Find the best keywords for Amazon

How to Find the Best Keywords for Your Amazon Listings

Keyword research is very important for success on Amazon. This is because keywords have a huge impact on how much traffic your listings receive. Your products won’t appear in search results unless you take the time to find keywords that customers are likely to use. A few good keywords can make the difference between a product that is found and one that remains in obscurity. If you don’t include at least one high-volume keyword that’s relevant to your product you’ll run the risk of missing out on a significant amount of traffic and sales. Therefore, good keyword research can have a major impact on both the quantity and quality of the traffic that is directed to your listings.  (more…)

How to liquidate inventory

How to Liquidate Inventory Stuck in Amazon FBA

Liquidating items stuck in Amazon FBA is important. Here are some smart tactics to remove or liquidate slow-moving items before they cost you too much.

Amazon’s FBA program presents a great opportunity for any seller looking to grow his or her business on Amazon. When you participate in the Amazon FBA program your products become eligible for all of the Prime benefits that Amazon offers its Prime subscribers. To participate in the Amazon FBA program, you are required to send your products to Amazon fulfillment centers so Amazon can fulfill your products for you.

While many products sell very well through the Amazon FBA program, other items may not sell. If left unsold these items will sit in the fulfillment centers and cost you monthly storage fees. Even worse, if you get hit with long-term storage fees then you’ll end up paying a very hefty price for not liquidating your products while you had the chance. Therefore, it’s important to keep an eye on your FBA inventory and either remove or liquidate slow-moving items before they cost you too much. (more…)
