So understanding how to get on the top of listings can make or break your Amazon business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Share-of-Product-Searches-100.jpg\" alt=\"Share Of Product Searches 100\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be selling directly on the Amazon platform, but it\u2019s still essential to optimize your listings to rank in the SERPs. One of the most important Amazon selling tips is arguably making sure that search engines can easily identify keywords and understand what you are offering so you can rank accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding Profitable Amazon Keywords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/amazon-research-keyword-tools\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11016412\" data-lasso-id=\"20976\">free and paid keyword research tools<\/a> out there for Amazon sellers to benefit from to pinpoint keywords that have a high search volume, are not overly competitive, and have the right search intent behind them.&nbsp; Using a tool like Jungle Scout is invaluable for <a data-lasso-id=\"15167\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/product-research\/\">product research.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can<a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/external\/G43381?language=en_US\" data-lasso-id=\"15168\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> increase sales on Amazon<\/a>, you have to understand the two main ways to get your products to appear at the top of search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazon SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon SEO consists of optimizing your product listings so they rank high in the Amazon search results with the related keywords. When you optimize your product listings with the right keywords, you\u2019ll get better rankings and more visibility which leads to more sales. And more sales means more money in your pocket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-3.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon SEO\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You want your products to appear on the first or second page of the Amazon listings for your specific product category. If your product appears on the third page or further down the pages, you\u2019re not likely to make too much money on your product sales, no matter how great your item really is. If people don\u2019t see it close to the front of the list, it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019re going to see it at all. Therefore, they won\u2019t be buying it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How your product ranks is <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/amazons-a9-product-ranking-algorithm-beginners-guide-329801\" data-lasso-id=\"15169\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">determined by an algorithm<\/a>, A9. When an Amazon shopper enters keywords into the search engine, they are immediately directed to pages of products matching their search. So, how does Amazon direct shoppers to the right pages? This is where the amazon\u2019s algorithm enters the picture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon wants to sell the products so the company gets its cut of the profits. The algorithm was created to increase the number of successful transactions. <strong>There are two steps to the A9 process: keyword filtration and purchase likelihood.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The algorithm first considers the keywords entered and targets your product if the keywords appear in your listing. Then, Amazon looks at how well your products have been performing. The products that contain both the keywords and have high performance history will rank higher.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-4.jpg\" alt=\"When you use the right keywords in your product listing and make the content details enticing, this will help to improve your ranking according to the algorithm. \" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use the right keywords in your product listing and make the content details enticing, this will help to improve your ranking according to the algorithm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve collated a list of valuable keywords for a product, make sure to include them in your product title, description, and other areas throughout your product page. Think about your brand name, product name, material, color, size, quantity, and more to make sure you are utilizing all the relevant keyword opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s important to make sure you use keywords where they fit, don\u2019t be tempted to stuff them in at every given opportunity. Your listing\u2019s content still needs to read well and be informative to consumers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazon PPC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon offers its<a href=\"https:\/\/advertising.amazon.co.uk\/sponsored-products\" data-lasso-id=\"15170\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> advertising and marketing services<\/a> for sellers, allowing you to target keywords and get products in front of your target audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a budget available for advertising,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlabs.com\/blog\/getting-started-amazon-sponsored-ads\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Amazon offers multiple types of ad campaigns<\/a>, whether you want Amazon to automatically place your product ads where they think is relevant, or you prefer to create manual campaigns and target specific keywords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-9-592x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon offers multiple types of ad campaigns\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/amazon-ppc-campaign-structure\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11024885\" data-lasso-id=\"22784\">Amazon PPC ads available,<\/a> whether you prefer to create innovative custom ads or stick to display ads. What\u2019s more, you only have to pay per click, so you can benefit from tons of brand exposure and visibility without necessarily having to pay for each person that views your ad.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to sponsored advertising, you can start small and use the data from your ad campaigns to educate and optimize future strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2 Have an Adaptive Pricing Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitive pricing is key if you want to compete with established brands and stand out from the crowd on Amazon. Unless your product is 100% unique or offers a feature that consumers can\u2019t get elsewhere, the lower you can get your prices while still making a profit, the better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To go one step further than being competitive with your prices, you should aim to be adaptive too. Market demand is always changing, with new competitors joining the scene all the time, making it essential to be proactive in making sure your prices fit with the times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-10.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon repricing\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For those just starting as an Amazon seller or those with a small inventory, you can change your prices manually or set rules for when your prices change according to what your close competitors are charging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re offering a wide range of products though, algorithmic repricing is the way to go to maintaining profitable profit margins. This method involves an<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.repricer.com\/resources\/amazon-repricing-software\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> automatic repricing tool<\/a> using complex algorithms and real-time data to lower or raise a seller\u2019s prices. Reputable repricing tools like Repricer.com consider a wide range of factors that not only help new sellers to compete but also achieve the Amazon Buy Box.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3 High-Quality Photography<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your imagery is one of the deciding factors in whether a consumer will make a purchase or not. Ecommerce brands should be prepared to invest significant time and money into getting your product photography right if you want to catch people\u2019s eye and sell yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blurry or grainy photo can subconsciously immediately put someone off and establish a negative first impression of your brand. Don\u2019t neglect your photography and make sure to offer browsers plenty of photos to display different angles, product detail, and your product in use.&nbsp;You can\u2019t rely on having the lowest price, you need a strong brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take your photos against a white and clutter-free background so they\u2019re easy on the eye. The harder a consumer\u2019s brain needs to work to imagine themselves using or wearing your product in real life, the less likely you are to make a sale. It should be easy for potential buyers to envision the product in their home and understand how it will benefit their day-to-day life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the budget available to work with professional ecommerce or product photographers, go for it. There is even the option to offer 360-view images for people to view your product from every angle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazon Image Guidelines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-8.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Image Guidelines\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/display.html?nodeId=202073580\" data-lasso-id=\"15173\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specific guidelines<\/a> regarding product images. You want your photos to be eye-catching and appealing but you also need them to adhere to the guidelines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some image guidelines to keep in mind for FBA sellers when selling your products on Amazon. Make sure to consider the FBA fees and follow these guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Main image has to be a professional photograph or cover art<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The image must be in focus, accurate, and feature realistic colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The product photo has to fill at least 85% of the image frame and the background must be white<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The image can\u2019t contain any unnecessary text or graphics, such as watermarks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amazon recommends images be larger than 1,000 pixels on one single side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>500 pixels minimum and 10,000 pixels maximum on the longest side of the image<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recommended image is 1:1 square with 2,000 x 2,000 dimensions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum zoom of 5:1 aspect ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum file size of 10mb for each image<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JPEG images are preferred but TIFF, PNG, and GIF files are allowed, too<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sRGB or CMYK color mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specific product identifier and file extension must be included in file name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The images should be compressed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By adhering to these guidelines, not only will you be following the Amazon rules but you\u2019ll also be using photos that accurately show your product. This will be well worth it once the sales start rolling in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#4 Get Into Amazon\u2019s Buy Box<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next of our Amazon selling tips is to try your utmost best to appear in the Buy Box.

Once the item has been entered in the Buy Box, it\u2019s likely this will mean money in your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Win The Buy Box<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what the Buy Box is, you want to do your best to get online shoppers to use the Buy Box in your product listings and get those products into their cart.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, though, unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/how-to-sell-on-walmart-marketplace\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15175\">Walmart Marketplace<\/a> that provides sellers with a clear strategy for winning the Buy Box, Amazon keeps their cards a lot closer to their chest. You can increase your chances of winning the buy box by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Competitive pricing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stock availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/learn\/amazon-fba-business\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15176\">Amazon FBA<\/a> or seller-fulfilled Prime<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick shipping times (2 days or less)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seller ratings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product reviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product bundles&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excellent tracking rate and full tracking information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On-time delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low refund and cancellation rates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should aim to incorporate a number of these factors into your selling strategies to enhance product visibility, not only appear in the Buy Box but elevate your brand reputation and dominate the Amazon marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#5 Benefit from Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/services.amazon.co.uk\/services\/fulfilment-by-amazon\/features-benefits.html\" data-lasso-id=\"15177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)<\/a> is a program that allows sellers to hand over a significant amount of the hassle of fulfilling orders to Amazon themselves. You can store your inventory in their warehouse, where Amazon will pick, pack, and ship all orders for you as and when they come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although using the FBA program isn\u2019t the only way to be a successful Amazon seller, it allows you to offer Amazon Prime to consumers and benefit from the incredibly short delivery times that come with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Prime originally launched over a decade ago in 2007, but in the UK, it now has more than fifteen million members, who tend to spend far more on average each year than non-Prime Amazon users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using the FBA program and having the Prime badge on your listings, you can establish an immediate level of trust with consumers and differentiate yourself from products that don\u2019t offer Prime delivery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are higher fees involved with using FBA, but both your sales and overall strategy will see a benefit by leaving you with more time to channel into other areas of your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6 Use Automation To Get More Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaining some positive reviews on your listing is essential if you want to gain a consistent income from your Amazon sales. Reviews are the first place people look when shopping online, with a glowing review being all that you need to push a consumer to make a buying decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start building a solid foundation of reviews for your products, get in touch with customers shortly after your product has been delivered to ask for a review and some feedback. This way, if your customers do have anything negative to say, you can resolve the issue before it becomes a negative review on your listings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even use Amazon to automatically request reviews from your customers and ask for a star rating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6.png\" alt=\" Get More Reviews\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedbackwhiz.com\/blog\/fully-automate-amazon-request-a-review-button-a-new-feature-from-feedbackwhiz\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazon Review Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feedbackz is another Amazon review software program that provides automated follow-up email funnels to get feedback from customers and let you know how you\u2019re doing in the sales and delivery departments.

After all, the more emails that are opened, the more likely it is you\u2019ll receive a response which can help you tailor your ecommerce business offerings to suit the needs of customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon review software is extremely useful as it\u2019s tailored to your specific selling method and gets you customer feedback with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"># 7 Provide Exceptional Customer Service&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t sit back and relax once your Amazon listings are optimized and launched, there are plenty of other aspects to becoming a successful Amazon seller. One of these is customer service \u2013 you need to go above and beyond when dealing with both prospective, current, and returning customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to customers in a professional, helpful, and meaningful manner is crucial for establishing a successful business model and ensuring customer retention. When responding to a customer query, aim to solve all problems in your response and remove any potential obstacles preventing an individual from making a purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you get any negative feedback or complaints about your products, tackling these positively and professionally can turn a negative exchange into a profitable one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Manage Amazon Customer Service&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecommececeo.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-7-1024x491.png\" alt=\"How To Manage Amazon Customer Service \" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to handle the customer service aspects yourself or let Amazon do the job for you.

However, at this time, CSBA is only available to select sellers and by invitation only. But, stay tuned, as this option may become available to more sellers in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you handle the customer service duties for your company, know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelreply.com\/blog\/view\/amazon-feedback\" data-lasso-id=\"15180\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon feedback<\/a> is an invaluable resource for you to use. The comment section and five-star rating scale make it possible for customers to leave feedback on the seller\u2019s performance. These can actually make or break a seller. When shoppers are comparing products from different vendors, they often look to the customer reviews section to see the rating and individual comments before making a purchase from a specific seller. With this in mind, you need to watch Amazon feedback carefully and react accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tailor your customer service with Amazon feedback in mind. If anything needs to be addressed with your delivery time, shipping method, etc., you want to do so ASAP. Make sure to respond to customers promptly, politely, and fully.

These include a <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/external\/G1801?language=en_US&amp;ref=efph_G1801_cont_G521\" data-lasso-id=\"15183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seller code of conduct<\/a>, selling policies, product and listing requirements, shipping policies, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for your seller\u2019s account to remain in good standing, you must ensure that all rules and regulations provided by Amazon are strictly followed. These might seem overwhelming at first, but after you\u2019ve been selling for a while, you\u2019re sure to know what to do and what not to do when selling on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#9 Proactive Inventory&nbsp;Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling products on multiple channels can get messy without proper inventory management. Although you can benefit from the FBA program, you still need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/inventory-management-software\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15184\">manage your inventory<\/a> effectively. Amazon uses the inventory of brands as the main ranking factor when deciding where and when to display certain products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Letting your inventory fall too low or letting a product go out of stock completely can not only impact your sales but can influence the overall rankings of your products overall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#10 Content is Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An overarching Amazon selling tip to keep in mind is that content is king. If you want to succeed as a professional seller, ensure that your product listings are well written and informative to attract buyers. When describing your products, you should aim to tell a story of your brand, be creative, and use bullet points to spell out your product\u2019s key features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Writing Product Descriptions For Amazon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazon product listings should be optimized to showcase the best sellers and entice customers to make purchases. When you write your product listings, don\u2019t just add the specifics, make the content creative and engaging. You want shoppers to envision themselves using your products and eagerly anticipate when their new Amazon products will arrive at their door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t stop with your product listings either as you can use creative content across all your channels to build a positive brand reputation, including promoting similar products. Blog posts on your website and guest posts on other relevant niche websites can help get the word out on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/best-products-to-sell-on-amazon\/\" data-lasso-id=\"15185\">products you sell on Amazon<\/a>. This will also help put your brand name on the minds of many.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media is also a free tool for your online business to use to your advantage, with Facebook and Instagram offering plenty of highly visual ways for you to demonstrate your products and direct people straight to your Amazon listings. Amazon understands the importance of promotion on social media; hence you can even create your own social media discount codes to use, offering your audience an incentive to click through to your product listings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready To Increase Amazon Sales?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes down to Amazon selling tips, your selling strategy is what you make of it.
