3 Key Takeaways:

- To successfully scale on Amazon, you must have a team approach to it, not just a single Amazon pro.

- Brands need to take a realistic look at whether their product has strong enough customer relationships to warrant a direct-to-consumer approach or whether they should consider distribution on Amazon.

- Amazon isn’t just a distribution platform, it’s also a search-engine where consumers go to look for physical products.
