Send us a textHave you also experienced the persistent problem of resellers and hijackers on Amazon, despite using the Transparency Program? Learn about the challenges faced, effective tactics to combat hijackers, and the potential benefits of brand gating. Here's how you can protect your brand and maintain control over your listings.Brand Manager Takeaway:Last week I had a great call with Steven Pope.My client EZC Pak is constantly having hijackers and Resellers pop up both on and off their listingsThey're already enrolled in the transparency programThey've been concerned to reimplement B2B pricing despite seeing B2B sales increase since we implemented back in Jan.Steven gave some helpful insights on how we can squash the issue (hopefully for good!)If Transparency hasn't resolved the issue, there must be an issue on the manufacturing/distribution level allowing resellers to get ahold of product with Transparency codesWe have one of the strongest cases for brand gating; Let's see if we can get it doneB2B pricing is safe to get up and running again while we continue to work on removing resellers as they arise.Our main focus should be assisting the client where we can on hijacker removal and finding the source of the products being resold.At the end I asked him what advice he'd give to someone who was just beginning their career and feeling a little lost on their path (Me!), and I wanted to share some insights gained from the conversation we had.Being indecisive about your career or passions makes you a 100% normal human being. Continuing to learn is ultimately what fuels your growth inside and out.Taking the time to free yourself from distractions and process your thoughts heals both the mind and the soulThere is no one right way to do anything, continuing to be creative and adaptable will help reach your goals more than a highly detailed plan would.Thank you for taking the extra time to chat Steven Pope! As a busy agency we all spend a lot of time making sure things run as smoothly as possible. I always appreciate the chance to discuss more deeply on things both on and off Amazon.#AmazonFBA #AmazonSeller #AmazonBrandRegistry #AmazonTips → Use Data Dive with code MAG for exclusive savings!↳ https://2.datadive.tools/subscription/subscribe?ref=otkxnwu&coupon=MAG-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Join My Amazon Guy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28605816/Follow us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/myamazonguyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevenpopemag/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/myamazonguys/Please subscribe to the podcast at: https://podcast.myamazonguy.comApple Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-amazon-guy/id1501974229Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4A5ASHGGfr6s4wWNQIqyVwTimestamps:00:00 - Reseller and Hijacker Issues01:05 - Transparency Program and Challenges02:00 - Resellers' Tactics02:45 - Brand Registry Issues03:30 - Brand Gating Proposal04:00 - Summary and Next StepsSupport the show

Send us a textIn this video, we discuss the common challenges faced by Amazon sellers, focusing on handling negative reviews, optimizing product images, and effective pricing strategies. Learn how to improve your CTR with strategic image changes, and discover actionable tips to increase your sales through competitive pricing and temporary promotions. Here's what you can do to manage product reviews and enhance your listings for better visibility and customer trust.Brand Manager Takeaways:Had a great 1-on-1 with Steven Pope last week!He is a really cool person to talk to in person!He gave me very good specific advice on how to improve the click-through rate (CTR) of images for a pet toy.One of the ASINs of the same client had a bad review, which caused a drop in sales and overall performance. Since this ASIN doesn't have many reviews, the negative review stands out clearly. Steven suggested that I ask the client to have a couple of friends purchase the product and write reviews. Although Steven advised that this is against the TOS, we could suggest it to the client and make it clear that it should be done subtly and only once, just to balance out the star ratingsWe also discussed pricing. The price of this product is higher than that of other competitors and requires a boost in sales velocity. Steven suggested lowering the price significantly, to the point of discomfort. 'Sales get more sales,' as the saying goes!I had a good time talking to Steven and look forward to receiving more feedback and knowledge from him.#AmazonSelling #AmazonSEO #AmazonReviews #AmazonTips #AmazonNegativeReviews→ Use Data Dive with code MAG for exclusive savings!↳ https://2.datadive.tools/subscription/subscribe?ref=otkxnwu&coupon=MAG-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Join My Amazon Guy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28605816/Follow us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/myamazonguyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevenpopemag/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/myamazonguys/Please subscribe to the podcast at: https://podcast.myamazonguy.comApple Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-amazon-guy/id1501974229Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4A5ASHGGfr6s4wWNQIqyVwTimestamps:00:00 - Introduction and Customer Complaint00:25 - Handling Negative Reviews01:03 - New CTR Images and Product Presentation01:39 - Pricing Strategy for Increasing Sales02:11 - Further Image Enhancements and Keyword SuggestionsSupport the show
