Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC have joined forces to establish a new brand, Beartooth Trading, offering sustainable outdoor products. The first two products introduced are the Beartooth Ice Scraper used for scraping ice and snow and the Beartooth Stomp Pad for snowboarding, designed with an emphasis on sustainability. Beartooth Trading aims to offer high-quality products, but more importantly, is currently building invaluable knowledge and expertise relevant to Empress and Prosperity clients involved in overseas sourcing and online selling.
The Emergence of Sustainable Outdoor Products
Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC recognize the growing demand for sustainable products in the outdoor industry. Consumers are increasingly seeking eco-friendly alternatives that minimize environmental impact without compromising performance. The decision to launch Beartooth Trading aligns with the commitment of many of Empress’ and Prosperity’s clients’ goals to focus on environmental responsibility.
For both of the products, Empress coordinated the sourcing of the products and Prosperity played a crucial role in ensuring that the Beartooth Ice Scraper is a feasible product with sustainable margins. Both companies worked together to estimate an accurate landed cost and run the numbers to make sure margins are sustainable, while the product is still offered at a competitive price. Both products are made from sustainable Rubberwood, a by-product of latex production. A bit about the new products:
Beartooth Ice Scraper
The Beartooth Ice Scraper is an environmentally conscious solution to ice removal. Crafted from sustainable materials, this ice scraper is designed to effectively clear ice from snowboards, skis, and other surfaces with sustainable material that won’t damage the surfaces being scraped.
Beartooth Stomp Pad
The Beartooth Stomp Pad is an eco-friendly stomp pad crafted with a focus on providing snowboarders with a durable and reliable surface for traction. The product is a sustainable and stylish accessory designed for passionate snowboarders who crave both performance and eco-conscious choices.
Selling on Amazon: A Strategic Move
Recognizing the power of online platforms, Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC chose Amazon as their primary sales channel for the Beartooth Ice Scraper and Beartooth Stomp Pad. Selling on Amazon and using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) provides numerous advantages, especially when it comes to building knowledge relevant to clients that currently sell using Amazon FBA.
- Global Exposure and Market Reach
Amazon’s vast reach allows the newly established business to showcase its sustainable outdoor products to a global audience. This exposure is invaluable for companies looking to expand their reach and gain insights into diverse consumer preferences. By analyzing sales data and customer feedback on a global scale, Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC can refine their products and marketing strategies for maximum impact.
- Customer Insights and Feedback
Amazon’s customer-centric platform offers a direct line of communication with consumers. The reviews and feedback received on the Beartooth Ice Scraper and Beartooth Stomp Pad provide valuable insights into customer preferences, allowing the companies to make informed decisions regarding product improvements and future developments. This real-time feedback loop is instrumental in staying ahead of market trends and meeting evolving consumer demands.
- Supply Chain Optimization
Managing inventory and logistics efficiently is critical for companies involved in overseas sourcing and online selling. Amazon offers a very competitive solution with discounted rates offered to ship from a supplier to an Amazon FBA warehouse with their partnership with UPS. Amazon’s fulfillment services also provide a streamlined and reliable supply chain solution, though it’s not a good fit for every product (particularly larger, bulky items where a specialty 3PL may be preferred). By leveraging Amazon’s infrastructure, Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC can focus on product development and marketing while entrusting the logistics to a trusted and efficient partner.
- Digital Marketing and Analytics
Selling on Amazon opens up opportunities for digital marketing through the platform’s advertising services. Utilizing Amazon’s robust analytics tools, the companies can track the performance of their products, monitor advertising effectiveness, and refine marketing strategies based on real-time data. This knowledge is transferable to clients seeking guidance on leveraging digital marketing for their own products in the competitive online marketplace.
Building Knowledge for Clients
The decision to sell on Amazon is not just about the immediate revenue generated from the Beartooth Ice Scraper and Beartooth Stomp Pad. It is a strategic move to build knowledge that is directly relevant to clients engaged in overseas sourcing and online selling. Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC understand that the experience gained from managing a sustainable product line on a global e-commerce platform will serve as a valuable resource for their clients.
- Sustainable Sourcing Practices
The journey of creating the Beartooth Ice Scraper and Beartooth Stomp Pad involved meticulous attention to sustainable sourcing practices. Understanding the complexities of identifying and procuring eco-friendly materials from different regions is a knowledge base that can be shared with clients seeking to adopt sustainable sourcing practices in their own product development.
- Market Trends and Consumer Behavior
Selling on Amazon provides an opportunity to closely monitor market trends and consumer behavior. By analyzing data related to product sales, customer reviews, and competitor performance, Empress Brokers International LLC and Prosperity Solutions LLC can offer clients valuable insights into what works in the market and how to align their products with evolving consumer preferences.
- E-commerce Logistics and Fulfillment
The utilization of Amazon’s fulfillment services allows the companies to gain firsthand experience in managing e-commerce logistics efficiently. This knowledge is transferable to clients seeking guidance on optimizing their supply chain, choosing reliable fulfillment partners, and ensuring timely delivery of products to customers worldwide.
- Digital Marketing Strategies
The digital marketing landscape is ever-evolving, and Amazon provides a dynamic platform for advertising and promotion.
