Hello Amazon Seller,

Thank you for being a subscriber, and thank you for opening this email.

We are wishing only the best for the Olympic athletes. I can't imagine putting in so much work and effort to train and then being delayed a year only to have such an incredible experience without their fans, friends, and family there. Keeping them all in our thoughts and prayers.

Item not received abuse rises 33%

Some online retailers have seen a 33% increase in “item not received” abuse in the last year, according to fraud-prevention company Forter.

This abuse happens when someone buys a product online, then claims they never received the item when they actually did. Some consumers will do this independently, while others will hire someone to do it for them. Professional refund scammers advertise their services on social media sites, offering to claim refunds from retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target for a percentage fee.

What is the brand referral bonus program? How to get paid for driving traffic to Amazon

No, it's not too good to be true.

Amazon will start providing discounts equaling an average of 10% on product sales that sellers drive themselves. This 10% is taken off the referral fee for that sale – so instead of paying 15% to Amazon as a referral, you only pay 5%.

It's a great deal. If you're already driving traffic, it just got cheaper with these new incentives. And if you're not yet using external traffic, now's as good a time as any to start, especially if the cost was holding you back.

There are only two conditions to the program:

1. You need to be brand registered
2. Your traffic needs to go through Amazon Attribution links

These are pretty easy conditions to meet, considering Brand Registry and Amazon Attribution are two things that can help your business anyway.

I don’t own a brand, but I do drive traffic to my Amazon listings through non-Amazon marketing campaigns. Is there a program I can participate in?
All sellers are able to enroll in the Amazon Associates program to earn and monetize their traffic with up to a 10% commission on purchases brought in by their marketing efforts.

Tidbits:

The 36% YoY increase in Sponsored Product cost per click and 18% for Sponsored Brand ads point to a need to double-down in a few areas
  • conversion rate, conversion rate, conversion rate - increase those percentages to mitigate increased traffic costs.
  • cut out marginal ad placements - consider eliminating any placement, keyword, or ad format that's not a top performer
  • explore off-Amazon activity
