Amazon Prime Day: Seller Tips
This year, Amazon Prime Day falls on the 11th and 12th of July. It’s the perfect time for Amazon sellers to gain more customers and grow their business. So, without further ado, here are some tips to make the most out of Amazon Prime Day:
1. Inventory Preparation
Ensure you have enough stock to meet the potential surge in demand. Running out of stock can lead to missed sales opportunities and may negatively impact your seller rating. Check out our inventory management articles to find out more.
2. Optimize for Mobile
Many Amazon customers shop via their mobile devices. Make sure your listings look good on mobile by checking how the images and text display on smaller screens.
3. Optimize Product Listings
It’s crucial to optimize your product listings for visibility and conversion. This includes high-quality product images, detailed and keyword-rich descriptions, and competitive pricing. Make use of Amazon’s A+ Content feature to enhance your product description with visuals and comparison charts.
4. Create Unique Deals
Prime Day shoppers are looking for deals. Consider offering discounts on popular items, bundling products, or including free shipping. If you’re registered with Amazon’s Brand Registry, consider using Amazon’s Coupons feature to offer discounts.
5. Utilize Amazon Advertising
Invest in Amazon Advertising to boost your product’s visibility. Consider strategies like Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, or Sponsored Display ads. Also, consider increasing your advertising budget for Prime Day to reach more potential customers.
6. Provide Excellent Customer Service
With increased sales, comes an increase in customer inquiries and potential issues. Be prepared to manage this by ensuring your customer service is responsive and efficient.
7. Leverage Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
Using FBA can enhance your chances of success on Prime Day. FBA products are eligible for Amazon Prime’s one or two-day shipping, which can be a deciding factor for many customers.
8. Review Past Performance
Look at your performance during previous Prime Days or other big shopping days to shape your strategy. Identify which products sold well, which deals were most successful, and any issues that arose.

9. Plan Ahead
Amazon Prime Day can be a hectic event. To make the most of it, start planning your strategy and tactics well ahead of time. Look out for any updates from Amazon about the event date, and begin your preparations at least a couple of months before.
10. Stay Competitive
During Prime Day, competition is fierce among sellers. Keep an eye on your competitors’ activities and prices. Consider using a repricing tool to ensure your prices remain competitive throughout the event.
11. Promote Your Deals
Don’t rely solely on Amazon to promote your deals. Leverage your own marketing channels as well – like email newsletters, social media platforms, and your website. Alert your existing customer base about the upcoming deals and encourage them to check your products on Prime Day.
12. Lightning Deals
Lightning Deals are flash sales where an item features for several hours on the Amazon Deals page. Using them can be a great way to drive traffic and sales, but keep in mind, they require a fee and must meet certain eligibility requirements.
Conclusion
Amazon Prime Day can be a boon for e-commerce sellers, but it requires strategic planning and preparation. By optimizing product listings, preparing your inventory, and offering compelling deals, you can set your business up for success on one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.
