Prime day preparation guide
For the coming prime day, the seller should prepare for the following early:
1. Optimize product list
Due to the increase of prime day’s passenger flow, your store presents complicated details under the microscope. In order to improve the visibility and conversion rate of your product list, and obtain the incremental profit that can be brought by the holiday, it is essential to make your list look good.
2. Apply for lightning deals
70% of consumers buy discount products during online activities. More limited time displays will greatly stimulate consumers’ desire for shopping, but it is equally important to consider the issue of inventory and advertising expenses.
3. Formulate detailed advertising strategy and execution plan
As a seller or brand, you should give priority to optimizing your Amazon’s advertising strategy of promoting exposure and conversion rate – testing new advertising types, obtaining profitable keywords, identifying negative keywords, and preparing advertising budgets in time to facilitate prime time and subsequent advertising campaigns.
4. Make inventory plan matching with sales plan
On prime day, as well as other high traffic times like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you have to know how to balance your inventory with holidays. This will not only have a positive impact on your sales performance indicators, but you will also provide a frictionless shopping experience, turning high-value potential customers into repeat consumers.
