While the holiday season might be coming to an end, you should not let your Amazon sales strategy suffer for it. It is while the shoppers are taking a break, the sellers who understand the opportunities capture this time and review their listings for the upcoming year. 

This is the opportune moment to improve the product titles, update the descriptions, and enrich the images in order to increase the visibility and the conversion rate.

Consider it as a chance to press the reset button and review the aspects that were effective during the peak period and those that require modification. Therefore, it is crucial to make the necessary changes now to ensure that you have better sales, higher ranking, and quite competitive when the demand comes back. 

Are you eager to make the most out of this relatively calm period and bring your Amazon brand to the new level? Here we present the most effective strategies to refresh your listings!

A+ Content for a Professional Amazon Look

Develop a Compelling Brand Story

Remember that customers only buy from trustworthy brands, and a good brand story can help you differ from the competitors. Using the A+ Content “Brand Story” module, retailers can communicate their journey, values and mission, creating increases in credibility and emotional connections with shoppers.

Why It Matters

A brand story establishes trust and makes your brand feel more relatable. If potential customers are clear on the vision for your products, they’re more likely to select your brand than a competitor’s.

How to Do It Right

• Begin with your mission: Tell us why you started your brand.
• Highlight important milestones: Demonstrate brand achievements and awards.
• Include genuine images: Share photos from behind the scenes or a team introduction.
• Make it short and sweet: Use a few short paragraphs—audience-focused, not you-focused.

Example

For example, a sustainable skincare brand that sells organic face serums could use A+ Content to provide details about its eco-friendly mission. The of writing off their use of recyclable packaging, a timeline of their journey, and an image of their founder explaining why she decided to create clean beauty products.

Telling a story, customers can identify with can create brand loyalty and lead to conversion. In a world where shoppers are more inclined to support Amazon FBA brands they connect with, the Brand Story module is an invaluable asset to A+ Content.

Why Use High Quality Lifestyle Images 

Good quality listing images are so important to purchase decisions. Whereas product images on a white background are usual, lifestyle images that demonstrate real-world usage give customers a sense of how it may fit into their everyday life.

Why It Matters

Lifestyle images provide context, size and function of a product, and an emotional connection. Amazon shoppers are more likely to purchase from listings that use relatable use-case scenarios.

How to Do It Right:

• Use some great examples: Show the product in action.
• Diversity of backgrounds: Pick settings similar to your audience.
• Keep high resolution: Clear and professional-looking images

Visually highlight the key benefits: Rather than using heavy text to explain product value, allow listing images to do the talking.

Example

For example, an Amazon FBA seller of yoga mats may include lifestyle images of a person practicing on the mat in a studio or at home. Instead of just showing the rolled-up mat, the images can showcase a couple of yoga postures, non-slip grip, and the comfortable thickness.

Including lifestyle images adds a 3D shopping experience that helps shoppers visualize the product in their lives. This can result in increased likelihood of engagement and conversion rates.

Use Infographics to Highlight Its Key Features 

There are also Amazon infographics that get your product benefits across quickly. They pair graphics with short text, which make information easier to digest.

Why It Matters

In fact, most shoppers don’t read product descriptions. Just make sure you choose to highlight the most important product aspects in an easy and understandable format.

How to Do It Right

• New design with simple icons and graphics: Show features through visual representations rather than text only
• Text should be short and impactful: Not lengthy descriptions.
• Avoid overusing color contrast: Color contrast is a great way to emphasize certain points but pick moments to use it strategically so as not to confuse the viewer.
• So zero in on the headline benefits: things that are most important to customers.

Example

For example, a noise-canceling headphones seller might use an infographic to explain:

• Battery life: “40 hours on a single charge” followed by an icon of a battery.
• Sound quality: “Premium HD audio,” with a speaker icon
• Bluetooth range: “Seamless connectivity up to 30 feet” along with a Wi-Fi signal icon.

Infographics serve as a visual aid to condense and communicate information clearly. Bringing it to a more customer-level engagement and higher conversions

Describes A Comparison Table To Highlight Your Advantages 

A comparison chart lets you showcase your product’s benefits over the competition in a straightforward, side-by-side comparison. That helps customers easily see why your product is better.

Why It Matters

When consumers are shopping, they often explore many products before they buy. A well-laid-out comparison chart can save them time, and this can also sway the decision in your favor.

How to Do It Right

• Select comparison factors that make sense: Decide on the elements that can set your product apart.
• Design with clarity: The less clutter, the easier it is to read the information.
• Show your strengths: Always keep your product distinct in the chart.
• Price vs general market standards — no mentioning competitor product names to comply with Amazon policies

A laptop Amazon FBA seller can create a chart:

Leverage Customer Testimonials and Reviews

Reviews are critical in building trust, and displaying positive testimonials in A+ Content can add further substance to the reviews and influence buying decisions. Customers don’t really trust retailers when they say their products are good, and the social proof factor works in their favor here, especially buying brands on Earth. 

How to Use Customer Testimonials Effectively

 Sellers should not only include them in their product descriptions, but they should also keep in mind to highlight the specific benefits a customer gained from the product according to a review; use reviews from verified buyers for credibility, and present them in a readable way, with listing images where possible, print. 

• A fitness equipment brand can showcase a testimonial of a customer who lost weight using their treadmill, along with some before and after images. Using Positive Reviews in A+ Content helps gain more trust from short priced buyers.

Use CTA (Call-to-action) Elements

A strong call to action (CTA) emphasizes what you want the customer to do next, whether that is purchase, sign up for updates, or discover more about the product. Many buyers need some direction before completing a purchase, and a good CTA can change the game. 

• In this regard, Amazon FBA sellers should make sure that their CTA is action-oriented, with words like “Buy Now,” “Upgrade Your Experience,” or “Limited-Time Offer,” and that they are placed within the content for the most impact, and mention urgency when possible. 
• For instance, an electronics seller might use a CTA such as “Order Today and Get Free Shipping” to motivate customers to buy right away. Effective Call To Action (CTA) drives better conversion and sales performance.

Test Your A+ Content with an A/B Test

Even top A+ Content will likely require some tweaks to reach peak performance. A/B testing (split testing) is a method where Amazon FBA sellers may use to compare multiple versions of their content to see which performs better.

 Sellers can test various listing images, text and layouts to determine what optimizes for higher conversions. 

• For sustainable A/B testing, sellers need to modify a single factor at a time, use Amazon’s “Manage Your Experiments” tool to create A/B tests if eligible, analyze results relative to engagement and conversion rates, and add any successful elements for the long term. 

Such as a skincare brand that tests two versions of A+ Content — one featuring an infographic showcasing top ingredients and the other featuring a before-after comp. If the before-and-after performs better, the Amazon FBA seller can use that as the final product. 

The real customer data from A/B testing allows sellers to refine and enhance their listings to engage their targeted audience more effectively and ultimately stimulate higher sales.

Remove Irrelevant Keywords

Identify Non-Converting Keywords

These keywords are search terms that generate clicks to an Amazon listing but result in no purchases. While these keywords can get views, if they don’t convert viewers into buyers, they damage the overall performance of the listing. 

To find these types of keywords, Amazon FBA sellers can pull Amazon’s Search Term Report in Seller Central. This report shows you the keywords pulling in clicks but not purchases. 

This means that either there is no intent between these two groups, in which case the target audience is inappropriately defined, or the keyword is not applicable to a huge proportion of the target audience.

• For instance, let’s say a seller was selling luxury leather handbags. If their product is being shown to budget-conscious shoppers without the keyword “cheap handbags,” which filters out the budgeted shoppers, their product is still getting exposure but at the cost of extra ad money spent in vain on these shoppers who will never buy an expensive bag. 

Other customers will click on the listing, but see the price and move on, which can hurt conversion rates. To remedy this, the seller should delete “cheap” from its backend search terms and instead optimize for words like “genuine leather handbags” or “designer handbag for women.”

This includes sellers cutting out ineffective keywords. Both ensure higher conversion and higher listing ranking on amazon. A product with a high conversion rate tells Amazon’s algorithm that it is a relevant and valuable product, and therefore stands a better chance of getting higher placements in search results.

 To continue attracting the right customers, sellers need to frequently monitor keyword performance and remove non performing terms to keep their listing well optimized.

Avoid Generic Terms That Lack Buying Intent

Generic keywords might get you traffic, but not serious buyers. Searches for “best shoes” or “good laptop” are too generic and lack the intent of actual buyers. Shoppers looking for those types of terms are often in the research phase of the buying journey, not necessarily ready to buy. 

To boost sales, Amazon FBA sellers need to optimize these vague keywords with more targeted, high-intent phrases.

• For instance, a seller wants to sell gaming laptops might specify instead of using couch words like “good laptop,” they might use product-related, purchase intent keywords such as “high-performance gaming laptop” or “laptop with RTX graphics card.” These phrases appeal to buyers who are already aware of their needs, making them the conversion-catalyst step.

Most of all, Amazon’s search algorithm favors listings that match a customer’s intent to buy. 

• For example, if an Amazon FBA seller uses generic keywords they may have their listing display in search results for unrelated questions which results in less engagement and fewer sales.) Moreover, popular keywords are also highly competitive and smaller sellers will often find it difficult to compete with established brands.

Instead of going after generic keywords, sellers should conduct keyword research to identify terms that mirror customer intent. Amazon FBA sellers can fine-tune keyword strategy based on intent-based search terms to improve their relevant listing and attract the target ready-to-purchase customers for sales.

Eliminate Keywords Which Mislead the Customer About the Product

Using ambiguous language in Amazon product descriptions will result in the wrong buyers getting interested which produces higher rates of returns as well as bad reviews that decrease page position. 

Each keyword in your Amazon listing should precisely depict the product’s characteristics as well as technical details. The use of incorrect terms by Amazon FBA sellers attracts faulty customers who end up unsatisfied with their purchase when reality differs from expectations.

• When a wired gaming mouse includes the search term “wireless” in its listing it will appear in results for wireless mouse queries. Customers who seek a wireless option will likely click the listing for a Bluetooth-enabled product. 

Customers will usually provide poor feedback or choose item return or non-purchase after they discover the product uses wires. The user experience deteriorates while the algorithm receives signals that indicate the listing does not match the search terms.

Sellers should conduct consistent keyword checks and remove terms which fail to accurately represent their products. Sellers need to concentrate on showing their products’ real specifications rather than attempting to reach broad consumer groups. 

Sellers who use proper keywords in an authentic way establish customer loyalty and boost sales because their targeted customer base effectively discovers appropriate products.

Eliminate Outdated or Seasonal Keywords

Seasonal keywords function excellently during targeted periods yet destroy visibility after seasons conclude. The market value of keywords tagged to event-specific listings decreases when such events finish. 

• For example holiday items like “Christmas gift for kids” or “Black Friday deals” put specific keywords into disuse. Product listings that contain obsolete search terms will receive lower search rankings from Amazon’s system because they attract customers who are no longer interested.

During cold months sellers of winter coats market their products using the keyword “best winter jackets for extreme cold”. When season transitions take place the total number of customers searching for winter jackets declines. 

The visibility of a listing declines when Amazon FBA sellers neglect to update their key phrases which impacts its ability to attract suitable traffic. The sellers should shift their search phrases toward “lightweight spring jackets” and “windproof jackets for spring” which better match contemporary consumer interests.

Physical store success depends on continuous monitoring of market trends followed by keyword adjustments. By analyzing data from search volume tools such as Google Trends and Amazon the seller can spot declining popular seasonal keywords and make needed updates in their listings.

 Strategic updates to keywords help maintain product usability so it attracts customers throughout the entire year.

Eliminate Irrelevant Brand Names

Listing keywords that include competitor brand names may seem like a way to bring in more traffic, but it may have the opposite effect. Amazon’s guidelines restrict Amazon FBA sellers from including another brand name in their own backend search terms — list abuse on this count could see listings suppressed or penalized. 

• For example, if a seller is selling generic wireless earbuds, having words like “Apple AirPods” or “Bose headphones” in the backend keywords may help bring shoppers who are looking for those brands. 

When customers receive these products and see they are not Apple or Bose products, they may feel tricked and post a review. This damages the listing’s credibility and also raises returns.

• Sellers should emphasise what sets their products apart instead of competitor names. If the earbuds come with features like noise cancellation or long battery life, keywords such as “noise-canceling wireless earbuds,” and “long-lasting Bluetooth earbuds” will draw the right audience without any confusion. 

Transparency is key in both ensuring compliance with Amazon’s policies and maintaining trust and satisfaction with your customers.

Remove Unnecessary Synonyms and Repetitive Keywords

Amazon’s A9 algorithm automatically takes different versions of keywords into account, so there is no need to build out 100 synonyms for keywords or repeat keywords excessively. Stuffing backend search terms with similar words occupies precious real estate that could be used for more relevant keywords.

• So for instance, a seller listing a “waterproof hiking backpack” doesn’t have to add all of those variations like “hiking backpack waterproof,” “waterproof backpack for hiking,” and “It’s All About a backpack hiking waterproof.” Amazon already knows these are related terms.

 Amazon FBA sellers will need to leverage other relevant keywords, such as “lightweight trekking backpack” or “durable outdoor backpack,” to increase their opportunities.

But on the other side, if your listing is repetitive, it is too spammy. Instead of repeating “best laptop for students,” sellers should use alternatives, including “affordable student laptop” or “lightweight college laptop.” The well-planned and clean keyword strategy follows an optimized approach for making the listing visible without disturbing the user flow.

Eliminate Poorly Performing PPC Keywords

Amazon Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns help you understand keyword performance — as in, which keywords convert sales and which do not. PPC performance reports should be checked regularly, and poorly performing keywords should be removed from listings. 

If these keywords see a lot of clicks but fail to result in sales, they can sour both organic rankings and advertising ROI.

• For example, if a Amazon FBA seller places an advertisement for “Bluetooth speakers in $30” that receives a very high click-through-rate, but not conversion, then obviously the expectation for the product does not match customer expectation. 
• Targeting this keyword creates wasted spend, and minimizes profitability on the whole. Instead, more effective search keywords for the seller to use might include phrases like “compact wireless speakers ” or “budget-friendly Bluetooth speakers” which better reflect what customers are searching for.

This can significantly enhance their sales performance as removing low-performing PPC keywords and concentrating on high-converting terms can improve the efficiency of paid campaigns and boost organic search ranking.

Some keywords are strictly prohibited by Amazon guidelines. While creating their content, sellers must ensure not to use restricted terms like false claims, medical benefits, prohibited product descriptions, etc.

• For example, a seller of supplements may not use words such as “cures arthritis” or “guaranteed weight loss” because Amazon allows medical claims only with F.D.A. approval. Gen-y does not allow the use of promotional language in listings, so words like “free shipping” or “best price” should not be part of backend search terms, either.

Optimize for Amazon SEO Algorithm Updates

Focus on High-Intent Keywords

Amazon algorithms A9 and A10 position listings which match specified buyer intent criteria because these terms indicate readiness to make purchases. Sellers achieve better visibility and conversion rates through their efforts on high-intent keyword selection. 

The consumer seeking “best waterproof Bluetooth speakers for beach use” requires a particular product which must provide both durability and portability features. 

• The use of search keywords such as “waterproof Bluetooth speakers for beach” strengthens the probability that buyers will discover the product while searching for purchasing options at the beach.
• Through the use of special search tools Amazon FBA sellers can select appropriate long-tail keywords that match their targeted customers’ precise search needs. Products should use specific descriptions such as “best portable waterproof Bluetooth speaker for travel” instead of generic terms “Bluetooth speaker.”

A natural readable flow throughout the listing must be maintained at all times. The use of excessive repeating keywords through keyword stuffing destroys both the readability along with the customer’s overall experience between seller and buyer. 

Refining your product list to meet search engine requirements must not overshadow creating a valuable experience for prospective buyers so you need to strike a careful measure. Targeting high-intent essential terms helps sellers find suitable audience matches and improves both product visibility and conversion chances.

Prioritize Backend Keywords for Better Indexing

The search engine of Amazon uses Backend keywords as secret terms which make products searchable. The algorithm relies on these secret keywords which the product page does not reveal to find matching search queries. 

The strategic use of backend keywords enables massive visibility growth though sellers need to implement them properly.

Amazon supports 250 backend search terms yet Amazon FBA sellers should prevent duplicate keywords from title content as well as bullet points and product description content. Including “wireless headphones” within the product title makes further inclusion of this phrase in backend keywords unnecessary. 

• A seller should focus on putting related terms and variations within backend search terms. A product such as Bluetooth headphones requires backend keywords including “noise-canceling Bluetooth earphones,” “over-ear wireless headphones,” and “wireless stereo headphones for working out” to maximize search query coverage.
• Sellers commonly make the error of including excessive irrelevant keywords within their search term backend. The use of terms such as “best” or “cheap” typically proves useless because they conflict with Amazon’s system guidelines and trigger algorithmic detection. 

The search system on Amazon identifies equivalent words and phrases therefore Amazon FBA sellers do not need to use the same term repeatedly to rank their products. Each backend search term should include different specific phrases which will expand the potential for appearing in additional search results.

Exploring an appropriate set of backend keywords allows sellers to boost their product discovery levels while following Amazon’s platform regulations. The improved indexing ability lets sellers get ranked for multiple relevant search inquiries.

Optimize Product Titles with a Balance of Keywords and Readability

Amazon listings receive their main performance boost from the product title which stands as a crucial element in their rankings. The combination of targeted keywords with text that customers can easily understand produces superior rankings and click-through rates (CTR) in an efficient title. 

Both appropriate keywords and simple readable customer-engaging content need to exist in one title. Amazon provides limited character count for titles yet Amazon FBA sellers should maximize their word choice in this space. The optimal title for a wireless vacuum cleaner should appear as follows:

“XYZ Cordless Vacuum Cleaner – 22 Kpa Suction Power, Lightweight, 2-in-1 for Home & Car Use”

• The product title sneaks in essential keywords “cordless vacuum cleaner” plus “suction power” and “lightweight” yet adds useful information about being “2-in-1 for home & car use” to attract prospective customers. 

The title combines customer-oriented problem areas with essential features to create both visibility and product value communication.

Repeated use of keywords should be avoided in title content because it leads to clumsy and unappealing texts. 

The addition of excessive repeated words like “best vacuum cleaner” and “powerful vacuum cleaner” within the title does not enhance search rankings since it generates confusion in both readability and comprehension. Place vital keywords and product characteristics into the text in a natural way. 

Engaging and Emphasizing the Bullet Points for Optimization

The Bullet Points – This section of an Amazon listing is an opportunity to get in the features and benefits of a product, so this is an area to focus strongly on optimization.

 Not only is this a crucial aspect of Amazon’s ranking algorithm, but the bullet points are also directly visible to customers, so they must be keyword-optimized as well as persuasive.

When forming bullet points a good practice is to optimize them one by one concentrating from the beginning on the points that initially come to the head of product selling. 

Some of these can be size, color, durability, material, end use, etc. For instance, selling a waterproof backpack, bullet points should immediately communicate what makes that product special:

• Waterproof – Completely waterproof with sealed zippers to keep your things safe in any climate
• It holds a 15” laptop and has lots of compartments to keep you organized.
• Durable Materials – Constructed from heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant fabric for durability.

You can also include relevant keywords in the bullet points that help the algorithm understand what the product is and match it to customer searches.

• The keywords “waterproof design” and “heavy-duty fabric,” for example, might be associated with high-intent searches such as “waterproof backpack for hiking.”

Improve Your Product Descriptions with Long-Tail Keywords

As a result, Amazon’s search algorithm is skewed heavily towards long-tail keywords, with more specific customer intent.

• And while broad keywords like “coffee maker” might generate general traffic, long-tail keywords like “best coffee maker for small kitchens” or “easy-to-use single-serve coffee maker” can help sellers bring in more qualified traffic and increase conversions.

Long-tail keywords are usually less competitive which makes it a better chance for new or niche products to appear on top of the search results. Sellers can now target more niche searches with many relevant long-tail phrases scattered throughout their product description and not compete with larger, more established listings.

• A Amazon FBA seller selling a smart thermostat, though, can use long-tail keywords such as “energy-efficient smart thermostat for large homes,” “Wi-Fi capable smart thermostat for Alexa” and “programmable thermostat with voice control.” 

These phrases appeal to different kinds of customers, whether they want energy-saving features, compatibility with smart devices or straightforward programming. But do make sure not to go overboard with stuffing Amazon keywords. 

Get More Customer Reviews and Keep Ratings High

Customer reviews are one of Amazon’s most important ranking algorithm factors. The more positive reviews a product has, the higher it is likely to rank in search results, as positive reviews are indicators of trust and quality.

 Vendors need to keep gathering more reviews while maintaining high ratings in order to improve the ranking.

• Fortunately there are a number of techniques that will help you request reviews without running afoul of Amazon’s rules. One way to go is to utilize Amazon’s Request a Review button, which sends customers a standardized email asking for feedback on their order.

 Sellers can also request a review in their follow-up emails in a friendly way. For example, once a product has been delivered, you might say something as simple as:

• “We Hope you’re enjoying your new product! We appreciate reviews to help us improve and serve better.”

That would be Amazon Vine, where trusted reviewers can obtain free products in exchange for honest reviews – just another method to garner some reviews. Positive reviews enhance the reputation of the product, which not only raises rankings but also builds trust in potential customers.

Keeping high ratings is also essential. If you have a negative review, do something about it and try to resolve your customer’s problem. Handling negative feedback professionally demonstrates to potential buyers that the seller is considerate regarding consumer complaints, improving both reviews and conversion rates.

Optimize For Mobile Search And Voice Search

Mobile is where the brand is: Over 60% of Amazon shoppers shop and buy on mobile. Optimizing for mobile search correlates to increased visibility and conversion, making this one of the most important aspects of optimizing listings. 

MOBILE FRIENDLY: Listings must render quickly and use crisp, high resolution listing images with short bullet points and descriptions.

Ease of navigation and readability are key here, especially for mobile users, as they are frequently on the road. This includes making bullet points scannable and making sure that the most compelling features (and evidence) are front loaded. 

Most mobile users want fast access to information, so don’t use extended paragraphs that could overwhelm or confuse potential buyers.

• Amazon’s Alexa is also popularizing another major trending topic: voice search. With the increasing usage of voice commands for customers to search products, it becomes crucial to optimize for voice search. Voice queries are often more conversational, so you’d want to focus on natural language. 

However, instead of targeting “blender”, a voice search keyword might be “What is the best blender for smoothies?”

For voicing search optimization, encompass vocals that are: nearest for how persons speak. This strategy increases visibility in voice-activated queries, so you want your product to show up when someone asks Alexa for recommendations.

Improve Click-Through Rates (CTR) with Compelling Images and Pricing Strategies

Click-through rate (CTR) is an important factor in the Amazon ranking algorithm. Search algorithms favor items with a high click-through rates (CTR). Sellers must improve the Amazon CTR by working out high-quality listing images and attractive pricing ways.

An image is the first aspect your customer gets to see while scrolling through a search result. Engagement for a listing with high-resolution listing images showing the product from different angles are much higher. 

• For instance, if selling a coffee maker, include photos of the product in action, close-ups of its most important features, and lifestyle shots that help customers visualize the item in their own kitchens.

Another key consideration is price. If you can make the price and/or offer (bundling products for a discount, etc.) more competitive, this will help improve CTR rates by encouraging potential buyers to click on your listing.

• Promotions, such as limited-time discounts, can also be used by Amazon FBA sellers to create an urgency among customers. For instance, “Save 20% for a limited time” can stimulate visitors to click to buy. If you stay on top of competitor prices, you can regularly adjust your price based on this.

This means one can send a positive signal to Amazon’s algorithm to rank their product higher for better visibility to drive sales.

Keep Track of Performance and Adjust to Algorithm Changes

Amazon algorithm like A9 and A10 is constantly evolving so sellers must stay updated with changes. Sellers need to adapt their strategies when search ranking factors change, so regularly monitoring performance allows them to do just that.

There are multiple tools to measure listing performance, such as Amazon Seller Central, Brand Analytics, and third-party tools.

They help sellers measure keyword ranks, conversion rates, and overall listing health. You can analyze keywords and check if there is any product feature or feature that is still unable to bring on traffic.

Try Buy One, Get One (BOGO) Promotions for Amazon Listings

One of the simple yet powerful approaches when it comes to promotion is a Buy One Get One (BOGO) promotion that works well to increase Amazon sales and drive customer actions. 

This is a super great offer for both a typical first time buyer and every repeat customer, where one is getting some free offer on a purchase if the product qualifies the offer.

 If done correctly, BOGO promotions can help you gain better product exposure, acquire a higher customer base to purchase your product and help you attain greater sales — an indispensable weapon for the Amazon seller.

The Effectiveness of BOGO Promotions on Amazon

Deals are in an Amazon shopper’s DNA, and while BOGO makes sense functionally, it also plays into the instinct to make a beeline for the deal that provides immediate value. 

The idea of getting something extra for free or at a discount and completing the purchase resonates well with shoppers. That sense of extra value often leads clients to make larger purchases than they originally intended.

The competition on Amazon is fierce and if you can add a BOGO that might set your product apart from the competition. This is a deadline-oriented way of selling that can increase the conversion of visitors to buyers. 

Buy One, Get One Free — This model appeals especially to the compatible consumer, who wants to get the most out of the checkout process. 

• For example, if a shopper was only planning on buying one product, but sees that they can receive a second, free of charge, they are more likely to make the purchase.

Additionally, BOGO offers can increase Average Order Value (AOV) and encourage repeat purchases. And if shoppers are able to find the exact item they were looking for, they may even feel more fulfilled by their purchase, leading to positive product reviews, and greater customer retention.

How to Set Up a BOGO Promotion on Amazon

Setting up a BOGO on Amazon is a simple and straightforward process via Amazon Seller Central. So, here is a guideline about how to go-about implementing it.

• Log into Seller Central, Click on Promotions Tab:
• Navigate to the Advertising tab in Seller Central
• From the drop-down choose promotions and click on create new promotion.

Select the BOGO Offer Type

Click on the appropriate “Buy one, Get one” promo type There are different types of promotions with amazon, so please go ahead and choose the one that suits your needs.

Define Promotion Criteria

Configure the products that you want to offer with this BOGO promotion. Choose the promotional Buy One Get One type (e.g., a second item free or a second item at a given percentage discount), and supply any exclusions or limitations. You can simply apply it on selected colors or sizes of a particular item — say, a BOGO.

Set the Promotional Dates

Pick your promotion date range for start and end dates.  In the case of BOGO deals, the absence of a time frame makes it difficult for the consumers to realize the urgency and act swiftly, well, a definite timeline rectifies that.

 It may make sense to latch the promotion to a big shopping event, such as Prime Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday when traffic is up.

Monitor and Adjust

Check the performance of your promotion in Amazon Seller Central as soon as it goes live. Keep an eye on the sales volume, traffic on the product page, and the engagement with consumers. If the promotion goes well, you might choose to continue the deal or reproduce it with additional products.

Examples of Successful BOGO Promotions on Amazon

Below are some examples of successful BOGO promotions from Amazon sellers.

Health and Wellness Products

Supplement brands implementing a Buy One, Get One Free on multivitamins could see increasing sales — particularly since vitamins are an essential, repeat-purchase item. Health-aware consumers will surely seize the opportunity to stock up on their favorite vitamins.

• Deal: ‘Purchase 1 Bottle of High-Quality Multivitamins, 2nd for Free’
• Effect: In all likelihood, customers will buy the deal in bulk, rise the average order value and gain this product more appealing option against rivals.

Beauty and Skincare

Buy one get one free deals generally work great for things like facial cleansers or even moisturizers). A lot of the customers are using these products on a daily basis, hence a Buy One, Get One Free offer can facilitate customers to use different variants or stock them for long term use.

• Promo: “Buy one anti-wrinkle cream, get one for free!” Limited Time Offer.”
• Effect: This promotion can place some urgency into the customer and make them purchase on the spot rather than wait for the offer to disappear.

Home and Kitchen Appliances

BOGO deals are effective for kitchen tools, blenders, and vacuum cleaners, where the second item is a complementary product. A blender brand for example can provide a free jar for blender on the purchase of main unit which gives more value on the product for the customer.

• OFFER PRODUCT: Buy One Premium Blender, Receive an Extra Jar (yours free)
• The effect: This unfair advantage is targeted at customers who may already be on the verge to purchase the blender, helping them feel as if they are getting something unique for their money.

Fashion and Apparel

Apparel shops are also a great motivation for BOGO offers, and this goes especially for clothing or accessories. For buyers who want to shop that often and stock up on basics or experiment with various colors/styles, a t-shirt or socks Buy One, Get One Free is probably very difficult to resist!

• Product: Buy One Pack of 5 Cotton Socks, Get Another pack of Free!

• Why it matters: This could incentivize buyers to purchase multiple sets, and raise their overall spend. Well, it is easier to convert with more of something for the same price.

Tech Accessories

Things that are a perfect hit for buy one get one free items include phone cases, chargers and pair-connected headphones. Typically, consumers require more than one accessory for their devices, so a buy one get one free deal can lure them into purchasing additional items they may not have purchased otherwise.

• Your Product: “Get One Free When You Buy One iPhone Case!”

• Why It Works: This incentive purchase quickly gets users in the mindset to either gift the extra case or buy more for themselves, increasing both sales and exposure of the product.

Set Up Automatic Reordering for Popular Items

Automatic reordering is a method of effective planning for Amazon FBA sellers to keep their hottest items in the sale pipeline at all times, and meet consumer demand and sales goals. 

Sellers can set a default threshold for when they want to reorder inventory automatically and thereby stop worrying about running out of stock which leads to loss in sales and ensures a seamless shopping experience for the customers. 

By ensuring the availability of most in-demand products all the time, sellers can eliminate the out-of-stock issue disruption from their sales cycles.

Automatic Reordering: Why You Need It as an Amazon Seller

There is nothing more crucial to any Amazon FBA seller, especially those sellers that carry hot selling products, than maintaining Amazon inventory levels. A product that has solid sales but often falls out of stock will hurt your sale rank and sale volume. 

Since Amazon aims to provide a seamless customer experience, the algorithm favors products that remain in stock, and stockouts result in lower visibility in search results and lost sales opportunities.

Automatic re-ordering also helps ensure that top sellers are always on the shelf without having to manually track and reorder inventory. Not only does this strategy keep your product listings alive, it also simplifies the entire inventory management process for you, giving you time to focus on other parts of your brand.

Constant inventory levels also promotes customers confidence. If a customer finds that an item has repeatedly gone out of stock, they may opt to purchase from someone else instead. 

Automating the reordering procedure helps Amazon FBA sellers stay reputed in delivering the products timely with the number of products available that guarantee delivery and provide long-lasting & seamless service.

Setting Up Automatic Reorders for Frequently Ordered Items

The process for setting up automatic reordering for fast-selling products on Amazon is a bit more involved, especially if you are relying on tools built into Amazon, versus some third-party inventory management solution.

FBA Restock Inventory Tool of Amazon

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) sellers can take advantage of a feature Amazon has called Restock Inventory. The tool will assist with purchase orders generation automatically as soon as their stock level reaches a certain point.

• Go to Amazon Seller Central Inventory > Restock Inventory.
• Based on your sales history and available inventory, the tool will recommend what you should restock.
• You can choose a low level and when your inventory reaches that low Amazon will send you notification for reorder.

FBA Sellers: Create Automatic Reorder Alerts

In Seller Central, you can turn on notifications for out of stock or low stock products. It allows you to create alerts that will let you know when you are low on stock for your most important items that need to be reordered.

Such alerts will also remind you of the inventory replenishment schedule so products are readily available for sale.

Third-party inventory management software can make a world of difference for non-FBA sellers or those who need a more powerful feature set. They also integrate directly with Amazon Seller Central, and some of them have more advanced functionalities like auto reordering, higher-level forecasts and much deeper analytics.

They frequently offer automated order generation that can be tied straight to suppliers, cutting the time spent on manually re-ordering.

Forecasting Demand To Improve Accuracy

Incorporate demand forecasting inside your automatic reordering process. These tools allow brands to project upcoming sales trends, taking into account historical data, seasonality and market conditions so that it can restock items before they run low.

• For example, you might know that a product is well sold in some months (like seasonal products), then you can configure the system to reorder before the peak season starts. This lowers your chances of running out of stock at times that need them the most.

Track Lead Times and Adjust Reorder Triggers

Supplier lead time, or how long it takes for your supplier to get products to you after you place an order, is going to play a part in setting them up for automatic reordering.

Considering lead times, reorder triggers can be set beforehand to ensure that goods are available before running out. For instance, if your supplier requires 10 days to complete the order, initiate the reorder 10 days before the stock depletes.

Examples of Sample Automatic Reordering

Health Supplement Seller

• For example, a seller that foundations vitamins or dietary supplements can carry out automatic reordering to make sure their high-selling supplements stays in stock. 
• For example, if the seller finds that their Vitamin D3 is a consistent top-seller and sells out every month, they can use Amazon’s FBA tool or anyone of several third-party systems to automatically reorder every 20 days when the stock level drops to X.

Beauty Products Seller

One such category is beauty products, and beauty product sellers like the ones selling face masks or moisturizers can benefit significantly from automatic reordering. 

• For example, their anti-aging moisturizer sells out every fortnight. With a minimum inventory threshold (let’s say there are 10 unit) in their inventory management system, the system will automatically register an order to replenish inventory once it is below that specific minimum amount.

Tech Accessories Seller

For example, consider a tech accessory seller selling phone chargers or screen protectors who would want to implement demand forecasting to know when it will run out of stock, especially during peak shopping seasons like back-to-school season or Black Friday. 

Then, if the seller chooses the automatic reorder option, which is based on expected sales volumes, sellers can always be ready with the inventory when demand spikes.

Automated Reorder Best Practices

Keep a Balance of Stock

 One must keep an eye on the stock and the automatic reorder level should be placed at an optimum level. If you reorder early, you might end up with too much stock, and if you reorder late, your stock will be out.

Periodically Reassess and Make Changes to Settings

You will want to periodically check in to see if the reorder trigger settings you made initially are still relevant to your sales and inventory. Reorder points may need to adjusted as seasons change or customer demand shifts.

Connect With Suppliers for Easy Reordering

Automating your reorder process on Amazon is a great start but you should also automate your dealings with suppliers so orders can be fulfilled quicker and there are fewer bottlenecks down the supply chain.
