Welcome back to the Listings Lounge!
Whether you're a new seller or tenured, Prime Day sales can help you get customers attention on newly launched ASIN's when you list your items correctly on Amazon. As Prime Day approaches, it's crucial to optimize your product catalog to maximize your sales potential during this high-traffic event. Understanding and adhering to Amazon's ASIN creation policies is key to ensuring your listings are compliant and ready for the influx of Prime Day shoppers.
Audit Your Existing Catalog:
✅Before adding new products, review your current listings.
✅Remove any under-performing ASINs to avoid hitting listing creation limits, if your account has limits. This will give you more flexibility to add new, potentially high-performing products for Prime Day.
Remember: Amazon evaluates your catalog daily against listing creation limit policies, so maintaining a lean, sales-driven catalog is essential.
Strategically Plan New Product Additions:
If you're planning to introduce new products for Prime Day, start early. Amazon limits the number of new ASINs you can create weekly, especially for newer sellers. Prioritize products with the highest potential for Prime Day success and begin creating these listings well in advance. This approach helps you build sales history and potentially increases your ASIN creation capacity as Prime Day nears.
Optimize Product Variations:
Prime Day shoppers often look for variety. Ensure your variation relationships are set up correctly to showcase all available options (like sizes or colors) on a single detail page. This improves the shopping experience and can boost sales. However, be cautious not to misuse variations – stick to true variations of the parent product to avoid potential penalties.
Comply with Brand Registry Rules:
If you're selling products from brand-registered companies, ensure you have the proper selling role assigned (Brand Representative or Reseller). Without this, your ability to create new ASINs for these brands will be limited. For Prime Day, focus on active products that are officially offered by the brand and you have their permission to sell the products.
Consider Strategic Bundling:
Product bundles can be attractive during events like Prime Day, but they must comply with Amazon's bundling policies. For consumables in categories like grocery, beauty, or pet supplies, carefully review the Product Bundling policy. Create manufacturer-approved multipacks or bundles that offer genuine value to Prime Day shoppers.
By proactively managing your catalog and adhering to Amazon's ASIN creation policies, you'll be well-positioned to capitalize on the Prime Day rush. Start your preparations early, focus on high-potential products, and ensure all your listings are compliant and optimized for maximum visibility and sales during this crucial shopping event by finding other content our teams have created which are listed below.
