The strongest Amazon brands all do this:
Price laddering.
On a low-price product, the cheapest listing usually out-converts you. And you can't drop your price that low, because there's no margin left.
So the strongest brands I've seen don't sell one size. They sell a ladder.

โ The margin you have to spend on ads
โ The type of customer it pulls in
โ The searches it shows up for
The bottom rung competes on price, upsells are built in, and each rung of the ladder appeals to a different customer.
