BOOST YOUR AOV WITH COMPARISON CHART UPSELLS
  • Create a comparison chart in your A+ Content (it shows up before Amazon's does)
  • Set up an upsell pathway
  • May require bundling or add-ons to increase pricing (use virtual bundles)
  • Use a similar Upsell process via Brand Stories.

    • Brand Story above is an example from Moment At Home
  • Cross-sell or upsell groups
  • This increases AOV - for FREE!
  • Goal: Improve margins

Strategic Moves For Your Brand

  • Presence: 

    Get a minimally viable Product Page established to capture current brand searches. Iterate from there.

  • SEO Path:

    Use Amazon and Google search data along with KW monthly sales to establish a SEO-path forward that will last for years.

  • Back-End Keywords:

    Pick relevant long-tail and short-tail keywords that enhance product discoverability.

  • Create Main Image Curiosity:

    Curiosity gets clicks. Find eye-catching elements to cheat into main images, that are within TOS. Track CTR changes.

  • Sales-Process Stack:

    62% of your sales will close in the image stack. Create an AIDA stack (that overcomes sales objections). Track Unit Session Percentage changes.

  • Keyword-Optimize Copy:

    The Amazon robot (A10 Algorithm) scours copy for Keyword Density to determine relevance and initial placement. Monitor KW density against top category ranking listings.

  • A+ Content:

    Manipulate the full array of A+ modules to craft a customizable UX (user experience), featuring captivating HD Images, Comparison Charts, and videos.

     

  • Amazon Branded Storefront:

    Create an uncluttered (read: advertising-free space) to showcase your products, with a cohesive shopping experience. A storefront not only helps increase your brand’s visibility on Amazon. But opens up SBA advertising.

     

  • Comparison Chart Margin Boost:

    Deploy A+ comparison chart modules to start cross-selling your product offerings. Also, build a value ladder, moving shoppers toward higher-margin products (left to right).

     

  • Pull A Benchmarker Report:

    A Benchmarker report helps you to see how the performance of their ads stacks up against category competitors. With detailed insights into costs, clicks, and conversions. Use it to set initial Ads performance targets.

     

Moves To Scale Amazon Sales

  • Maximize A+ Content: 

    Deploy A+ comparison chart modules to start cross-selling your product offerings. And/or build a value ladder, moving shoppers toward higher-margin products (left to right).

  • Test Affinity Campaigns:

    Target products, categories, and brands that share your demographic (not competitors) as a flexible pathway into new audiences on the Amazon platform. 

  • Bought-With Hack:

    Use Amazon "Bought With" feature to get placement on Affinity products - for Free. This can be done manually or with Affinity campaigns.

  • Organic Push-Over Technique:

    Use highly-targeted paid placement for your high-value keywords to push your listing to the top of the page in organic ranking. 

  • Brand Store Design:

    While Amazon seems stringent, it is actually very adaptable when you know how. Such as your Branded Storefront which has many options to craft a tailored appearance, functionality, and user experience.

  • Inserts to Lander:

    Place inserts in your products and drive incentivized traffic to a lander page - useful for getting reviews and gathering customer emails.

  • SBA Video:

    With an average 11.63% conversion rate, it is time to test Sponsored Brands Video to drive traffic to your Brand Store (requires store build).

  • Test DSP Retargeting:

    If you have the budget, deploy Amazon DSP (Amazon demand-side platform) to retarget shoppers who have interacted with your brand on Amazon, as well as those who have visited your website. Ads are shown on and off Amazon.
     

  • UGC Assets On Amazon:

    Gather your User-generated content (UGC) and use it on Amazon. These can be video assets or testimonials. Leverage them to show potential buyers what others think about your products to boost brand visibility and build trust. 

     

  • Amazon Posts:

    Use Amazon's latest social push (an attempt to take on Instagram) to your favor, by targeting Posts at your demographic.

     

  • Brand Referral & Attribution Boost:

    Get a 50% refund on your Amazon fees. If you generat traffic off-Amazon, consider the Brand Referral program to monetize traffic for better margins on Amazon. Use Attribution to track the economics.
