#494 - Walmart Has Vine? Alexa+ Rollout and More | Weekly Buzz 2/6/26


Listen Later

Walmart launches a Vine-style review program, Alexa+ rolls out globally, and a hidden Amazon Ads feature is driving conversions, not just awareness. More on this Weekly Buzz episode!

We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s Senior Brand Evangelist, Shivali Patel. 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.


Walmart is rolling out an invite-only “Review Accelerator” (for recognized reviewers) program that lets sellers provide free product samples to a vetted pool of trusted reviewers, similar to Amazon Vine. If you receive the email link, you can enroll eligible items in the Seller Center, allocate review units, and potentially accelerate traction for new or low-review listings.

 

Alexa+ now available to everyone in the US—and free for Prime members

For our Helium 10 New Feature Alerts: Black Box now lets you paste or upload lists of ASINs (not just UPC/GTIN/EAN/ISBN) in Product Identifiers, up to 500, depending on your Helium 10 membership. This makes it easier to quickly research large sets of competitor or wholesale products in one search.

 

Drive brand awareness and engagement with Brand+ using Amazon Ads, now available to all globally
