at the signals that Amazon's providing.” Previously only available for DSP advertisers, AMC is now available for all advertising campaigns, and through an affiliated partner, like Brand Focus Digital. Brand Focus Digital has the access and expertise needed to gather, analyze and interpret the data for you. Contact us to get started immediately to enhance your advertising strategies today.
