The Small and Light program can be great for new sellers or those who are looking to expand their business. The program is very similar to the FBA standard program but there are some notable differences.
First, the Small and Light program only accepts products that are under $15 in price. The goal of the Small and Light program is to make it easier to sell small, lightweight items that might not otherwise be eligible for FBA. The program can also be used to help increase your visibility in the eyes of Amazon Prime customers. Amazon will give a small discount to customers who purchase more than one unit of the same product.
If you are a seller that produces your own products, you will have to follow a different set of rules for enrolling your products in the Small and Light program. Specifically, you will have to use the correct labeling to indicate which unit should go to Amazon and which to your customer. Additionally, each unit must have a barcode.
You will also need to follow some additional rules when using the Small and Light program. Clear plastic bags are the best packaging for small and light items. Your seller name and carrier names must be included in the barcode. Special packaging may be required for crushable products.
You may also be eligible for a 5% price cut if your product is small or light. Amazon will cover the cost for the discount if the customer purchases five or more identical products. You don't have to offer Prime customers free shipping if you only sell Small and Light products. This is because Amazon offers standard shipping to non-Prime shoppers.
The Small and Light program has a few limitations, including the requirement that you ship only 24 units per MSKU. If you're new to Amazon selling, this can make it difficult. You might need to package your products inside manufacturer case packs. Amazon no longer offers Prime members free 2-day shipping.
Amazon Small and Light is a great way for you to cut costs and gain new customers. But keep in mind that you may not have the same amount of profit margins as you would if you were a manufacturer. You can also expect a longer shipping time than you would with standard FBA fulfillment. You should also carefully read the instructions to avoid any delays.
You can download a template once you're ready to register in the Small and Light Program. This template allows you to enroll more MSKUs. The template can be downloaded. You will need to copy the MSKUs and then paste them into the template. You can also remove spaces between your MSKUs using the template.

When making a grocery shopping list, it is essential to keep it simple. Don't list every thing you eat daily. This will make your grocery list too complicated. Find out which ingredients you use most often and add them to your grocery list. If you like something new, try adding it!
Knowing which recipes you are most familiar with will save you time and help you save money. Online recipe databases are available that allow you to look up ingredients and print out the recipe. Alternatively, you can always take a picture of the ingredient list and put it into Evernote, so you can easily access it later.
