Strategic FBA to FBM Transition Drives Profitability for LEER on Amazon
OVERVIEW
LEER faced profitability issues on Amazon, primarily with their 3P business. High storage and catalog fees from FBA were eating into margins, particularly for larger, slow-moving truck accessories. Channel Key identified these inefficiencies and worked with LEER to transition to a more profitable FBM model, expand their product catalog, and launch new high-margin products. This realignment helped the brand achieve its first profitable month of 3P sales.
