Profit Strategies to Offset Tariffs, Fees and Margin Pressure

With tariffs hitting hard and a more cost-conscious economy, controlling the financial side of an Amazon business is no longer about growth—for some, it’s about survival. While the industry is beginning to recognize contribution margin as a key metric for profit, I’ve developed an even deeper way to isolate exactly where profit is leaking in problem ASINs, but also where it can be amplified in hero products.

Layered with profit forecasting—a concept completely new to this industry—this approach lets sellers create profit strategies to not just hope for profit, but plan for it. Those who adopt these methods will have a clear competitive advantage going into 2026.

What I will cover:

• Unit economics and contribution margins
• How contribution margins hide profit opportunities.
• The metric missing from most profit planning.
• What is profit forecasting and why it is crucial to your future success.
• How to make these metrics actionable across departments.
