We just launched the Auto Campaign harvesting and negation feature on AiHello AutoPilot that will link your Auto Campaigns to Manual Campaigns to help you increase sales. This setting is available on your AutoPilot settings. A screenshot is show below. This setting is only available on Auto Campaigns and helps you migrate customer search terms to manual campaigns. The high performing customer search terms can be moved to a manual campaign with high budget and higher ACoS to help you increase sales. The low performing customer search terms can be moved to a different manual campaign with low budget and much lower ACoS to help you remove ad spend on unwanted customer search terms. These terms will also be added as negative exact on the AutoCampaign. While you can transfer the high performance and low performing keywords to the same manual campaign, its strongly recommended to keep them separate. We have new exciting features coming up this month to make you truly standout amon...

We had plenty of updates for March and almost all of them were suggestions by our customers. We strive to make you business a success and since we charge majorly for success we work tirelessly to ensure your success as that means we grow as well. Here are some quick updates 1 Time Machine: Now you can go faster or slower with AutoPilot velocity. Its highly recommended to always set it at Normal speed. However there might be situations where it pays to risk money to save time. In this case, set the AutoPilot to make faster updates which will risk money to find better performing products/campaigns/keywords faster. This is also useful for just launched products or campaigns which are taking longer to get the first sale. If your campaign is closer to your target ACOS and you are happy with the revenues, you can slow down AutoPilot to ensure that it doesn't make rapid drastic changes. 2. Direct access to AutoPilot logs Another great suggestion from one of our custom...
We are excited to share with you an upgrade to our AutoPilot algorithm. The new changes includes bonus points if your keyword has more than average conversion performance of your campaign and penalty points if the keyword is performing worse relative to other campaigns. This means that if a specific keyword has good conversion ratio in the last quarter and it is currently performing poorly, autopilot will be more patient and provide more time for it to recover.Conversely if a keyword has historically poor conversion and also the current conversion performance is poor, it will be double penalized.This effectively brings out the best keywords on top and removes the clutter of non-performing keywords. Remember that the more keywords you have, the longer AutoPilot will take to fully optimize your campaigns. Additionally there are bonus points if the keyword has generated more than average sales in the last quarter and penalty points if the keyword has generated subpar sales. Comb...

Being able to start your own brand along with an international business was not something that was easily available to entrepreneurs in the past. Getting products designed and made, having them shipped, then finally marketed and sold used to be a very strenuous process. It can still be a lot of work. However, with the way that Amazon is structured today, this option has never been more easily available for anyone. Right now you can start your Amazon business with only a few hundred dollars, and you can do it all at your computer without ever having to hold or ship any inventory. This is all thanks to Fulfillment by Amazon (Amazon FBA). There are a few steps to take in order to go from 0 to having a product available to be sold on Amazon to millions of customers.

For some sellers, putting their campaigns on AutoPilot will reduce their AdSpend and make their products profitable.

CTR and CVR columns are available at Profile, Campaign, Group, Keyword and Targeting expression level. CTR is the percentage of people that look at your ad and click on it. CVR is the percentage of people that view your product and buy it.Your CTR and CVR rates depends on the category you are sell...

External traffic, or exposure to your products from sources other than Amazon, has long been a useful tool for Amazon merchants. Off-Amazon traffic provides several potential advantages, such as improved ranking power, more brand recognition, and the capacity to control your traffic source and develop a clientele. Cost, however, prevents many vendors from generating their traffic. It's true that many of the most effective sources of outside traffic, like Facebook Ads and Google Ads, may be pricey, especially when you're initially getting started. As a result, a lot of sellers opt to continue with Amazon PPC because it is more lucrative initially rather than investing in the long-term advantages of external traffic. Amazon is now launching a new initiative that will completely alter the playing field. The Brand Referral Bonus programme encourages sellers to generate their traffic, which makes it much simpler to be profitable when using paid advertisements or any other type of ex...

This is an important and critical step while setting up your auto-campaigns on Amazon Advertising console/ Amazon seller central. While creating sponsored products auto-campaigns ensure that you set your auto campaigns to target groups by selecting "Set bids by targeting group" See screenshot below. This ensures that you are not overpaying for placing your products on substitutes and complements both of which usually have lower conversions, higher click throughs and lower sales ultimately resulting in very high acos. Select "Set bids by targeting group" and then change the bids for lower performing group and set it to low bids. Unfortunately this highly optimal setting is neither the default option of Amazon and to top it off, it's well hidden. This used to be the default option in 2019-20 and now the default option is the same bid across the group which results in extra expenditure for displaying ads which won't deliver optimal results. This was a...
How to lower your amazon seller fees The digital era has opened up new opportunities for those that are willing to start a business. If you are searching for a spot in the online market, Amazon can become a great marketplace for your company. In order to sell on Amazon, there are two options: either we take care of the entire selling process, or we rely on “Fulfillment By Amazon” (FBA). With FBA we basically "rent" space at the warehouses of the American company, which from that moment is the sole responsible of processing your shipments. For many companies, this represents a great advantage, since the logistic management of an e-commerce business can become a real headache. However, despite the attractiveness of this system, paying FBA fees can cut into your bottom line. To combat overcrowding in their fulfillment center, Amazon began instituting a penalty on a low Inventory Performance Index (IPI) for their third-party sellers, who provide just over half of t...
