Launching a new product on Amazon can feel like navigating a minefield—full of potential missteps that could derail your success. In this thought-provoking episode, we flip conventional wisdom on its head by exploring what guarantees a failed product launch.By inverting the success model, we uncover critical insights that can transform your approach to introducing new products. Our conversation dives deep into the psychology behind defining success metrics before you begin, revealing how unclear goals almost certainly lead to disappointing outcomes. We examine why competitive research isn't just helpful—it's essential for identifying your unique position in the marketplace and crafting messaging that resonates with your target customers.The episode delivers surprising revelations about inventory management, with one host sharing a cautionary tale of their "best launch ever" that ultimately failed due to stocking out at the critical moment. We explore why having an established audience creates an unfair advantage for sellers, allowing them to generate initial velocity without deep discounting while collecting valuable feedback throughout the development process.Perhaps most valuable is our discussion of differentiation in today's crowded marketplace. Your main image and title must stop the scroll, but your entire listing needs to deliver on that promise with conversion-optimized content. We break down why monitoring metrics during launch allows you to double down on what's working rather than stubbornly sticking to your initial assumptions.Ready to transform your product launch strategy? Listen now to discover why the biggest mistake isn't launching a product that fails—it's not launching at all. Your next successful Amazon product might be closer than you think.

Negative reviews don't just hurt your rating—they kill your conversions.

Dave reveals his brands' revenue numbers from Prime Day and talks about what the overall experience was for sellers on Prime Day, from large aggregators to smaller sellers. Did the transition from a two-day to a four-day format make more money than last year? Did it cause a dip? We examine whether Amazon's claims were BS in today's episode. Get mystery shopped for your brand and 2 competitors of your choice FOR FREE! Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Last year, Amazon's Prime Day results were lukewarm across the board with sellers seeing a 1.5x - 2x increase in sales except for a select few.  How was this year's Prime Day?  Well, Amazon claims that Prime Day 2025 was the biggest prime day ever compared to previous years. But is it really?  With Prime Day done and dusted, Dave reveals his brands' revenue numbers during the big shopping holiday to share how his experience was.  Dave also shares how 10 anonymous brands from various revenue numbers did during Prime Day, with data taken from SellerSnooper. Are Amazon's claims BS? Or are they technically correct? We find out in today's episode.  The Big Takeaway Initial reports indicated a 40% dip in Day 1 sales. Amazon claims that Prime Day 2025 was the biggest Prime Day ever.  8 out of 10 tracked companies saw sales gains during Prime Day, but how big were they?  Sellers reported varied performance, with some seeing modest gains. Many sellers felt Prime Day performance was average this year. Sellers should definitely be cautious about discounting heavily during Prime Day.

Ever feel like your Amazon business is walking a tightrope without a safety net? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of Brand Fortress HQ, we pull back the curtain on the five most devastating mistakes that can silently kill your Amazon brand—mistakes we've painfully witnessed both with our clients and in our own businesses.The first deadly sin might surprise you: changing your brand name on Amazon. We share horror stories of brands forced to choose between keeping misaligned brand identities or losing years of hard-earned reviews and rankings. One particularly painful case involved a client unable to use their actual brand name in product titles because they'd registered under a different name, thinking trademark issues prevented them from using their real one. The solution came too late, leaving them with an agonizing choice.When it comes to reviews, we reveal why preventing one negative review is worth far more than gaining multiple five-star ratings. Amazon's algorithm now weighs negative reviews more heavily, making reputation management crucial to your success. We share practical strategies for preventing negative reviews through better product design, clearer instructions, and thoughtful post-purchase communication—without violating Amazon's terms of service.The remaining sins—going out of stock, not knowing your numbers, and lacking an after-purchase program—can be equally devastating. We share a sobering account of watching a seller's sales chart resemble a "ski slope" after inventory problems, and why maintaining at least 90 days of inventory in the U.S. is essential for business continuity. We also explain which metrics matter most (hint: it's more than just ACOS) and why building your own customer list is your ultimate insurance policy against Amazon account suspension.Each of these mistakes represents a potential business killer, but they're all avoidable with the right knowledge and systems. Tune in to discover how to protect your brand from these common but devastating Amazon selling mistakes. Your brand's survival may depend on it. Have you encountered any of these challenges?

He is also the former CEO of BuyBoxer, which he built into a top 100 Amazon seller, managing over 120,000 products. Scott hosts the Smartest Amazon Seller podcast, which shares insights on navigating the Amazon marketplace.  In this episode… As global tariffs shift and economic uncertainty looms, brands are under pressure to make informed pricing decisions and maintain margins. Many rely solely on internal data for scenario planning, making it difficult to benchmark against the broader market. Without visibility into industry-wide pricing trends, how can businesses decide whether to raise prices or maintain their threshold? After monitoring price movements across product categories, pricing and market intelligence expert Scott Needham noticed that only 3% of products available on Amazon experienced price increases during the initial tariff period. He emphasizes that brands need external market visibility to justify pricing structures internally. Additionally, brands can leverage TikTok Shop and influencer-led strategies as growth engines, especially in fast-moving categories like groceries and supplements. Join Aaron Conant in The Digital Deep Dive as he hosts Scott Needham, Founder and CEO of SmartScout, to discuss pricing strategies and market trends in a shifting eCommerce landscape. Scott shares how brands can use data to avoid reactionary pricing, Prime Day discounting strategies, and the future role of AI shopping assistants.

The costly lesson of mismanaged agency relationships can create quite the hit to your brand. Mike shares a raw account of how trusting an Amazon management agency without proper oversight created a perfect storm of inventory problems that coincided with tariff changes—a mistake that will have a significant cost.Drawing from both perspectives—Mike as a brand owner who experienced the setback firsthand, and Jon as an agency owner who helps brands navigate Amazon—this conversation delivers crucial insights for anyone considering outsourcing their Amazon operations. The hosts dissect where things went wrong, revealing that the fundamental issue wasn't necessarily the agency itself, but rather the brand's approach of "abdication instead of delegation."The episode introduces a powerful framework for evaluating agency performance: measuring inputs before outputs. During the first 2-3 months of an agency relationship, brands should focus on concrete actions being taken rather than final results. This means tracking whether promised campaign structures are being implemented, listing refreshes are being completed, and proper keyword segmentation is occurring. Only after this foundation is established should the focus shift to performance metrics.Beyond tactical advice, the conversation challenges conventional wisdom about KPI selection. Why focusing solely on ACOS or ROAS can be misleading, as these metrics can be easily manipulated. Instead, they advocate for broader measures like TACOS (Total Advertising Cost of Sale) and contribution margin metrics that better reflect true business performance. Discover practical guidance on agency vetting, including interviewing multiple candidates, meeting the actual account manager who'll handle your business, and setting realistic timeframes for evaluation.Whether you're considering hiring your first Amazon agency or looking to improve an existing partnership, this episode offers an invaluable perspective from those who've experienced both sides of the relationship. Avoid the costly mistakes that even experienced brands can make when navigating the complex world of Amazon management.
