About Nice Brands:

Nice Brands is a leading provider of professional electronics and power management products, overseeing respected brands such as Furman and Panamax. As these products grew in demand across Amazon, maintaining pricing integrity and controlling unauthorized sellers became critical to protecting brand value.


The Challenge:

  • When Nice Brands approached ThornCrest, they faced:

    • Widespread MAP violations undermining dealer relationships

    • Low Buy Box ownership by authorized sellers

    • Rapidly increasing unauthorized seller activity

    • Nearly 80% of monitored ASINs priced below MAP

    Unauthorized sellers were not only eroding margins but also threatening the premium reputation of the brands.

Our Approach:

  • ThornCrest deployed a comprehensive brand protection program that included:

    • 24/7 monitoring of 31 Furman ASINs

    • Automated detection of MAP violations and unauthorized listings

    • Enforcement through cease-and-desist communications and Amazon takedown actions

    • Detailed reporting and tracking of improvements over time

Results

  • Since launching the program, Nice Brands achieved measurable progress:

    • πŸš€ 50% improvement in MAP pricing compliance

    • πŸš€ $4.4 million in unauthorized inventory removed from Amazon

    • πŸš€ 80% enforcement success rate

    • πŸš€ Buy Box wins by authorized sellers increased to 53%

    • πŸš€ Reduction in ASINs priced below MAP from 80% to 61%

    These results have strengthened price consistency, protected brand reputation, and improved profitability for Nice Brands and their authorized partners.
