WHY HIGH SCORES MATTER
Quite simply - they lead to higher sales
We methodically tested and determined every single metric used in our study to ensure it had a demonstrable impact on a brand's presence and performance - that ultimately leads to higher sales.
THE DATA
A clear correlation between The Marketplace Index™ scores and sales
We plotted all 1,800+ brand scores (aggregated from their top 25 products in each category) in the markets we evaluated to ensure there was a clear correlation whereby higher Marketplace Index™ scores were associated with higher sales (indicated by best seller ranking - BSR).
We tested, reviewed, and refined the measurement criteria in the study to include those that make a difference and exclude others that do not. This led to our final selection criteria spanning retail, content, media, and customer experience.
SOME EXCEPTIONS
Why did some brands score low but have high sales, and vice-versa?
Some brands that dominate their categories on Amazon surprisingly scored low in our Marketplace Index™ analysis. Many of these brands are well-known industry giants, and their success on Amazon can largely be attributed to their established reputation and market presence beyond the platform. While their sales currently remain unaffected by their lackluster performance in other vital aspects, The Marketplace Index™ shows areas where they can improve upon if they want to retain their top positions and continue growing in this competitive landscape.
Conversely, there were also brands that performed well in The Marketplace Index™ rankings despite their lower sales performance. These brands are prioritizing comprehensive brand management strategies, which have the potential to ultimately boost their sales and position them as formidable competitors among the top brands in the future.
