ASP
What is ASP?
ASP (Average Selling Price) is a performance metric that shows the average amount a customer pays per unit sold over a specific time period.
It’s calculated as:
ASP=Total Net Sales / Total Units Sold
For example:
If you sold 100 units and made $2,000 in net sales, your ASP = $20.
Why ASP matters:
- Helps evaluate pricing strategy and profitability
- Useful for comparing SKUs, bundles, or categories
- Affects advertising decisions - lower ASP products usually need lower ACoS to stay profitable
- Tracks discounting or price erosion over time
- Indicates market positioning (e.g. premium vs. budget)
Where ASP is used:
- In Vendor Central and Seller Central reports
- Amazon Retail Analytics (ARA/ARAP)
- Business Reviews and Joint Business Plans (JBPs)
- Advertising ROI planning
- Forecasting and assortment planning
You might also hear terms like:
- Blended ASP (across multiple SKUs or timeframes)
- ASPX (Average Selling Price per customer segment or per visit - less common)
In short:
ASP = the average price you actually sell your product for. It’s essential for managing margins, advertising, and long-term growth.
