Amazon after hour share price drops 20%. Had a coffee with a 12 year Amazon retiree the other week. He got wildly lucky and sold at peak. Hero!
2. Amazon vs. Walmart report by Jungle Scout. Big point for me was the US moving to Walmart for grocery purchases. Walmart YoY growth is 12%, Amazon is down. I'm reading a lot more about the extra attention Walmart deserves. [More].
3. Aggregators continue to struggle? I always felt an agency would form a good foundation for an aggregator. Due to the "operators" they already have. Rick's right though, there are fewer profitable brands on Amazon. Would love to see a survey on that. [More].
4. Kevin David would enjoy this. Actually a very cool product and great example of acting fast. Good to see real product development numbers too.
5. Grocery brands hit hard in the UK. Amazon cock up HFSS regulation roll outs. Blocking ASINs incorrectly which in turn will hurt those brands for quite a long time. [More].
6. Product comparisons are great for helping customers. Brew Dog do a fantastic job here. Here is an excellent explanation on why comparisons are important, but from a different angle.
7. Considering ditching email for SMS? I really wouldn't. Adam sums up my reasons well.
8. Don't use PIPES in your Amazon titles. Here's why. Want a well-priced Amazon copywriter? Drop me an email saying "Alice".
9. This image performs 99% better than others in the pillow and blanket category.
11. This idiot bought thousands of Liz Truss rolls of toilet paper to sell on Amazon. What a shitter.
12. Sellers history now more visible with this widget.
13. TikTok should be on of your Amazon traffic channels. Paul talks of a 40% bump here. Whilst it may be an anomoly, it's well known that Amazon love external traffic.
14. Amazon coaches are full of shit. After old Kevin got caught recently this bullet point list is a friendly reminder to trust no one.
15. Autoplaying videos in the search engine results page (SERP). 3 big app updates on Amazon.
16. Average Amazon discount is increasing. ~3% to ~5%. If you've got your head in the sand and aren't connecting what's going on off Amazon to what's going on on Amazon, then you're a numpty.
17. Are your Amazon agency quotes too much? My rant.
18. Amazon email tool (customer engagement) shows shit numbers to begin with.
19. Amazon launches insurance store in the UK. I've got no doubt if this takes off it'll be heaps better than the grim service we've become accustom to with insurance.
20. Amazon launched in Belgium. Marketplace #10.
21. Your lifestyle photography could get 10X easier with AI. Check these examples. Columbia don't need this though, they have staged lifestlye shots which look sick!
22. Amazon accepting Venmo as a payment option.
