Year 5 was born from years of experience in managing the many intricate and ever changing details of what it takes to be represented properly - and to sell successfully - on Amazon. We love Amazon, and managed properly you will too. Most importantly, though, we are about doing the right things, for the right reasons, for the right people, and the right brands.

Year 5

We started 17 years ago when a husband simply supported his wife’s dream to have her own women’s boutique. The first online customers had to fax in their orders. Now, we can click one button on our cell phone and have our product arrive in 2 days or less! Oh, the changes we’ve seen.

Amazon has, quite simply, changed retail. Not only is it the world’s largest retailer and e-commerce site, but Amazon isn’t going anywhere and is only getting bigger. If managed correctly, Amazon can change lives for the better. We’ve also seen, over and over again, brands that are simply not familiar with the intricacies of Amazon. The good folks at Amazon don’t like any of this more than you - but there are millions of sellers and those at Amazon have their work cut out for them - and so do you. We can help. We help expose the hidden sellers, below MAP pricing, mis-represented products, and all of the less-than-savory aspects of dealing with unmanaged brands and products on Amazon. These problems are not unique to Amazon - after all, they do an excellent job in providing tools and resources to help you control your brand. We just help you implement these tools properly and in the way which is most beneficial to the success of your company.

The reality is that your brand WILL end up on Amazon (and eBay, and many other sites) whether you want it to or not. You need to partner with someone who knows how to take care of all aspects of managing an Amazon seller account properly. Focus on what you do best - your brand - and we’ll work with Amazon to make sure that your brand is positioned properly to succeed.

We’ve handled brands with various models and of all sizes - from annual sales across all their sales channels of over $400M, to brand new businesses that have just launched, and everything in between. We can handle your brand because, quite simply, we are experts in this space.

Our focus is on managing brands on the Amazon platform while allowing the brand to maintain 100% of the ownership. You’ve done the work, taken the risk, put in the sweat and tears, and you should benefit from everything you and your staff have accomplished.

On your own, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to be instantly successful on Amazon. Year 5 was established so you can realize success sooner than later, while avoiding common stumbling blocks and jump the inevitable hurdles with ease. We partner with you and become an extension of your company - of your brand - and our goal is to get you to what would be your Year 5 - the first year.
