How to maximize the performance of your store during Prime Day
As you already know, there are countless brands/sellers on Amazon and all of them are trying to get a piece of large customer base during the sale events. Boosting your store’s performance won’t be easy. In order to sell more and to properly rank your products on Amazon, you need to consider A LOT of elements: conversion rate, sales, clicks, purchase frequency, SEO (title, bullet points, keywords) relevancy score, search terms, paid advertising… the list is long and we are not going to explain all the factors here but you might find very useful to read this Amazon Product Rank Quick Guide for Sellers Updated to 2021. Here are some of the winning strategies to attract new customers and increase sales before, during and after Prime Day. You can gain a significant advance on your competition by following these first easy and actionable 11 steps for Amazon Sellers:1. Use The New Amazon Cashback Promotion for Prime Member

- Prime members in the US earn a $10 credit to use on Prime Day when they spend $10 or more on select small-business products from June 7, 2021, to June 20, 2021.
- Amazon Prime Store cardholders in the US earn up to 10% back on purchases of select small-business products from June 7 to June 20
- Highlight your small business by sharing the Spend $10, Get $10 promotion with customers on social media during the promotional period.
- Use the hashtag #SupportSmallwithAmazon on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to join the conversation.
2. Use Lightning Deals frequently
One of the quickest and best ways to increase sales during Prime Day is to utilize Lightning Deals. Lighting deals are quick deals with high visibility across the platform that generically last only for a few hours. This tool is time-limited but is an excellent choice for increasing sales momentum and to gain visibility not only during the Prime Day but also before and after. Keep in mind that a new store can’t benefit a lot from this strategy as there are a lot of requisites such as number of reviews, rating quality, sales history etc.3. Make the right Inventory Management
Sort out your inventory (Amazon FBA / FBM) before Prime Day and that will save you from a lot of trouble once the big selling begins. Take a close look at your listings front and back end especially if your store holds a lot of items. Rearranging and putting them into categories will help a lot and your store will look more professional and attractive to customers. Make sure that for each product you are advertising on and off Amazon you have enough stock and you have the buy-box. READ MORE: HOW TO MAKE YOUR AMAZON BUY BOX EFFICIENT4. Use Amazon Coupons
Using Amazon Coupons is one of the easiest ways to increase conversion rate and to gain more visibility to your products: products that show coupon discounts are most likely to convert into sales (just a small 5-10% discount is enough) and will receive a green badge that will make them stand out from the competition both on organic and paid search results. Pro Tip: a higher absolute number is always better in the eye of the buyer ($7 is better than 5%).5. Make sure to Optimize Your Amazon Product Images for CTR and CVR
You would expect your Amazon PPC budget and sales to see a big spike up during Prime Day. What you want to do is optimize your campaigns (below on point #11) and to make sure you have the best CTR (click through rate) on your ads. Your main image (and first characters of your product title) will mainly be responsible for that.
6. Use Product Bundles
As you already know, selling a lot of items is your main goal on Prime Day. In order to make this happen, you should also consider creating bundles that complement each other. That way, you’ll move a lot of products for less time. Try to combine products that are often purchased together, or that are complimentary one to the other. Offering bundles is a great way to drive awareness and extra clicks to your listings that are not getting enough. Making the right use of product bundles will also help you get higher margins on your product sales.7. Strengthen your Brand Presence
There are no sales if there’s no or poor brand awareness. In case you’re a new Amazon Seller, you should do your best to generate new leads that will convert into paying customers. The best way to let people know about your store is to leverage Social Media. This funnel will attract new people to your store and subsequently increase sales. Consider running a few ads or contacting influencers in your niche. Blogs, YouTube reviews, and even micro-blogging channels as Tik Tok and Twitter are today more important than ever.

A well written and well presented listing is a lot more likely to convert your visits into sales. Also, getting a lot of visits that eventually do not convert into sales, is definitely a NO-GO for any Amazon seller, as this would affect very negatively your conversion rate, relevancy score and product rank.

9. Run Competitor Analysis
Knowing your rivals is a good start if you want to bring some new customers to your shop. First of all, you should see the difference between yours and your competition’s product listings. Once you’ve analyzed that, give your best to find the gap and fill it with your offer. Read reviews (on and off Amazon), Q&A section and other useful information that you might find hidden in the listing. Another thing you should do is to track the high volume keywords of products similar to yours, and then target their ASINs by utilizing Amazon Sponsored Ads. To track keywords, we suggest to use Zonguru’s KOF (Keyword on Fire) get it here with an exclusive discount ($1 for the first month!).
10. Get Creative with A/B Testing
Amazon has recently introduced the possibility to run A/B Testing to your listing title, and we are sure that in the future they will introduce similar features to other elements of your listings. If you have the option “experiments” enabled on your account, we encourage you to use it. Get creative not only with title’s keywords but also with other elements in your listings. Try to find out what are your potential customers interested in. You can do this by experimenting with Amazon A+ content and description. Try out higher and lower prices and see where you are. If instead you’re looking for a tool that provides full control on A/B Testing, you should definitely check Pickfu and their guide.11. Optimize Your PPC Advertising Campaigns


12. Use External Paid Traffic
We explained above how important it is to make good use of Social Media, Influencers and micro blogging sites. Do not dismiss paid traffic in other platforms such as Google and Facebook / Instagram or other deal sites such as Dealnews.com, Slickdeals, Fatwallet. Remember: Amazon loves external traffic. Driving high number of clicks to your listings with good conversion rate will help you a lot to increase your product rank and relevancy score. See more in the video below:13. Make Sure Your Account is Safe from Attacks and Illicit Competitors Actions
Last but not least: you want to make sure that all your efforts don’t go wasted right before Prime Day. The past few years have been incredibly busy for Amazon’s profile hackers and black hat players.

As you can see, there is a lot to think about during Prime Day preparations, and many tactics you should consider and use. We will share with you also a 3-phased Prime Day strategy that can complement the previous steps and provide you with better selling possibilities:
- As mentioned above, in order to sell products, your brand has to be present and people need to be aware of it. This doesn’t happen overnight so you’ll need to start attracting potential customers a few weeks before Prime Day.
- The best way of doing this is to utilize social media marketing campaigns and start promoting your brand to a customized audience.
- Advertisement is selling your products. Once you’ve attracted enough traffic to your store, it is time for conversion. Leads can become customers if they’re presented with the right ad content at the right time. If done right, this action will engage them and they’ll start filling their shopping carts.
- Prepare for an aggressive ad campaign during Prime Day and don’t forget to utilize every step from a previous strategy
- A great thing about Prime Day is the possibility to reach a lot of people and use that information for remarketing them a few weeks after. A lot of people will browse through your store but won’t buy anything.
- Most of that traffic are potential customers, so don’t miss the opportunity to reengage and convert them. Target them later and try to sell again.
