Look, selling on Amazon in Singapore isn’t as straightforward as most people think. I’ve been running Seller Center for years now, and I can’t tell you how many businesses I’ve seen struggle because they thought they could just wing it on Amazon.
Singapore’s market is different. Really different. The customers here expect lightning-fast delivery, they’re incredibly price-sensitive, and they’ll leave a bad review faster than you can say “customer service.” But here’s the thing – when you get it right, the rewards are massive.
Just last month, I was talking to Sarah from TechHub Singapore. She’d been selling phone accessories on Amazon for eight months and was barely breaking even. Her main complaint? “I’m spending more on ads than I’m making in profit.” Sound familiar?
After we took over her account, we discovered she was targeting keywords that cost $3.50 per click when she could have been using Singapore-specific terms that cost just $0.80. Three months later, her monthly revenue jumped from $12,000 to $38,000.
HealthFirst Singapore came to us in pretty bad shape. The owner, Marcus, had invested $25,000 into inventory but was only selling about 15 units per month. His biggest mistake? He was using the same product descriptions that worked in Malaysia, not realizing that Singapore customers respond to completely different messaging.
We rewrote his listings to focus on what Singapore customers actually care about – third-party testing, local delivery times, and HSA compliance. His conversion rate went from 1.8% to 6.2% in just six weeks.
Then there’s StyleForward, a local clothing brand that was getting decent traffic but terrible sales. The problem wasn’t their products – it was their photos. They were using standard white background shots when Singapore customers expect lifestyle images showing how clothes look in tropical weather.
After we updated their images and optimized for local search terms like “office wear Singapore” and “humidity-friendly fabric,” their sales increased by 280% during the back-to-school season.
Most people mess this up from day one. They rush through the setup process and end up with an account that’s flagged for review within weeks.
We take the time to:
Register your business properly with ACRA documentation
Set up your tax settings correctly (this alone saves most clients 7% in unnecessary fees)
Configure your shipping templates to match Singapore’s delivery expectations
Link your DBS or OCBC bank account without triggering security holds
Real example: KitchenPro Singapore had their account suspended three times in their first month because they didn’t understand Amazon’s verification process. We got them reinstated and they haven’t had a single issue since.
Here’s where most businesses waste their money. They think more traffic equals more sales. Wrong. Better targeting equals more sales.
When GadgetWorld hired us, they were spending $4,200 monthly on ads and getting a 1.1 ROAS (return on ad spend). Terrible. We cut their ad spend to $2,800 but focused on Singapore-specific keywords and shopping behaviors. Their ROAS jumped to 4.8.
How? Simple things like:
Running out of stock on Amazon Singapore is like shooting yourself in the foot. The algorithm punishes you for weeks afterward. But overstocking ties up your cash flow.
SportZone Singapore learned this the hard way. They’d order massive quantities during Chinese New Year sales, then sit on inventory for months. We implemented a system that tracks Singapore’s unique shopping patterns – Ramadan sales, National Day promotions, year-end school holidays.
Result? They reduced their inventory holding costs by 35% while never going out of stock during peak periods.
Singapore customers expect same-day or next-day delivery. Period. If you’re not using FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), you’re already behind. But even with FBA, you need to understand the nuances.
HomeEssentials was losing sales because their products were stored in Amazon’s Jurong warehouse, but most of their customers were in the East. We helped them optimize their inventory distribution, and their delivery ratings improved from 4.1 to 4.8 stars.
Singaporeans are review-obsessed, but they’re also fair. They’ll give you a chance to fix problems before leaving negative feedback. The key is responding quickly and professionally.
We manage reviews for BeautyBox Singapore, and our response rate is under 2 hours for any customer complaint. Their overall rating has stayed above 4.6 stars for 18 months straight.
Singapore customers will comparison shop across multiple platforms. Lazada, Shopee, Qoo10 – they’re checking everywhere. Your pricing strategy needs to account for this.
ElectronicsPlus was pricing their products 15% higher than competitors and wondering why sales were slow. We implemented dynamic pricing that adjusts based on competitor prices while maintaining healthy margins. Sales volume increased by 190%.
Let me share some real data from our clients:
Average sales increase in first 90 days: 156%
Average improvement in conversion rate: 3.2x
Average reduction in advertising costs: 28%
Client retention rate: 94% (people stick with us because we deliver results)
FoodieFinds Singapore started with us making $8,500 monthly. Eighteen months later, they’re doing $67,000 monthly and expanding to Malaysia and Thailand.
