Current Events with Amazon Selling

Overwhelmed feeling? If you’re an essential worker you’re an unrecognized underpaid hero right now. If you are an non-essential worker you’ve been holed up in your house. My favorite comment I heard today was “What day of the week is it, March 53rd?”

• Out of budget advertising campaigns lowest hanging fruit
• Shipping restrictions biggest frustration right now
  • Focus on MFN shipping for next 60 days
• Things that are currently off right now at Amazon
  • Coupons
  • Lightning Deals
  • Prime Day being rescheduled
  • Inventory removals
  • Frequently bought together (saw it kind of come back but mostly still gone)
  • NARF- not a pinky and the brain reference. Sell in Canada & Mexico with Amazon's North America Remote Fulfillment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2GNJAl2XdA
  • Product review emails are on the skirts. About to get banned. Saw the new review button on orders come out.
• Other related COVID-19 news
  • Air freight is like 5x more expensive right now.
  • USPS international shipping disruptions
  • Time to process returns and refunds has been extended to 14 days. Goes back to 2 days June 1.
  • Supply Chains still stressed.

• Recording setting sales for 5% of our clients last week. This is after 25% of our clients have set records during a week in the past 30 days. Lot of new records keep getting set.
