🧐 How Should You Choose Products to Sell?
by Seller_z3k8APxGfbQEK
Amazon replied

As you consider expanding your Amazon business to international marketplaces, choosing the right products is crucial. This guide will help you strategically select and introduce products that resonate with customers in new markets.

Why Product Selection Matters

📍 Different markets have unique consumer preferences

📍 Cultural, climate, and demographic factors influence buying decisions

📍 Successful products in one country may not perform well in another

📍 Proper research can uncover untapped opportunities

Step 1: Analyze Your Current Best-Sellers

Start with what you know works:

  • Identify your top-performing products in your home Amazon store
  • Analyze key success factors:

→ Customer demand

→ Seasonality

→ Competitive advantage

→ Profit margins

Consider how these factors might translate to new markets:

  • Will seasonal products align with the target country's climate?
  • Do cultural differences impact product relevance?
  • How does pricing compare to local alternatives?

Step 2: Diversify Your Product Offerings

Cast a wider net to gauge market response:

  • List a variety of products beyond just your top sellers
  • Include complementary items or product variations
  • Start with lighter inventory to minimize risk

Benefits of a broader selection:

  • Quickly identify which products resonate with new customers
  • Adapt your strategy based on early performance data
  • Minimize risk by not over-committing to specific items

Step 3: Conduct Thorough Marketplace Research

Dive deep into your target marketplace:

  • Review Amazon's best-sellers in relevant categories
  • Analyze new arrivals and trending products
  • Identify gaps in product offerings or unmet customer needs

Extend your research beyond Amazon:

  • Explore local ecommerce sites and marketplaces
  • Read industry publications and market reports
  • Consider partnering with local experts or consultants

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Use Amazon tools like Market Basket Analysis to understand purchasing patterns
  • Monitor customer reviews in target markets for product improvement ideas
  • Stay flexible and be prepared to adjust your product mix based on performance

🔑 Key Considerations:

  • Compliance with local regulations and safety standards
  • Packaging and labeling requirements for each market
  • Currency fluctuations and pricing strategy
  • Shipping costs and logistics for bulky or fragile items

📑 Next Steps:

1. Create a shortlist of potential products for each target market

2. Develop a testing strategy to introduce products gradually

3. Set up tracking to monitor performance across marketplaces

4. Plan for inventory management across multiple locations

💡 Remember: Successful international expansion often requires patience and continuous learning. Be prepared to adapt your strategy as you gain insights into each new market.

Significant decrease of sales through Amazon
by Seller_i3BQXQMmRlwip

I am selling toys and I have noticed a significant decrease of sales through Amazon last months (around 30-50% in comparsion with same period of last year). I am doing the same things like in the past (checking the supplies, prices, etc), also I have a positive account health.

Have you notices same problems, or is this a common sign of any sales in Amazon, or were there some changes in the system or new rules?? Dont you know what could be the reason?

Slow Sales
by Seller_LV7u1trC9Mscd

Hi,

So this June our sales have been great, no half term/bank holidays in the UK so for the first month in a while we have had a full swing at it with no interruptions,

Everything was going well until about Wednesday when sales have just seemed to fall off a cliff, we haven't changed anything, our buy box percentage is pretty much the same, we haven't been altering prices it has just totally died.

Has anyone else had anything similar in the last week? Just seems strange how we have gone from flying to virtually nothing in the space of a few days,

Prime Day for Low Value Listings
by Seller_CO0cXywweWPc4

Does anyone have experience of promoting low value products on Prime Day events? I know everyone goes looking for TV's etc on these sale days and we generally have a quiet few days when it's on (we sell packs of hardware items), so i wondred if it's worth doing something ourselves.

Flexible Customer Financing
by Seller_Zovt1x5tinPh5

Hi all - maybe someone can help me understand something I don't see any detail on anywhere:

The Flexible Customer Finance programme (FCF) is a programme that lets your customers "spread the cost of their purchases on goods between £80 and £3000." So I have enabled the feature and it works on some of my ASINS.

But when I look at competitor ASINS I see this feature enabled at much lower price points. (screenshot below)

Clearly this creates a two tier system where sellers in the same category are able to offer enhancements that other cannot? Am I missing something? Has anyone come across this before?

Hi everyone,

I’m a new seller and could really use some advice. I recently launched my first Sponsored Product campaign. After following a few tutorials, I thought I had set everything up for good visibility, but after 3 full days, I’ve had 0 impressions and 0 clicks.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Selected relevant and trending keywords/search terms that match my product (using Amazon’s suggestions and manual research)

Set high bids per keyword (well above the suggested bid range)

Applied a 100% top of search placement multiplier to boost visibility

Daily budget is more than enough and shouldn’t be limiting the campaign

Campaign type: Sponsored Products – Manual Targeting

Campaign status is showing as "Delivering", not paused or inactive

My listing is active, with around 90% of stock available for sale (a small portion is still in FC transfer)

Despite this, I’m still seeing zero impressions and zero clicks after 72 hours.

Is this normal for a new seller with a first-time campaign? Could the remaining units in FC transfer be affecting visibility? Or is there something else I should check like indexing or campaign setup issues?

Would really appreciate any advice from experienced sellers who’ve been through this. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Jordan
