What you get

  • A printable policy one-pager with your channel parity rule stated in one sentence

  • A price ladder in Excel comparing price per unit across every SKU and channel, with variance flags
  • A deliberate answer on your own subscription versus Amazon Subscribe & Save

  • An honest read on what marketplace prices do to your direct-response offer

When to use it

When Amazon is undercutting your site, when you're deciding whether Subscribe & Save should match your own subscription, or when an unfamiliar seller wins the buy box. Revisit it whenever packs, prices, or channels change.
