On this episode he discusses about leveraging variations to boost reviews on Amazon.
Takeaways:
- Separate your product first before grouping them in a parent-child relationship.
- I advice you create a parent-child relationship.
- Your customers will see much value in your products when you create a parent-child relationship.
- If you sell your items at a lower price, Amazon will take you off the buy box.
- If you decide to up your price because you are doing so well, Amazon will take you off the buy box.
- If you need to increase your rate, you need to wait for a time for your product to catch up.
Quote of the Show:
I suggest keeping your items separate until you submit them to Amazon Vine to get up to 30 reviews per item, then you create the parent-child relationships for your items. This way you have the potential to have up to 90 reviews for your parent item.
