Top tips for sellers to prepare for Amazon Prime Day sale 2023:

It is important to be prepared for one of the most anticipated sale events of the year – Amazon Prime Day to make the most of the surge in demand. Below are a few tips that will help you be export-ready:

1. Inventory management

Due to the increase in purchases by customers during the sale period, it is important to be ready with the required inventory for seamless international shipping and delivery. Ensure that enough quantities of your bestselling products reach the Amazon warehouse for quick deliveries.

2. Optimized product listings

Remember to optimize your listings ahead of the Amazon Prime Day sale. For instance, if you export textile to the USA, a customer would want to know what material you’ve used, what are the designs, if there are any variations in colours, etc. This is the information you provide through product listings. The better and more descriptive your listings are, the higher the chances are for a customer to purchase your product. Using Amazon A+ content, you can add and modify product descriptions, images and texts.

3. Advertising through offers

Customers love a good deal. Having the right deals and discounts on your products during the Prime Day sale can increase your sales. Amazon Advertising provides a visibility boost to your brand and products. Ads appear in highly visible placements, within shopping results or on product detail pages. You can create branded stores and be featured at the top of the results page under sponsored tabs.

4. Use ethical tactics

The modern-day customer is more aware than ever. It is suggested that you only follow ethical tactics to fully use the Amazon Prime Day sale to your benefit. For instance, it is not a good idea to increase the list price just to offer increased discounts to the customers during the sale period. For assistance in pricing, you can use Amazon’s Automate Pricing – a tool that can adjust your prices quickly and automatically against your competition to increase your chance of becoming the Featured Offer.

5. Social media promotion

Social media is one of the most successful marketing channels for businesses across the globe. If your business social media accounts, then you can leverage them to promote your products and create awareness on offers during the Prime Day sale.
