From $70K Back to $140K/Month in 5 Months: Consulting Success Story
The Challenge
This brand had once been very successful in their niche, generating about $135,000/month on Amazon. But rising competition had eroded their search rankings and cut sales nearly in half — down to just $70,000/month.
They came to Five Star Commerce for consulting, looking for expert insight into how they could turn things around.
Our Approach
After reviewing their business, we recommended a critical change: moving from FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) to FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon).
We didn’t just suggest the change — we guided their team through the entire transition:
- Revamping their internal processes.
- Training them on Amazon’s FBA rules, terms, and procedures.
- Answering questions and helping them avoid compliance pitfalls along the way.
By positioning their products within FBA, they gained Prime eligibility, faster shipping, and higher visibility in Amazon search results.
The Results
Within just 5 months, sales doubled — climbing from $70,000/month to $140,000/month.
And the cost of achieving that growth?
They invested only $888 in consulting time with us — an ROI that delivered more than $70K in additional monthly revenue.
What We Learned
- Sometimes small changes drive big results. Switching fulfillment methods completely altered how Amazon ranked and promoted their products.
- Consulting can deliver massive ROI. Even without ongoing management, applying the right strategy at the right time can be transformative.
- Knowledge transfer matters. By not just suggesting changes, but supporting the client’s team through implementation, we helped them make the transition quickly and effectively.
