Investing in Brand Protection in an Age Ruled by Amazon
Faster, more efficient, less costly; the entire retail landscape has changed for brand managers now that Amazon.com secures the vast majority of retail sales in the United States.
In an age ruled by Amazon, brand managers must take special consideration of the current ecommerce landscape to better control online sales and achieve success. Essentially, protecting your brand value now requires sophisticated knowledge of Amazon and how it works.
To protect against brand erosion in an Amazon dominant landscape, a brand manager must build specific safeguards directly into their intellectual property rights, contracts, authorization agreements, distribution agreements, map pricing agreements, and gray market controls. This means brands must make an investment to scale their brand protection program the right way in order to grow business in the current online retail climate. If executed well, your brand’s return on investment (ROI) for brand protection should absolutely result in increased profits, simply because you will immediately begin to recoup all of your product sales from unauthorized sellers.
