• Amazon Advertising: Utilize Amazon Advertising tools such as Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display ads to target specific keywords, categories, and audiences. Allocate your budget strategically.
• Competitive Pricing: While you may not have the budget for extensive discounts, offer competitive prices for the value you provide. Emphasize the unique benefits of your products that set them apart from competitors.

 Quote of the Show:  Building brand off of Amazon is just as important as building a brand on Amazon. Identify one channel outlet to lean into, whether it’s TikTok, Instagram, affiliate marketing, or PR. Getting placement in listicles or articles can drive sales, boost BSR, and enhance your organic ranking.
