Just like you need a salesman at a local store to persuade your customers to buy your product, you need a product catalog for your online business. It takes care of providing all the details to the customers to help them buy your products.

Having a catalog is easy. Here’s what you need to focus on:

● Create a simple, easy to understand product page title.
● Add all details about the product like product color, size, specifications, who/where can it be used, etc.
● Every Amazon product needs at least one image. The main image is what your customers see while searching. So make sure you add high-quality, information-rich images that are clear and easy to understand. Amazon has general image standards to help you while uploading product images. You can also add product videos to show how it works.
● It may not be possible to include every detail in the product description. You should add frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help your customers make a buying decision.

FBA helps you store your inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment centers and takes care of your shipping. Fulfillment By Amazon lets you focus on more essential aspects to grow your business.

● Once you enroll for FBA, you get a Prime badge. It means you get unlimited free one-day and two-day delivery options. And this is what most of the customers want now. It helps build customers’ trust and loyalty.
● With FBA, you may get to see an increase in your sales by three times. Joining FBA makes your products more visible and more competitive, increasing your chances of getting more sales.
● As an FBA member, you get a stress-free Amazon operation. We take care of all the logistics like maintaining your inventory, taking care of your packaging, shipping, delivery, and returns. You can focus on growing your business.
● With Cash on Delivery (CoD) extensively used in India, you can fulfill your orders using Pay on Delivery facility through FBA, and get the funds deposited directly in your bank account.
● FBA has a flexible payment structure, so you pay only for the services you use - no additional subscription fees, no minimum units, and no start-up fees.

The fastest way to get visibility to your product and gain customer’s attention is through advertising. At Amazon, we feature sponsored products through which your product gets discovered on more visible places like the first page of search results and related product detail pages. This makes it easy for any customer to find your product, which may increase your chances of landing a new sale.

Amazon ads are cost per click. Running them is in your hands as you get to decide the budget and choose how much to bid per click. Your bidding can be as low as Re. 1. Once you launch your ads, you can analyze their performance metrics and can modify accordingly for more sales.

All the customers look forward to deals and sales. Sellers should leverage special occasions and festivals to offer lucrative deals. We offer opportunities like Diwali sales, Great Indian Sales, End of the season sales, and many more, where sellers can potentially attract more customers and sales.

● You can set different types of promotions like offering a discounted rate for your product or applying a ‘Buy One Get One Free’ deal.
● You can also choose your promotion criteria, whether you want to give offers on the purchase of a minimum quantity of your product or when the customer spends a minimum amount.
● The best part - it’s a stress-free process. You can auto-schedule your promotions, including the start-to-end date along with time, and set a tracking ID for each purchase made.

Once your product promotion starts, just sit back, relax, and watch your sales grow.
