This guide is perfect for anyone looking to improve their Amazon sales and stay ahead in a competitive market.

Brand Manager Takeaway:
Hey team,
I had a call with Steven Pope earlier this week, where we focused on a couple of main images that we were receiving doubts and pushbacks on from the clients.

The primary concern was for After Inked, a well-known brand in the tattoo care and products industry. Despite their superior quality, they often fall behind the top two Chinese competitors due to pricing.
One significant aspect of After Inked is that they were the main featured brand on the Ink Masters show. However, our client was hesitant to use the Ink Masters logo or name on the main image because they wanted to be recognized as “After Inked” rather than the brand from “Ink Masters.”

After discussing this with Steven Pope, he added both images to a PickFu A/B test. In just a few minutes, we saw that 73% of customers preferred the main image with the Ink Masters logo.
We presented these results to the client, and she finally approved the use of the Ink Masters logo.

Having ideas is really great but having data and numbers to back up our ideas is the best!

Brand Manager Takeaway:
Had a great call with Steven Pope yesterday focusing on a client who has exploded since onboarding with us and the owner is constantly looking for the next best action.

The biggest takeaway is that it it all comes down to strategy and communication. When a client always seems to be looking for the next great tool or the constantly has new ideas; you have to stay ahead of them. He came to MAG to buy strategy first and foremost. He doesn’t want to just see the revenue go up, he wants to know what the plan is 3, 6, or 12 months from now so his business doesn’t just grow, it’s thriving and sustainable.

The client also has a habit of jumping around topics in our calls and to keep them efficient, one thing Steven said that really stuck out was; “Going west is a strategy. Going through Salt Lake to Reno is a tactic…navigate the conversation to keep it on strategy, the tactics can be handled through email” (Paraphrasing)

Vision, direction, and strategy needs to be the focus and it needs to be communicated regularly so the client sees and understands the value, and bring the data to back it up.

At the end of the call, we also spoke a bit about why I’ve stayed at MAG for what will be 4 years coming up in July and the posts today are a good example: The knowledge base is unmatched and the company is always looking to improve. If there’s a problem or something doesn’t work, it gets the attention it needs until it’s fixed. Not at all something I can say for most companies I’ve worked.
It’s easy to stay when you know you’ve got a mountain of information to draw from and a great team working alongside you.

Thanks Steven Pope for the call and the input!
