The promotion is a top priority when preparing for Prime Day. Think everything will be fine if you sign up for the event?
NO!NO!NO!In the following circumstances, there is still a risk that the reported event will be cancelled!
Four major elements in the investigation of promotional activities
1 ️ ︎ The promotional price does not meet Amazon's recommended maximum promotional price requirements.
2 ️ ︎ Any images (including text) of the promotion do not follow the style guide requirements.
3 ️ ︎ The quantity level of the product does not meet or is lower than the quantity set by the seller:
● Usable inventory is less than the promotional promised inventory
● The child ASINs included in the Lightning Deal promotion do not meet the minimum child ASIN coverage required by Amazon
4 ️ * Because a sub-ASIN is not compliant*, the entire promotion will be non-compliant unless that child ASIN is removed from the promotion.
* If the ASIN is grey, it is not eligible for the promotion. If your ASIN is seller-shipped, you'll need to ship it by Amazon instead.
If your ASIN is already set to be shipped by Amazon, the product does not meet the promotion requirements.
⚠️ Any violation of Amazon policies may result in improper participation in Prime Day promotions.
As Prime Day approaches, sellers are advised to proactively monitor upcoming promotions on the Seller Central Promotion Management page to ensure that they always meet the eligibility requirements, and also pay attention to email reminders.
Do a good job in advertising optimization, and your product is the shining superstar of Prime Day!
Please review the following advertising optimization tips and advertising campaign mistakes carefully!
Ad optimization tips
1 ️ * Create all of them, create ads for all products that can be advertised, and make maximum use of peak season traffic.
2 ️ ︎ Dynamic bidding to increase the overall advertising budget, and flexibly increase and decrease advertising campaign bids.
3 ️ ︎ Combined marketing, combining “promotion + advertising”, and using multiple products in combination.
4 ️ * Extend advertising, extend advertising time, ensure full use of the budget, and maximize benefits.
5 ️ ︎ Always online, don't start or stop advertising, or stop immediately after the peak season. Continuous advertising can lead to a higher return on advertising investment.
Ad campaign misconceptions
❌ Place all products in one advertising campaign
We recommend setting up campaigns by product category, type, brand, or price.
❌ Use high-traffic but irrelevant keywords
Make sure the ad keywords are highly relevant to the product; such ads are more likely to win bids and get better placement in search results.
❌ Self-delivery ASINs do not need to open ads
Starting ads for self-delivered ASINs can also effectively increase exposure and sales.
❌ Ads are not enabled on all sites
Advertising is recommended on all sites to get more traffic.
Listing is responsible for facing the consumer. If the facade 🈲️ stops showing, then why not talk about peak season sales.
If the following occurs in the listing, the product or content will be prohibited from being displayed, which directly causes consumers to be unable to search or browse your products!
7 major factors that prohibit display
1 ️ ECT If the main image is missing, it will not be displayed.
2 ️ * Missing brand attributes, product description attributes, or key attributes may be prohibited from being displayed.
3 ️ * Displaying product information with a name longer than 200 characters is prohibited.
4 ️ ︎ Displaying products without a valid UPC is prohibited.
5 ️ ︎ Displaying products without a value in the “Category (Product Type)” field will be prohibited.
6 ️ ︎ Displaying incomplete products in the “Clothing and Accessories” category is prohibited.
7 ️ CY If the product image requirements are not met, it may be prohibited to be displayed.
🚩 Take an example
Images are very important to customers, so quality matters. Choose images that are clear, easy to understand, information-rich, and attractively presented.
When self-checking images, pay attention to image compliance and image quality assessment.
Basic requirements for image compliance
1 ️ ︎ The main image should have a pure white background, and the RGB color values are (255, 255, 255).
2 ️ * The main image must be a professional photograph of the actual product (must not be a graphic, illustration, physical model, or placeholder), and must not show unsold accessories, supports that may confuse buyers, text that is not part of the product, or a logo/watermark/embedded image.
3 ️ ︎ The longest side of the image should not be less than 1,600 pixels. If this minimum size requirement is met, the scaling function can be implemented on the website.
4 ️ * The longest side of the image must not exceed 10,000 pixels.
5 ️ ︎ Amazon accepts JPEG (.jpg), TIFF (.tif), or GIF (.gif) file formats, but JPEG is preferred (the server does not support animated images in.gif format).
6 ️ * The main image of the shoe should use a single shoe, facing the left at a 45 degree angle.
7 ️ ︎ Main images of women's and men's clothing should use model photos.
8 ️ * All images of children and baby clothes should be taken in a flat position (without the use of models).
Image Quality Assessment Guidelines
1 ️ * The image matches the product description in terms of size, color, etc.
2 ️ ︎ The product can be identified on the image.
3 ️ 8.3 The picture is a photograph, not a painting.
4 ️ ︎ The angle at which the picture was taken highlights the advantages of the product.
5 ️ ︎ Amazon accepts JPEG (.jpg), TIFF (.tif), or GIF (.gif) file formats, but JPEG is preferred (the server does not support animated images in.gif format).
6 ️ ︎ Close-up images will not be obscured by highlights or shadows.
7 ️ ︎ The product occupies at least 85% of the image screen.
8 ️ 8.3 The picture depicts the complete product.
9 ️ * The background is simple and clear, and will not interfere with the product itself.
