Amazon Prime Day happens once a year, and if you’re a seller, you’ll want to be prepared when it rolls around – typically mid-July. There are multiple things to consider in preparation for the big day.

Optimize Content

Your Amazon product listings should always be optimized for the best visibility, but you should evaluate products you plan to offer on Prime Day. This includes editing product titles as needed and making sure the character limits are the appropriate lengths to show on desktop and mobile.

In addition, product bullet points should be checked for accuracy, keyword relevance, and include specific product descriptions.

Include multiple images for every Prime Day product. High-quality images that a user can zoom into for a closer look are ideal.

Amazon offers a variety of advertising formats and promotions for you to choose from, including everything from standard ads to flash sales.

Rectify Any Performance Issues

Check your Amazon account health on a regular basis leading up to Prime Day – and always. Problems with your products or customer communications can impact your success. Reach out to Amazon with questions or concerns about issues immediately to ensure you’re ready for Prime Day.

Prime Day Fulfillment

It’s key to have short handling times and quick delivery for success on Prime Day. Using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) will ensure you meet Amazon’s delivery requirements. However, if your products are Seller-Fulfilled Prime, make sure your inventory is ready to go and your shipping methods are reliable.

Amazon Prime Day is a team-wide event for participating businesses. Your strategy should include before-, during-, and after-Prime Day preparations to ensure the highest level of success.
