This year, Amazon Prime Day takes place on the 10th and 11th of October, which means you only have a few days to prepare to serve customers during this shopping holiday!

Usually, Amazon sellers start preparing for Amazon Prime Day months in advance and still miss a few spots that need extra attention. However, if you are not satisfied with your preparations so far, Alpha Repricer—the best Amazon repricing tool—has a few last-minute tips to help you out.

Follow these tips to make sure you are all set for the most awaited shopping event!

1.      Set Advertising Budget aside to spend during Prime Day

We advise you not to spend a lot of money on advertising during the days running up to the big sales day! If you want to create hype for your products on Prime Day, then save your advertising budget to start marketing once Amazon Prime Day begins! You can go for a PPC ad campaign and start advertising heavily to promote your listing and attract more audiences. Your ads will appear on Amazon at the right time, and customers will surely visit your store.

2.      Advertise across different social media platforms

It is incredibly effective and powerful to divert traffic to your store from different social media platforms. You can’t depend on Amazon to be your only means of getting potential customers. Once you set an ad budget for marketing on Amazon Prime day, start advertising by trying:

  • Sponsored ads across social media platforms: Sponsored ads on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram not only help you attract your target audience but also improves your SEO. Even if you don’t want to pay for sponsored ads, make sure you update your followers with the latest products and deals you are offering on Amazon Prime Day.
  • Get in touch with Influencers: Do your research and connect with the influencers who can better promote your products! Influencers help increase brand awareness, and people who are unfamiliar with your business get to know you better!
  • Sponsored Products on Amazon: Amazon displaying your Sponsored Products ads can help shoppers find out about your amazing deals, discounts, and coupons! It also enables you to improve your ranking on Amazon’s search results page.

3.      Store enough inventory to last the entire Amazon Prime Day!

We don’t always recommend ordering additional products and storing them. However, we’ve seen sellers lose their sales on Amazon Prime Day because they run out of inventory. To avoid this last-minute chaos, try to take a step ahead and order surplus inventory so that you don’t disappoint your customers. Evaluate your prime day sales from the previous year and order inventory according to the benchmark you’ve set for this year.

Pro tip: Follow the surplus inventory tip special when you are running Lightning Deals on Amazon. You can get suspended from Amazon if you promote a lightning deal without having enough items in stock to carry out your orders.

4.      Set competitive prices

The best way to stay ahead of your competitors is to offer the best product prices and deals! Amazon Prime Day is all about getting maximum sales by providing the best prices in the market.

Amazon Prime Day gives you an excellent opportunity to increase sales and clear old inventory by offering product bundles. A bundle of products is a set of items that go well together and are sold usually with a single Amazon Standard Identification Number.
