#492 - 2026 Amazon Big Spring Sale Dates & Sponsored Brand Ad Update | Weekly Buzz 1/30/26


Listen Later

Amazon’s 2026 Big Spring Sale dates are set. Sponsored Brands ads no longer need custom titles/creatives. TikTok Shop sellers react to the new shipping change.

 

We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10’s newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level.

 

Amazon quietly revealed the 2026 Big Spring Sale is back on March 25-31, shown inside Seller Central’s Deals/Lightning Deals section, where some products are already being flagged as eligible. Sellers should start planning promos now—locking in Lightning Deals early or lining up Prime Exclusive Discounts ahead of the event.

This week’s strategy shows how to uncover competitors’ proven sales-driving keywords using Amazon-confirmed data in Helium 10’s Brand Analytics (ABA Top Search Terms), not just estimates from Cerebro. Add competitor ASINs, choose high-spike weeks, and filter for more than 1% conversion share to reveal keywords Amazon verifies are converting.

New Feature Alerts: Helium 10’s TikTok Ads now adds automation rules for GMV Max so you can auto-add high-performing affiliate videos and remove underperformers (like a “negative match” for low ROAS). There’s also a new Creative Insights page to track ad, affiliate, and authorized posts in one place and quickly move winning videos into campaigns.

Helium 10’s Keyword Tracker got a small facelift, and the Boost button is finally back to red instead of blue. Boost is the feature that checks rankings up to 24 times a day across rotating browsing scenarios to track organic and sponsored position.
