SKU Economics is an essential tool for Amazon sellers aiming to enhance profitability. By providing detailed insights and optimization opportunities, it empowers you to make data-driven decisions for your business.
How SKU Economics Works
SKU Economics is a tool designed to analyze the profitability of individual products (SKUs) in your Amazon inventory. Initially, it assumes the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) as 25% of the sales price for each product. You can update this to reflect the actual COGS by editing it in the Financial view of the Products Catalog inside your Seller Labs account. SKU Economics then calculates profitability by factoring in costs like advertising and Amazon fees. It tracks this data historically, providing insights into trends and allowing you to optimize pricing, marketing, and inventory strategies based on accurate profitability analysis.
