    I've worked with countless sellers who jump on Amazon expecting instant sales at any price point. My advice? Slow down. Amazon isn’t a vending machine.  You can’t just throw in some ads, slap on discounts, and expect consistent sales. Yes, ads, coupons, and discounts are part of the game.  But they’re not where you should start. Instead, Amazon operates like a funnel.  Ads might bring customers to your listing, but what converts them—and keeps them coming back—are fundamentals: a strong listing, a high-quality product, and exceptional customer experience. So before you burn money on PPC or discount stacking, ask yourself: 𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱? Here’s the 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝘆𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗱 I share with clients. It’s a step-by-step blueprint to build a sustainable Amazon business: 𝟭.

  • #Amazon Growth Isn’t About Spending More, It’s About Spending Smarter. We recently completed a full-scale Amazon audit for a retail brand, and what we uncovered echoes what we’ve seen time and again: Many brands treat Amazon like a media platform. The winning brands treat it like a growth engine. 1. Ad Efficiency ≠ Account Efficiency Many brands have healthy ROAS on paper and think they are doing "great", but are unknowingly cannibalizing organic sales or overspending on branded terms. We deploy a layered campaign architecture that separates acquisition from retention, brand defense from conquesting, so every dollar has a distinct job and measurable impact. 2. Smart Media Spend Should Build Organic Equity Media shouldn’t be a crutch! In most audits, we find that ad budgets are overly concentrated on driving short-term ROAS, with little consideration for long-term keyword rank. Our approach strategically uses paid media to lift visibility on high-opportunity keywords, driving sustained organic growth. This way, over time, you reduce dependency on paid spend as your products begin to win share of voice organically. 3. Product Investment Should Match Lifecycle, Not Just Performance Too often, budgets are allocated based on yesterday’s result, not tomorrow’s opportunity. We utilize a quadrant model to assess each SKU’s role in the portfolio and allocate investment to products with headroom, seasonality, and strategic significance. 4. Content = Conversion Power Every asset (title, bullet, image) either builds trust or creates friction, and with Amazon’s shift to AI-driven and semantic search (hello, #Rufus), PDP content isn’t just SEO, it’s how your brand shows up and gets discovered. Optimizing titles, bullets, and imagery for consumer psychology and Amazon’s evolving algorithm increases visibility, click-through, and conversion in one unified motion. 5. Retail Media Should Power a Full-Funnel Strategy If your strategy begins and ends with Sponsored Products, you're leaving growth on the table. We connect #AMC, DSP, and real-time bidding to move beyond #ROAS, targeting new-to-brand customers, building loyalty loops, and optimizing to LTV, not just last click. Oh, and we track profit like a hawk! Top-performing Amazon programs are integrated, not siloed. They align retail readiness, media, creative, and data into one feedback loop that compounds over time. If you're rethinking how Amazon fits into your broader marketing strategy, I'm happy to have a conversation. If you know me, then you know - no pitch, just perspective.
