Quote from James A.Hart on June 28, 2025, 12:43 pmA lot of people ask how much it really costs to launch a brand on Amazon. Here’s a transparent breakdown based on one of our case study products:
- Design + Logo: Simple logo design for packaging
- Stock Image: Used a high-quality image for our packaging
- GS1 Barcode: $30 for 1 SKU (you only pay more if you have multiple SKUs)
- Photography: We used productphotography.com, which we’ve trusted for other successful launches
- Sample Product: About $100, including international shipping to the U.S.
- Trademark Costs:
- $900 to file
- $500 for attorney search and review
- Total Startup Costs (excluding inventory): Roughly $2,700
📦 Inventory Costs: First order brought the total startup cost to just over $8,200.
This includes everything from branding to barcodes to our first shipment. For anyone thinking about starting — this is a realistic picture of what it can take to do it right.
