In episode 536 of the AM/PM Podcast and Weekly Buzz, Carrie talks about:

What separates short-term Amazon sales from long-term brand growth? Learn the repeat purchase strategy behind a $20M brand and how sellers can use it.

In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, host Carrie Miller welcomes Jason McLellan of Prime Team Agency to break down the customer retention strategy behind VitaCup’s growth into a $20 million Amazon and omnichannel brand. Jason shares how Amazon started as VitaCup’s smallest sales channel at around $2 million, then became a major driver of the business by using a different way of thinking: focusing less on cheap customer acquisition and more on which products created loyal, repeat buyers.

Jason explains how the VitaCup team used cohort data and product repeat rates to understand which ASINs were truly worth investing in. Some products looked like winners because they had low CPCs, strong conversions, and high demand, but the data showed that customers were not coming back. Meanwhile, products like Genius Coffee were more expensive to advertise, but they attracted customers who were more likely to repurchase, move into Subscribe & Save, and increase lifetime value.

Carrie and Jason also discuss how sellers can apply this thinking beyond consumables. Whether you sell supplements, food and beverage, lifestyle products, starter kits, or products with replenishable components, the key is understanding how one purchase can lead to the next. Jason shares practical strategies around Subscribe & Save coupons, AMC audiences, DSP retargeting, cross-selling, virtual bundles, multi-packs, listing optimization, and using tools like Helium 10 to make smarter decisions.

The biggest takeaway from this episode is that real Amazon growth is not just about chasing more sales; it is about building a business that customers keep coming back to. When sellers understand their repeat purchase data, they can stop wasting ad dollars on short-term wins and start building a brand with predictable revenue, stronger customer relationships, and long-term profitability. The brands that win are not always the ones that acquire the cheapest customer, but the ones that acquire the right customer and give them a reason to stay.

Could one image change unlock more clicks and sales? Learn how Amazon sellers are using AI, split testing, and shopper feedback to stop guessing.

What if the biggest improvement to your Amazon listing was not a new product, a lower price, or a bigger ad budget, but a better creative decision? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Daniela Bolzmann of Mindful Goods, Justin Chen of PickFu, and Kamaljit Singh of AMZ One Step to break down how Amazon sellers can use AI, split testing, and real shopper feedback to build listing images that convert.

The panel also breaks down why split testing is no longer optional for serious Amazon sellers. Justin explains how sellers can test main images, secondary images, videos, and even competitor comparisons before making changes live on Amazon. Instead of risking sales with untested creative, sellers can use feedback from real shoppers to understand what actually drives clicks, builds trust, and helps products stand out in crowded search results.

From storefront optimization to A+ Content, Rufus/Alexa readiness, video testing, and AI-generated ads, this episode is packed with practical ways to make smarter creative decisions. The inspiring lesson is simple: the sellers who grow are not always the ones with the biggest budgets, but the ones willing to test, learn, and improve. When you combine data, creativity, AI, and customer feedback, every listing becomes an opportunity to build something stronger.

In this episode, learn 10 Amazon and TikTok Shop strategies using Helium 10 to automate ads, find hidden product opportunities, analyze keywords, and improve profitability.

What if some of the biggest Amazon and TikTok Shop opportunities are hiding in places most sellers never check? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton, Carrie Miller, and Shivali Patel break down 10 unique strategies designed to help sellers save time, uncover hidden data, and make smarter decisions across Amazon and TikTok Shop.

The episode starts with advanced Amazon advertising strategies, including how to automatically adjust bids based on keyword rank and how sellers can use historical Brand Analytics data to see which products consistently won clicks and purchases for important keywords. These strategies can help sellers protect ranking, improve targeting, and better understand who their real competitors are over time.

The conversation also dives into product research and listing insights, including the “zombie hunter” method for finding out-of-stock products that used to generate strong sales. Carrie also shows how sellers can quickly uncover top keywords from Amazon search results, while Shivali explains how to use seller country data and TikTok Chrome Extension insights to better evaluate competition and customer demand.

For sellers expanding into TikTok Shop, this episode also covers how to manage TikTok ads more efficiently, estimate profitability across different fulfillment methods, and decide whether a product is worth testing on the platform. The closing message is clear: sellers who know where to find hidden data, automate smarter, and act on overlooked opportunities can make better decisions faster. If you are selling on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or both, this episode is packed with strategies worth implementing.

Updates to improve your Amazon product titles begin on July 27

In episode 529 of the AM/PM Podcast and Weekly Buzz, Bradley covers:

Prime Day competition is rising. Learn how smarter Amazon ads, AMC audiences, DSP, video, and AI creative can help sellers capture more traffic and conversions before, during, and after it.

Prime Day is no longer just about turning up your Amazon PPC budget and hoping the extra traffic converts. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali Patel sits down with Destaney Wishon of BTR Media to break down what sellers should expect from Prime Day, how advertising behavior has changed, and why brands need a more intentional strategy around bids, budgets, audiences, and creative.

Destaney explains why campaign structure is one of the biggest levers sellers can control before a major shopping event. Instead of relying on one broad campaign, she recommends segmenting campaigns by goal, including awareness, ranking, efficiency, brand defense, auto discovery, and conquesting. This gives sellers the flexibility to shift budget based on what they actually want to accomplish, whether that is improving BSR, protecting profitability, capturing existing demand, or creating more awareness before shoppers are ready to buy.

The episode also dives into how AMC and DSP are changing the way Amazon sellers approach advertising. Destaney shares why shoppers often click or add to cart days before purchasing, which means brands may be cutting off future sales if they lower bids too quickly. She also explains how AMC audiences can help sellers target higher-intent shoppers, such as cart abandoners or people more likely to buy premium products, while DSP and streaming TV can help create demand before shoppers even search on Amazon.

To close the conversation, Destaney breaks down practical Prime Day tactics for new brands, low-priced products, lead-in and lead-out periods, dayparting, automatic campaigns, and creative assets. Her biggest reminder is that there is no one-size-fits-all Prime Day strategy. The brands that win are the ones that understand their goals, know their margins, use data wisely, and build an ad strategy that fits their business instead of copying someone else’s playbook.
