You already own the building the pallets sit in, which changes every FBA-versus-self-fulfilment answer a generic Amazon agency will give you.
Delivered remotely for brands across Riverside and California.
Most brands send inventory to a marketplace because they have nowhere else to put it. Out here that logic inverts. Your stock is already in a building off the 60 or the I-10, thirty minutes from the same fulfilment network Amazon runs in this region, and the freight leg into FBA is about as cheap as it gets anywhere in the country. That makes the fulfilment decision a genuine calculation rather than a default — and for oversized furniture, powersports and off-road product, shipping from your own dock frequently beats handing it to a size tier that was priced for a paperback.
The work starts with catalogue economics per SKU: referral fee, size tier and dimensional class, storage across a slow season, the return rate this category actually runs at, and the freight you already pay. Parcel-friendly, fast-moving items usually earn Prime placement and go to FBA. Heavy, slow or seasonal stock stays with you, and we build the listing, handling-time and rate configuration so seller-fulfilled orders do not lose the buy box on delivery speed you can, in fact, meet from Ontario.
Then the channel itself. Fitment data structured to the standard the automotive category runs on, so a buyer confirms a part fits inside Amazon rather than guessing and returning it. Variation and parentage cleaned up so a dozen sizes are one listing with pooled reviews instead of a dozen orphans. Walmart Marketplace where the category supports it, Faire for the wholesale side of an importer's business, and TikTok Shop only where the product demonstrates on video. All of it aimed at the same end: the marketplace finds the buyer once, your Shopify store and your trade portal keep them.
The Inland Empire is full of companies that spent twenty years selling to retailers and now find their own products listed on Amazon by four accounts they have never spoken to, at prices that make their MAP policy look decorative. That is the first thing we usually have to fix, and it is not an advertising job. It is Brand Registry enrolment so you own the listing content, a written channel policy with real enforcement against the accounts buying at wholesale and dumping, and an honest decision about which SKUs should be marketplace-available at all. From there the pricing architecture matters: a case pack that makes sense to a stockist is a terrible marketplace unit, and marketplace-exclusive bundles and pack sizes are how you sell on Amazon without giving your own retail accounts a reason to call. The regional advantage is real too — being this close to the ports and to major carrier hubs means late order cut-offs and short transit times across the Southwest, which is exactly what makes a seller-fulfilled offer competitive on the products FBA would price out of contention.
The same standard of work we run for every client — applied to a Riverside brand’s realities.
Full service detailTitles, bullets, backend search terms, variation parentage and category nodes rebuilt across Amazon Seller or Vendor Central, TikTok Shop and Walmart. Suppressions and stranded inventory fixed at the cause, not resubmitted.
Brand Registry enrolment, A+ and Premium A+ modules, Brand Story and Storefront pages built to each platform's image and copy specs. Produced inside this service because the formats are fixed.
Campaigns split by intent and margin band, converting search terms promoted to exact, negatives maintained weekly, and targets set from contribution margin instead of a category average.
FBA against FBM modelled per SKU on size tier, storage, return rate and reimbursement recovery. Some products should never enter a fulfilment centre, and we name which of yours.
Catalogue sync, listing compliance, sample seeding to affiliates, and live and video commerce, run as a mechanic of this channel rather than as a separate affiliate programme.
SKU allocation, MAP and pricing alignment, marketplace-only bundles and pack sizes, plus the permitted paths home: package inserts, Brand Registry tools and platform-allowed follow-up.
We do not work off a rate card. Every Riverside engagement starts with a fixed statement of work — named deliverables, named dates, one number — written after we have looked at your store, not before. If a smaller first step would serve you better, we will say so.
Get this scopedListing quality, suppressions, buy-box history, variation structure, the fee and returns reports and ninety days of search terms. You get the findings whether you hire us or not.
Parentage, titles, backend terms, imagery and A+ rebuilt before any spend moves. Advertising a listing that converts badly buys traffic for whoever else is in the carousel.
Which SKUs sell where, at what price, in what pack size, agreed with you in writing. The marketplace should not be bidding against your own store for the same order.
Sponsored campaigns rebuilt by intent and margin band, with ACoS and TACoS targets derived from contribution per unit after referral, fulfilment and return costs.
Weekly search-term mining, monthly fee and reimbursement review, and the insert and registry mechanics that give a marketplace buyer a reason to reorder on your site.
Thirty minutes with the strategist who would actually run your account. We screen-share your store, read your data live, and tell you the three highest-value things we can see from the outside.
