South Africa is a small marketplace. With an aim to position itself as the knowledge experts by offering traditional marketing and advertising agencies the chance to collaborate with RT7 to help their clients position themselves on Amazon, RT7 is already in direct communication with some of the larger brands in South Africa who see Amazon as a real opportunity. So one-on-one direct interactions with the already strong network in South Africa, mixed with the normal PPC, Amazon South Africa landing page, content specific to the region shared on many platforms, events, and a good PR campaign to get your brand out there.
In the context of Amazon South Africa, being 'ready' would imply the following: you have registered your account (avoided one-account policy issues); dealt with brand registry intricacies; made the Seller vs. Vendor decisions; managed brand ownership issues and have fully optimised your listings and all the content that is needed for that. Also refer to the establishment phase in our brand life-cycle model for more of what it looks like to be Amazon “ready”.
