How did Amazon's unpopular products break through the traffic pool from a dozen orders to 200 orders?

You've probably also experienced this situation: after the product went live, the ads started, the listing was optimized, and some orders started. About 10 orders a day, with occasional fluctuations, but I haven't been able to pick them up. So I started to worry: Isn't the price low enough?Does the ad still need to be restructured?Did I choose the wrong product?

These aren't necessarily in the wrong direction, but — is it possible that you're just limited by “this speech”?

1. This product has limited traffic, which determines your “single quantity limit”

What is “this product term”?
Simply put, it refers to the core keyword most directly related to your product name, that is, the product term. For example, selling a “cold compress massage ball”, then:
Cold massage roller ball is the term for this product. They are accurate, have a high conversion rate, and are also the easiest target of choice in ads.

But the question is:
Precise ≠ quantitative.
For example, if you throw a cold massage roller ball, the number of searches per month is probably only a few hundred.
Even if you achieve a 20% conversion rate, it's hard for anything to explode.
It's not that the ad didn't run well, it's that you simply don't have a bigger word pool to run.

2. If you want to break the circle, you can't just stick to this product statement

If you want to go from a dozen orders to hundreds, you can't just ask “what product am I?”
And I want to start asking — “What else could this product be in anyone's eyes?Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.
At this point, you need to break out of the “this article” framework and start broadening the structure of the traffic pool.
Here are the four common expander directions in the MoonSees Nepheans style of play:

Take our “massage ball”, an ordinary product. After using gift traffic, sales also increased several times. This product is relatively unpopular, but the profit is good. No matter the daily situation, sales volume is about ten to dozens of orders, but on Valentine's Day this year, because of the gift tag, it took off on the 9th. The 10th reached its highest point. It sold 200 orders, and fell steadily on the 13th.

It's worth mentioning that we don't match the price of competitors' rolls. Everyone else is 7.99,9.99,15.99, while we are 19.99, and our sales volume is higher than theirs.

You might be selling functional gadgets, but as long as you pack the logic, you'll have a chance to enter this “gift traffic pool.”

Take a copywriting perspective: “Health gadgets for your boyfriend”
Another scenario: “Practical gifts for elders during the holidays”
At this point, your product is more than just an “ice massage ball”,
It could also be an “easy soothing health gift.”

3. If there is no problem with the product, the problem may be that you have only entered one traffic pool

Some products can actually drive many types of traffic, but you only use the smallest word pool.
This is actually a step that many people often overlook after operating a card.

This article is the starting point of advertising, but it must not be the end point.
The single volume breakthrough did not rely on “multiple investment” of this product, but on “rebuilding” the traffic pool structure.
Before launching, ask yourself, “Who else needs this product?Abbottt, Premiere Creative’s creative director.
Good traffic targeting is the first step in the “Aquaman style of play,” but it is also the most common mistake many people fall into when advertising.
