From 5/15–5/22, Amazon US/Canada Marketplace will host a Coupon Party
May 4, 2023
The 2023 Q2 Coupon Party for the US Marketplace and Canada Marketplace will be held from May 15 to May 22, local time.
Coupons are one of Amazon’s most effective promotional tools for sellers in the startup phase and during new product launches. They offer advantages such as low barriers to use, controllable budget investment, and suitability for everyday use, and can help sellers increase product traffic, reach target customers precisely and efficiently, and even stimulate purchases and boost sales.
Coupon Party can be seen as an upgraded version of a regular coupon campaign. During the Coupon Party event, products participating in the coupon campaign get maximum exposure!In addition to the regular storefront display for coupon products (coupon-dedicated promotion pages, product listings in search results, product detail page Listings, and the checkout page and shopping cart where buyers confirm added items), Amazon will also display third-party seller/vendor products with coupon discounts on the Amazon.com and Amazon.ca marketplace homepages and coupon pages.
Sellers can set up coupons by following the regular coupon setup steps, ‼️The coupon date only needs to overlap with the Coupon Party period:

Second step

If you have too many products and a limited budget, how do you choose which products to submit for coupons?
See the 【Amazon Coupon Recommended Product List】 to find products that are more likely to be purchased and help you create coupons more efficiently.
Amazon coupon recommended product list is predicted by Amazon based on historical data, customer needs, and purchasing tendencies, and updated weekly in the backend. These product recommendations are intended to give sellers a reference when submitting coupons and help increase sales. Sellers can select a single product from the recommended list or select multiple products at the same time to apply for a coupon campaign.
🔍 Path: Seller Central -> Advertising -> Coupons -> Create a new coupon
⚠️ This recommendation is optional; sellers can choose some or all products from the recommended list to create coupons based on their business needs, and they can still create coupons for products that were not recommended. The setup method is the same as the original method.
01 Will participating in the Coupon Party affect the Prime Day price?
For products that were not submitted for Prime Day Deal recommendations, there is no need to worry about this. We recommend that you actively participate in Coupon Party to help your products get more traffic and increase sales.
For products already submitted for Prime Day Deal promotions, because price requirements vary by Marketplace and promotion type, we recommend reviewing the Prime Day Deal submission price requirements for the US and Canada Marketplaces to make sure they meet the pricing requirements.
