For independent distribution purposes, there are two programs offered by Amazon that are relevant in this discussion: one is called Advantage, the other is Marketplace.

Both programs are fully searchable on Amazon's site, but with Advantage, Amazon more actively places the product on keyword searches and referrals.  They also require that the fulfillment be done by them.  For their "marketing" efforts, they take about 45-55%, depending on whether they surround the offer with promotions and discounts, such as free shipping.  Our clients have discovered that if you add the cost of shipping the products to Amazon, their net is approximately 40-50%.

The Marketplace program allows a merchant (in this case, Neoflix) to open up a store and place products on Amazon for sale.  The main drive to the product will be keyword search and product ranking (which improves over time as long as the product is selling).  There isn't the product referral marketing (for example offering “people who bought this item also bought that...”), but you have a full independent product page where description and reviews are available.  Amazon takes 20% from the sale.  After the shipping and processing fees (Neoflix ships using USPS 1st class, while Amazon ships using standard mail) are deducted, most clients receive about 65-70%.

The monthly marketplace store fee is about $50, which Neoflix pays.  This saves clients a lot of money—especially if the volumes are not there to justify it.

• Can you send me what is the normal whole sale pricing discount… thanks!
• Just wanted to know if there is any way to rearrange the order of the items in the store. When I go to "rearrange" it has categories of products rather than products. For the Private home viewing I basically want to reverse order--individual DVD at top; 5 pack; 10 pack etc.
• What is the short URL formula for my Neoflix pages?
• On my Neoflix transaction record, it shows that some buyers have "subscribed to news". What news is this referring to?
• Is there a quick and easy way to transfer the emails I've collected through Neoflix transactions to go to my Box Office Widget account?
• How do I create a coupon for my customers? And what are my options for distributing this coupon through Neoflix?
• How do I create a coupon on Neoflix?
• I am writing to request the URL for the "thank you" pages that are shown after a transaction is made for my products. Please indicate whether the URL is direct match, head match, or regular expression match so I can properly submit the information to track in Google Analytics. Also, the URL names leading to these pages, or the paths, would be extremely helpful (like the shopping cart page, confirm order page, etc.)
• I need to ship my merchandise to the Neoflix warehouse. What is the shipping address I should use?
• Is there an easy way to generate a list of customer email addresses from my Neoflix account, showing which customers chose to be added to my mailing list?
• I have a customer who doesn't feel comfortable placing an order online through my Neoflix store. Does Neoflix have the capability to take phone orders?
• Is there a way to track if another organization I’m working with is driving traffic to my store? I’d like to be able to compensate these affiliate organizations with a portion of the sales that they help generate.
• Is there a way to offer customers free shipping if they buy multiple products? Example: Buy two DVDs and get free shipping.
• Is it possible for an affiliate who is marketing my DVD to have access to emails from sales that are generated by his/her outreach?
• How can I export a list of customer email addresses from Neoflix?
• Why is there a line through the SSL Lock on my browser?
