What is private label repricing and why is it relevant for brand sellers?

Private label repricing is the automated price optimization of your own branded products on marketplaces such as Amazon.
For brand sellers, it is crucial to remain competitive, secure margins and increase the buybox ratio.

Why repricing also makes sense for private brands

Private label repricing is aimed at sellers who offer their own branded products on platforms such as Amazon. Unlike classic repricing, in which various retailers compete for the buy box, private label repricing is not aimed at a price competition, but at the dynamic adjustment to market behavior and demand.

The goal is not to be the cheapest provider, but the most profitable — while maximizing visibility.

Typical application examples:

• A brand seller analyses the Conversion rate and lowers the price slightly to increase sales in the short term.
• When stocks are low, the price is automatically raised by Return rate to keep it low and ensure a controlled sales rate.
• Seasonal demand, for example for fitness products in January, is being exploited with price increases without having to manually intervene.

Typical process steps in private label repricing

1. Defining the target price model (e.g. minimum margin, dynamic EIA variance)
2. Real-time monitoring of market, warehouse and competition
3. Connection to ERP or FBA data for storage and shipping logic
4. Automatic price rule triggering (e.g. for thresholds such as shipping time >2 days)
5. Monitoring & adjustment via dashboards
