![]() ![]() But we wanted to branch out and try something new, and shoes were very appealing for us as a new category for diversification for reasons I’ll get into below. ![]() Don’t get me wrong – we love selling toys and are always super excited when Q4 rolls around. ![]() We wanted to find a category where we could consistently source products and diversify our inventory away from being so toy heavy. Shoes gave us an opportunity to diversify our inventory.īefore fall of 2015, our main categories were toys, toys, toys, books, toys, home and kitchen, toys, and a smattering of sports, grocery, and health and beauty.Here are the main reasons we decided to add shoes to our FBA sourcing strategy: We first added shoes in the fall of 2015, and ever since then we’ve been pleased with the difference this category has made in our business and are continually looking for ways to expand our shoe inventory. One key component of our current sourcing strategy for Amazon FBA is selling shoes. It’s been a work-in-progress to get to the point we’re at with our current roles in the business, and I’m sure it will continue to evolve – but for now we’ve found a system of sourcing that we love and is profitable for us. ![]() Now that we’ve been working on the business together for several years, I’ve found areas where I gravitate more than Stephen (check out our post about my experience getting into online arbitrage, for example). If you’re not familiar with our story as a couple and as business partners, Stephen is the one in our marriage with the business experience, and I am the one who came into this whole FBA thing with a bit of skepticism. Since we’re finding such great success with shoes, we thought we’d share with you our experiences since we started venturing into selling shoes through Amazon FBA. In fact, over the past 6 years, shoe are our second most item on Amazon (the first being toys). Since our initial experiment with shoes, we have learned so much about how to source and sell shoes on Amazon. Back in 2015, Stephen and I (Rebecca) decided to add shoes to our Amazon FBA inventory. ![]()
