7 PHOTOGRAPHY SPECIFICATION Amazon requires a minimum of one image and allows up to nine. For a premium brand at the $26–$32 price point, all nine image slots should be used. Images are the primary conversion driver for first-time buyers who cannot physically evaluate the product. IMAGE 1 — MAIN IMAGE (WHITE BACKGROUND) Required: Product on pure white background (#FFFFFF), bottle taking up minimum 85% of frame, no props, no text overlays, no logos other than label. This is Amazon's mandatory main image specification. Both SKUs require separate main images. IMAGE 2 — LABEL CLOSE-UP Macro photography of the label. Brand name, provenance statement, and key quality claims legible at full resolution. Shows craftsmanship of label design. IMAGE 3 — LIFESTYLE: KITCHEN / TABLE Bottle in a premium kitchen or table setting. Warm, natural light. Props should suggest quality cooking: linen, ceramic, artisan bread, herbs. No people required but props must communicate premium positioning.
VID for legal advisor: Daralbeida Brands LLC is the Importer of Record (IOR) for every shipment entering the United States from Morocco. As IOR it signs the customs bond and is accountable to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all import declarations. No shipment may enter under a different entity's IOR status.
At 10,000 units annually — approximately 833 units per month — the model generates approximately $106,000 net profit on $260,000 gross revenue. The break-even on a $10,000 startup investment is approximately 942 units — achievable within the first two months of meaningful sales velocity.
VID Key 2026 change: the NAOOA reduced the FFA limit from 0.8% to 0.5% to match its 2022 FDA petition for a stricter US standard of identity. The maximum best-by window is 24 months from processing or bottling, stricter than IOC.
VERDICT AND PROTOCOL Launch Phase 1 at $26. Raise to $29 when Phase 1 confirms demand. Earn $32 with reviews and editorial validation. The $26 point is the right price for a brand that does not yet have proof of demand. The $29 point is the right price once proof exists. The $32 point is the right price once brand equity is established. Price moves upward with the brand. It does not lead it. Strategic constraint: No price reduction is permitted in response to competitive pressure, demand softness, or Amazon ranking fluctuations. The only legitimate triggers for a downward move are a permanent COGS decrease or a deliberate repositioning decision made by the founder.
