Here are some tips to help make your brand sparkle and propel you towards revenue goals:

Check Inventory 

First and one of the most important steps, ensure your inventory is in check and that you are meeting Amazon’s deadlines in terms of stock. Without the adequate amount of products in the warehouse by these deadlines, you will miss out on potential sales.

Promos, promos, promos!

If you want to run lightning deals, be sure to submit them in time! Increase bids or push budgets for those products within your ad campaigns but also, be sure to run your own deals! Tidy up any promotions, coupons & vouchers, and make sure you’re pushing up-sell & cross-sell sales for your brand.

Review product listings…

We wouldn’t suggest changing anything drastic just before prime day, but with a few weeks to go and Prime Day traffic driving more customers to product pages, there are a few things to keep in mind. To start with, make sure all of your product listing content is in line with Amazon’s guidelines you dont want to have any listings suppressed during this busy time. You can also ensure that all of your listings have fresh imagery, copy & A+ content to maintain shoppers’ attention and lure them into making purchases by trusting your brand.

Optimize your ad campaigns 

Many sellers religiously follow Amazon’s Prime Day guidelines and spend large amounts of budget to try and boost their sales rank in advance of Prime Day.  However, consumers actually customers tend to just browse pre-Prime Day, so you could end up paying more for clicks that ultimately don’t convert to a sale. We recommend focusing your ad strategy on the few days surrounding the Prime Day window.

Before Prime Day lands, ensure all campaigns are structured correctly, ads are optimized and increase your bids on your top-performing keywords. When increasing your ad budgets don’t just put a significant budget into your ads at the start of Prime Day. Instead, to encourage even spend, set an account-level budget to make sure that you don’t end up overspending budget and also increase budgets regularly throughout the day. If in doubt, follow the 80/20 rule, and focus on your top-revenue performers!

Drive Traffic to Store 

Don’t forget to optimize your storefront too. Be Prime Day ready! Test sponsored brand creatives that lead to your storefront, and if you have lightning deals, adjust the layout to include these in the front and centre of the store!
