      • 34. What we learnt from Amazon Prime Day 2022

        This week we discussed what we learned from Amazon prime day 2022. Every year we prepare well in advance, and after each, we review what went well and what didn’t quite go as well as we expected so that we know for next year and other prime-related events what we could improve on.

        For those of you who missed prime day, didn’t have a Prime account and therefore didn’t realize this opportunity existed, it is a 2-day event with offers and discounts for members of Amazon Prime. Sellers have the opportunity to target Amazon Prime customers for two days with their best offers and deals. It’s a great way to gain visibility and potentially increase sales for a short period of time.

        So how did we do this Prime Day? Was Amazon Prime Day a resounding success or was it costly and time-consuming? Did we find any trends on what was working well? And things that weren’t so good?

        What tools do we use to analyze our Prime Day successes against competitors? How can sellers do this for themselves? And why is it beneficial for sellers to use us for advertising and analyzing sales over these periods?

        What key takeaways would you note down for the next Amazon Prime event? And when is that… Just a quick reminder for people about the November Prime event and when to put key reminder dates in their diaries that sort of thing.

        Thank you for listening. If you enjoyed this episode we would love you to share it with other Amazon sellers so that they too can benefit from all the interesting insights that we share. And if you or someone you know is interested in having us work on an advertiser account, book a call with us through our website https://clearads.co.uk or https://clearadsagency.com  and we will see if we can help you achieve your advertising goals.

        • What are the things that people can get too hung up over?
        • Is the devil in the detail? Is it all about structuring your bids? Or is it more about understanding the algorithms, or the categories you are bidding on?
        • When looking at keywords are there any simple ways to really optimise these and any specific tools that you use to identify really good ones?
        • If you could give an example of a great bid strategy what example would you give and why?
        • What made it so great? And no saying because you created it! ;)
        • Are there any particular techniques that are new in this space that might also be really useful to try out?
        • Where do you learn about this stuff?

        • 32. Get Primed and ready for Amazon Prime Day 2022

          Welcome to the Clear Ads Podcast Highway to Sell!  You’re listening to Tom Waghorn and Ronnie Katamba.

          We are back with another instalment to our Highway to Sell series where we discuss key topics and experiences with our in-house advertising team.

          In this week's episode, we are going to deep dive into preparing for Amazon Prime Day.

          Amazon Prime day is the biggest online retail holiday of the year and it is back again this year on the 12th and 13th of July. Sellers and shoppers know that this 48-hour event is a great way to capitalize on increased marketplace traffic and score steep deals and discounts, respectively. Prime Day 2021 saw a staggering $11B of goods sold, which translates to nearly $4M a minute. Now, who wouldn’t want to be part of that!

          Prime Day 2020 and 2021 experienced challenges, and this year will be no different. Sellers are feeling the effects of inflation including Amazon’s new 5% fuel surcharge, actions taken by Amazon to rid of ageing FBA inventory in anticipation of Prime Day, and recent inventory limits imposed by Amazon, which have added to a feeling of uncertainty—and many brands are wondering whether or not spending and sales will be as successful as previous Prime Days.

          This is why it is important to prepare well and adjust your strategy to make the most of your budget.
