Everything you should know about Keyword Harvesting/Mining

Image
Keyword Harvesting can be puzzling... When dealing with Amazon Advertising or Amazon PPC optimization, Keyword Harvesting/Mining plays a key role. It is significant in Manual and Automated, AI-driven campaigns for driving discoverability and conversions on Amazon.  For those, who may need a kickstart- “Keyword Harvesting/Mining is finding the most relevant keywords according to your products or services and targeting these right keywords in your ad campaigns.” In other words, it will tell you which keywords you need to bid on to boost your PPC game.  Why exactly should you care? Because of the reality: “One of the benefits of Amazon is that a shopper is rarely starved for choice. Yet, despite being presented with pages of options during a search, almost half (45%) of shoppers say they typically don’t scroll past the second page of results, per a report.” “The research also found that 12% of consumers limit their browsing to the first page of results. But this doesn’t mean clicks to the

Why Should You Bother Selling Online?

Image
If you are an owner of a business that produces goods and have been questioning on whether to start selling online or not, then you must have considered whether there is actually any benefit to setting up a seller profile on any marketplace. Thing is, online marketplaces are eerily similar to the shopping mall you might be selling your goods at. Shopping malls tend to be the hottest destinations for consumers, and that is what might have made you consider selling there. Market places that are online such as amazon and eBay are actually reconstructions of the same business model, just put online. So, which one do you choose as a seller?   Established marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, and product portals, will attract a lot of new customers to your products or services. Not only that, you will have an audience to sell to which is larger than the combined audience of all your establishments that exist offline. If you are the type of person who is not convinced without statistics, it

Pricing Your Products Correctly

Image
The pricing model that you have used on other sites is not applicable when it comes to pricing your product at Amazon. In all honesty, setting your price on Amazon isn’t quite the gamble that it can be on other sites. Your item will be offered at a fixed price rather than being up for auction, so there’s really no point in setting a price that will put you way ahead of your competition. As a matter of fact, lowballing is something Amazon sellers complain a lot about on the Seller Boards. Amazon seller Treebeard, who specializes in books, told us that on Amazon his prices can actually be higher than on eBay, because his item will stay up on the site for sale until the right buyer comes along. He has no need to try to time his sale in order to “catch “the right buyer. Experienced sellers agree that competing on price alone is not the way to build profits on Amazon. Finding the best price to sell at can be...difficult. As in any large marketplace, sellers come and go on Amazon. Inexperien

Playing By The Book: Trying To Win The Buy Box

The bottom line is, it is really hard to the buy box if you are just starting out as a seller. So what is this buy box? When browsing on Amazon, customers who navigate to a product’s main page and click on the “offers” links below the product description (as indicated by the red circle on the screenshot below) will be able to have a look at the total number of sellers who are offering a certain product. The thing is that since multiple sellers are allowed to sell the same product, you are all competing for the buy box as well. And, if there are more sellers for a particular product then you are going to have a tough time getting that sweet, sweet spot. Nearly 70% of the total business on Amazon happens on the buy box, so you should pay attention to this. Here are a few things that Amazon wants you to know if you want that revered box: Pricing You need to price your products competitively. Customers tend to buy prodcuts which have a low price.

How to use next-generation tools to reach the consumer

One of the traditional examples that are put on how new technologies can change business strategy and can make a company a successful bet is Amazon. Amazon is the recurring example of how to use next generation tools to reach the consumer. The company has accumulated information, and they know the consumer is the key to its success.
