Podcasts about amazon news

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. It's time for another episode of the Retail Round-Up, March edition! From a new fee structure on promotions to a longer Prime Day event and expanded advertising capabilities, these updates could reshape how brands approach pricing, marketing, and overall strategy. Joining us today are resident experts Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media at Acadia, and Armin Alipahic, Operations Team Lead. Make sure you tune in to find out more!   KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Ross, and Armin discuss: Amazon's New Fee Structure for Deals & Coupons – Amazon is introducing performance-based fees for Lightning Deals, Best Deals, Coupons, and Prime Exclusive Discounts starting June 2nd. These changes could significantly impact brands' profitability, particularly ahead of Prime Day. Prime Day Extended to Four Days – Amazon quietly announced that Prime Day 2025 will be a four-day event, giving brands more time to compete but also raising concerns about increased promotional spending. Amazon's Push Into TV Advertising – The launch of Complete TV aims to streamline TV ad buying, including both linear and streaming placements. This move aligns with Amazon's broader strategy to dominate the traditional TV advertising space. Search Query Performance (SQP) API Launch – Amazon is making SQP reports available via API, allowing brands and tech providers to automate and integrate search data more efficiently. This could be a game-changer for search optimization and ad performance tracking. Steeper Discounts for Better Visibility – Amazon is incentivizing brands to offer discounts of 40% or more by promising additional deal placements, though the specifics remain unclear. However, higher promotional costs may make deep discounting unsustainable for many brands.

Ever feel like you're banging your head against a wall trying to get your Amazon ads approved? You're not alone. When a mystery thriller author's cover featuring a bloody knife was rejected because it looked "too menacing" and appeared to be "pointing at the consumer," we knew we had to address this frustration head-on.The absurdity reaches new heights when you discover Amazon approved the print version with the identical cover but rejected the ebook ads. This is just one example of Amazon's maddening inconsistency across its various platforms and departments. While the ads team remains vague and often contradictory, other Amazon departments like A-plus content provide clear, specific feedback. Romance authors face similar arbitrary judgments about how much skin is acceptable on covers, with guidelines that seem to shift without warning.Our battle-tested advice? Channel your inner toddler. Be persistent, submit multiple support tickets, provide examples of similar approved books, and don't take the first "no" as final. We've seen countless cases where persistence pays off, including our mystery thriller author who eventually got approval after multiple attempts. Whether you're dealing with ad rejections or even having your book mysteriously pulled from the platform, advocacy works. Remember: Amazon's only consistent trait is its inconsistency.Are you struggling with a specific publishing or marketing challenge? Email us and we'll dedicate a show to solving your problem!

Establishing your brand is hard to do through channels like Google and Facebook, but Amazon offers an easier opportunity. Durk Price is a 3 decade veteran of ecommerce and digital marketing and the Founder & CEO of eAccountable. Durk reveals how to set your brand up for success on Amazon, what ROAS your should expect from your campaign, and whether you should start on Amazon or on your own website. Takeaways:So much of starting a direct-to-consumer brand online comes down to the brand. Many brands that struggle in other ecommerce channels have found great success when they began to sell on Amazon.It is very time and cost-intensive to build a brand through Google or social media and even once you've made your investment, the traffic will not be very high quality. However, Amazon offers high-quality traffic to brands at a fraction of the cost.High-quality traffic is traffic that converts at a high rate, which depends on your campaign's lifetime. Early on it's good to get a 1:1 ROAS (Return on Ad Spend), while mature campaigns should have 3:1 or 4:1 ROAS. Starting a business on Amazon allows you to go to market faster than through other channels because you don't have to worry about things like the ecommerce platform, shipping, customer service, etc.When you're starting your company, it's better to start on Amazon, but if you do want to have a website, you should have that website point back to Amazon. This way you only need to track inventory for one channel while also getting the other perks of FBA.When you drive external traffic to your Amazon listing or storefront, your listing will receive big benefits including an improved organic rating, lowered cost of paid traffic, and increased ROAS.You need to update your product descriptions on an ongoing basis because not only do consumer trends shift, but the way consumers search for products changes along with how Amazon serves up results.Quote of the Show:“When you've got a Prime badge on everything, it's a lot easier to sell” - Durk PriceLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/durkprice/Email: durk@eaccountable.comCompany website: https://www.eaccountable.com/Shout Outs:Helium 10Ways to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTubeAmazon Legends is sponsored by Argometrix, the authority on, and leading supplier of, competitive intelligence for online retail.

Most people know about optimizing your title, bullets, and A-plus content to include keywords, but today's guest knows how to find hidden keyword fields that can push your listing up the rankings. Nisan Bal is the Head of Amazon Advertising at Seller Interactive and has over a decade of experience in all aspects of E-commerce. Nisan shines a light on the challenges of selling on Amazon internationally, the additional ways to add important keywords to your listing, and how you need to track and use your KPIs from Amazon. Takeaways:Selling through Amazon in different international markets that happen to speak the same language is not as easy as copying and pasting the listing from one market to another. For example, a listing for cookies in the US would need very different keywords than if you were selling the same product in the UK. While both markets are predominantly English-speaking, there are many differences between each market's dialect. Your backend search terms are extremely important for Amazon's algorithm. While the customer will not see these terms, they are still indexed by Amazon and can make a big difference, even if you've already optimized the rest of your listing. To access your backend search terms, start in Seller Central, go to your inventory page, and select Edit Listing. There you will find one field for keywords that allows up to 250 characters per listing. When adding keywords, you don't need to separate each term with commas, just a space is enough. For longtail keywords, you will need to hyphenate the terms. Mercifully, Amazon does not count those spaces against your 250-character limit. If you aren't filling out the 50 characters of space that you have for alt text on each image in your A-plus content, you are missing out on valuable real estate that could be helping your search rankings. You can use a space to separate these keywords as well.At a base level, you should be tracking your Amazon KPIs weekly and analyzing the trends in the data so that you can make informed decisions to grow your business. Quote of the Show:“Analyzing that trend, that's the most important thing. Just looking at it for the last 30 days, you can't make any judgment there unless you know, “Okay, where was I 30 days before that?”” - Nisan BalLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nisanbal/Email: nisan@sellerinteractive.comCompany website: https://sellerinteractive.com/Company website: https://linktr.ee/outgiveWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastYouTubeAmazon Legends is sponsored by Argometrix, the authority on, and leading supplier of, competitive intelligence for online retail.

Selling on Amazon from the start of a company's launch provides unique perspectives because of the unique challenges and opportunities it comes with. Today we have two great guests, the first of which, Catherine Harpe Neal, is the Director of eCommerce at Parch Spirits Co and also runs a foster home for dogs. Along with Catherine, Ila Byrne is the Co-Founder of Parch and has some amazing experience from leading innovation at Diaggio. You'll get some great advice on the process behind launching on Amazon, how to build out your brand story using Amazon, and what it takes to assemble a great team.Takeaways:One of the most important aspects of building a lifestyle brand is educating consumers and much of that comes from working with partners in existing industries.Deciding to sell on Amazon is not just something you can do on the side of your business. It is a massive sales channel and adding that to your company requires you to adopt and implement an entirely new set of standard operating procedures (SOPs).Some of the SOPs you need to introduce to hit the ground running on Amazon include how you package orders, ASINs, and FBA and FBM decisions. Amazon is putting massive amounts of effort into promoting all 3rd-party sellers to use their FBA fulfillment service.Even though you may use FBA, it's imperative to have everything in place for FBM in case of an inventory or supply chain issue. Although you might be using an agency to help with your Amazon operation, you also need someone internally that can own everything to do with Amazon.Building out your brand through Amazon means that you can reach customers across the US while also telling your brand story through the pages of Amazon that can match the brand world that you have created through all of your other channels.Quotes of the Show:“Amazon has incentivized 3rd-part sellers enough to, in a positive way, force your hand to fulfill via FBA” - Catherine Harpe-Neil“You can't really launch a brand, especially a CPG brand, without Amazon these days” - Ila ByrneLinks:Catherine Harpe-Neil LinkedInIla Byrne LinkedInParch WebsiteParch InstagramParch Amazon StorefrontWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTube: Amazon Legends is sponsored by Argometrix, the authority on, and leading supplier of, competitive intelligence for online retail.

There are so many smaller Amazon sellers out there that aren't living up to the great potential they have. However, Ruben Alikhanyan, the founder of PAS Agency, is helping those sellers find success and build the value of their brand. You'll learn all about what you need to have when creating an Amazon brand, how to properly use the Amazon Brand Registry, and what is holding your conversion rates back.Takeaways: Having the right creative content in place when you are initially building a brand on Amazon strengthens the conversion which makes the growth much faster.Some of the best categories for underperforming brands to find success in include kitchen appliances, kitchen, accessories, toys, and sports.An Amazon brand's story plays a valuable role in both selling to customers as well as the valuation that the brand would receive from aggregators.If you aren't looking at it strategically, you won't find success on Amazon. Amazon wants sellers to create brands that will have longevity and will flourish.If you have identified the right keywords and still have a low conversion rate, the problem lies within your Product Details Page (PDP). On the PDP, if your SEO is strong and it's being indexed, look to your graphics as the cause of the low conversion rate.Having a recent set of data from your Amazon brand is not enough. You need other, older sets of data to give you perspective on things like conversion rates, CTR, etc.The main reason that conversion is so important is that it impacts your bottom line, your top line, and how the Amazon algorithm treats your listing. Quote of the Show:“There has to be planning, strategy behind what your logo is.

Today's guest has walked many miles in the shoes of Amazon Sellers and has helped many others sellers along the way. Lesley Hensell has been a seller on Amazon for over a decade and is the Co-Founder of Riverbend Consulting. Lesley helps other Amazon Sellers who have been suspended get their accounts reinstated. You'll hear how to approach writing your suspension, what Amazon is looking for in your Plan of Action, and how to escalate a problem within Amazon. Takeaways: When your account is suspended you need to vent and blow off some steam so that your frustration does not show up in your appeal to Amazon. You need to be reasonable in your appeal if you actually want to get reinstated.When appealing your suspension, you need to find the root cause even if you don't believe the customer complaint or other reason for the suspension. Finding the root cause means taking a very objective look at your business and repeatedly asking why.Amazon wants to see your Plan of Action (POA) in your appeal. The first step is to find the root cause and fix it. The second step is to show how you have addressed those which you have “wronged”. The third step is to show how it will never happen again.Amazon loves to see SMART goals, dates, and lots of details in the third step of your POA. It shows them how seriously you're taking this process. The Amazon Seller Performance investigators handle 20 cases per hour, which means they are only spending about three minutes looking at your appeal. Because of this, you need to put all of the pertinent information up top and keep it concise.Make sure to have someone else read your appeal to give an outside perspective and reexamine the root cause and the plan to fix it. To escalate your suspension appeal, you can get it to the Executive Seller Relations team by emailing jeff@amazon.com with the primary email for your Amazon login. Make sure the subject line is compelling and include your token number in the first paragraph. Quote of the Show:“If you get down and upset, you're not going to solve anything” - Lesley HensellLinks:LinkedInRiverbend Consulting websiteRiverbend Consulting Phone: 877-289-1017Project Retail websiteWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTubeAmazon Legends is sponsored by Argometrix, the authority on, and leading supplier of, competitive intelligence for online retail.

Because of the limitations placed on the global supply chains by the pandemic, Just In Time inventory is no longer viable for many businesses. In light of this, businesses must get more people from more countries involved in sourcing their inventory. Scott Welker-Reyes is the VP of Operations & Administration at Fermob USA and has tons of experience in eCommerce and sourcing inventory from around the world. You'll hear about how to find international sourcing partners, what to consider when placing your next order, and why your business should choose FBA or FBM.Takeaways:There are ambassadors from other countries that work in the US whose job is to help businesses find sourcing partners in their home countries. These can be a great resource for discovering alternative suppliers.If your product requires multiple pieces of different materials, once you find a manufacturer for one of the parts, they likely already know other manufacturers who can make the rest of the parts.As a result of the supply chain issues over the past few years, businesses need to hedge their bets and order over and above what they would normally use. Most forecasting models have been made useless from the recent shortages.The biggest cause of increases in domestic prices for both companies and consumers is the pierce of ocean freight. Trans-pacific freight costs have risen up to 500% and that is if the cargo can even get loaded on a ship.Amazon has created an expectation for consumers that if they order something today, they should have it tomorrow. This is not the case with large items like furniture and wholesale distributors have struggled because of it.For furniture brands, the choice to use FBA needs to be carefully considered because of the shipping costs incurred by the seller and the higher risk of items being damaged during shipping due to undertrained and overburdened staff. If you have a large offering of products that also come in many different colors, consider paring those options down when selling on Amazon and only offering 6 colors instead of 24.Quote of the Show:“At this point in time, Just In Time, inventory just doesn't work any longer” - Scott Welker-ReyesLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-welker-reyes/ Personal Website: https://scottwelkerreyes.com/ Company website: https://www.fermobusa.com/ Shout Outs:USPSWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTube

Amazon has evolved so much and brands that started as vendors are seeing the benefits of transitioning to sellers. Craig Leslie is the VP & Director of Ecommerce at San Diego Coffee, Tea, & Spice and the Co-Founder & Director Of Ecommerce at LonoLife. Craig breaks down the differences between Vendor Central and Seller Central, why Brand Registry is so crucial, and how to capitalize on your buy box.  Takeaways: While Vendor Central allows you to update some content for your listings, Seller Central offers much greater control of both the content and the pricing. Conversely, on Vendor Central, Amazon can set the price to fit whatever their goals are.To make changes on Vendor Central, the brand is reliant on Amazon to make the changes and then review them through their slow-moving process. As a seller, you can split up your products to have some sold through Vendor Central and others through Seller Central. The key to any brand looking to sell on Amazon is to register on Brand Registry, this will protect your brand and your buy box.When you are selling on Vendor Central, you are selling products to Amazon at a wholesale price. Whereas with Seller Central, you are selling products at retail price through Amazon.Your Seller Feedback Rating is critical for optimizing the buy box.  Overlooking this can hurt your conversion rate. Sellers have 60 days to challenge feedback and request that it be removed.Quote of the Show:“Amazon has trained their customers to want product in 24 to 48 hours” - Craig LeslieLinks:LinkedInEmail: craig@craigleslie.comTwitterSan Diego Coffee Co. websiteSan Diego Coffee Co.
