European Station Store Treasure (DOTD) opens a self-service reporting channel
As a display event with the highest traffic threshold, Zhendian Zhibao has always selected ASINs with excellent historical performance to participate. In the past, all sites had an invitation system, and must be reported through customer development and operation managers. However, along with the Coupons and Deals campaign, there is also a self-service declaration channel for sellers in the European Zhanzhen Store.
What is the treasure of the town store
Zhendian Treasure (DOTD) is a top promotion that impacts product sales through extremely favorable promotional prices within a limited period of time (24 hours or until inventory is sold out, which may reach 48 hours during the holiday season). Not only can it bring an instant surge in traffic and sales to products, but it can also make powerful products instantly popular and increase in popularity!

We love the Zhendian Treasure (DOTD) promotion, because a successful DOTD (DOTD) promotion can usually bring in 2 months of sales within 24 hours, which greatly helps the product rank!

How do I self-report the Town Store Treasure (DOTD) event?
From now on, European sellers can obtain applications to upgrade the Town Store Treasure (DOTD) campaign by reporting Lightning Deals. When reporting a flash sale, sellers enter the discount on products targeted to participate in the DOTD event as the discount conditions for the DOTD campaign. If the seller's Lightning Deal is eligible for a discount to upgrade the Zhendian Treasure (DOTD) campaign, the seller will receive an email from Seller Support on the Monday of the week before Zhendian Zhibao runs — informing the seller that the reported Lightning Deal will be eligible to upgrade to the DOTD (DOTD) upgrade next week.
Please pay attention!
The email will also include a link to the form for abandoning the Town Store Treasure upgrade. If you complete this form, we assume that your account has waived the opportunity to upgrade all of your ASINs to Deal of the Day (Deal of the Day) on all Amazon European sites in 2020.
If the seller does not submit an application to abandon the upgrade within the specified time, they will receive a confirmation email on Friday informing them that the previously submitted Lightning Deal has been upgraded to Town Store Treasure and will be launched next week. At this point, the ASIN Lightning Deal to be upgraded to Zhendian Zhibao will be automatically cancelled and automatically re-created within the system. No action is required from the seller during this process.
A little lost?Understood in one picture!
Sellers who have not submitted a Lightning Deal application but have an ASIN that meets the requirements for the Zhendian Treasure campaign may also be invited to participate in the Zhendian Treasure event. Seller Support will send out an invitation email with recommended ASINs every Thursday, inviting sellers to participate in the Town Store Treasure event by submitting a Lightning Deal. Sellers can report recommended ASINs by following the email prompts. If the submitted Lightning Deal application is eligible for the DOTD upgrade, the seller will receive an email from Seller Support on the Monday of the week before the DOTD program runs. After that, refer to the process as above.
Once the upgrade is complete, sellers only need to closely monitor the ASIN's pricing until Town Store Treasure starts running. Don't modify the price manually, as this may prevent the deal activity from being displayed. Our system will automatically adjust the event price to the event price you submitted.
Let's explain the steps to report a flash sale campaign for novice sellers
