Try out different ad copy, test videos against images, target different audiences, and pilot different ad types.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Send traffic to a landing page first<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When running Facebook ads &mdash; or any external ad source for that matter &mdash; we suggest sending traffic to a landing page first, instead of directly to your Amazon listing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This accomplishes two key things: first, you get the chance to &ldquo;warm up&rdquo; the visitors so they&rsquo;re more likely to buy your product. You can think of that Facebook traffic as &ldquo;cold&rdquo; &mdash; they&rsquo;re probably scrolling Facebook to catch up with family and friends, not necessarily to shop. By sending visitors to your brand&rsquo;s landing page <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before<\/span><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they proceed to your listing, you can pique their interest in your products &mdash; i.e., warm them up &mdash; so they&rsquo;re in the mood to make a purchase.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&rsquo;ve had a chance to pre-sell your product via your landing page, you can let visitors click through to your listing to make their purchase. This will improve your conversion rate. Alternatively, if you send traffic from a Facebook ad directly to your Amazon listing, you run the risk of harming your conversion rate when &ldquo;cold&rdquo; traffic leaves your listing without making a purchase.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, you can collect valuable customer data through your landing page: visitors&rsquo; email addresses. This is a big win for two reasons: first, because an email list strengthens your marketing efforts, and second, because Amazon does not allow you to access that kind of information through Seller Central.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should always ask for customers&rsquo; email addresses on your landing page &mdash; and offer benefits in return. Not only will an email list help filter out the customers who are not really interested in purchasing your product, but you&rsquo;ll also get to compile a roster of contacts who can receive promotions of new product launches or special sales events, and generally be in the loop as your business grows.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Social media marketing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&rsquo;t have some kind of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> strategy, you&rsquo;re already falling behind. Take advantage of social media platforms to grow your brand, build a following, connect with your audience, and increase brand awareness. Consumers are already looking at their phones all day &mdash; it&rsquo;s an incredible marketing opportunity!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of your own social media strategy, your brand can get in front of thousands, or even millions of viewers if you engage&nbsp; social media influencers in your niche. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/amazon-influencer-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencer marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can have a positive impact on your business if done correctly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborating with influencers in your space can help grow your social media following and increase your sales on Amazon and other ecommerce platforms.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not like what I&rsquo;m about to say, but your brand should be on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-on-tiktok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TikTok<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. TikTok is responsible for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/tiktok-amazon-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many products going viral<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and causing huge spikes in sales! There isn&rsquo;t a silver bullet for what makes a product reach TikTok viral status, but being on the platform and engaging your followers with regular posts is a strong start.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Build an email list<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I mentioned above, emails are one of your most valuable marketing assets as an ecommerce business owner &mdash; and collecting them should be a priority. If you&rsquo;re an Amazon seller, you already know that Amazon, unfortunately, does not provide you with customer emails &mdash; unless you have access to their new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/amazon-manage-your-customer-engagement-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manage Your Customer Engagement tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an email list, you have a roster of former and potential customers that have had some kind of interaction with your brand. You can remarket your products to them with&nbsp; promotional messages and special deals made exclusively for them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Affiliate blogs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you won&rsquo;t have full control over this option &mdash; unless of course, you own your own niche blog site &mdash; this is a great way to help drive additional traffic to your Amazon products.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many niche sites out there run by content creators who are part of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/amazon-affiliate-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Associates Program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When they write about a product, they&rsquo;ll include an affiliate link to the Amazon listing. That way, they earn a commission each time one of their blog visitors clicks on their link and purchases the product on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for these kinds of blogs, YouTube accounts, and websites in your niche and reach out to them to ask if they would be interested in featuring your product for their blog or video.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you sell coffee makers, search for &ldquo;best coffee makers&rdquo; on Google. You&rsquo;ll find a bunch of blog articles comparing different coffee machines on the market.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I found one from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/appliances\/coffee-maker-reviews\/g2083\/top-rated-coffeemakers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Housekeeping<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that compares eight different coffee makers, each with affiliate links that direct you to Amazon listings.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-89781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-10-at-1.57.28-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-10-at-1.57.28-PM.png 1382w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-10-at-1.57.28-PM-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-10-at-1.57.28-PM-1024x732.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can get a popular niche blog such as Good Housekeeping to link to your listing, you could have a great source of traffic for your business.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ideas for off-Amazon ads<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some ideas to start your off-Amazon ad efforts.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide creative content to an influencer to use on an IG post or story.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use &ldquo;user-generated content.&rdquo; Solicit photos from your previous customers and use those images in an ad to show real people using the product.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/sponsored-brands-video-amazon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Amazon or on Facebook.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer exclusive discounts in your ads.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use carousel ads on Facebook to show multiple images or videos in one ad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a video ad of a real-life customer providing an honest review of the product.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add information about your return policy or risk-free purchase guarantee.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show multiple variations of one ad.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b style=\"font-size: 2rem;\">Don&rsquo;t forget to measure your performance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned above, make sure you use the Amazon Attribution tool when driving external traffic to your listings.
