Are you an Amazon seller looking to increase your bottom line? Kristin Ostrander has some advice for you in the latest episode of the Amazon Files podcast. Kristin emphasizes the need for Amazon sellers to take time to think, innovate, and reflect on their business strategies. She notes that many sellers get caught up in the day-to-day tasks of managing their Amazon store and fail to give themselves enough time to increase their bottom line. By taking the time to examine their competition, sellers can learn from them and make improvements to their own listings.
So, how can you examine your competition? Kristin suggests that sellers type in their top keyword phrase for their product and examine the listings on page one. She encourages sellers to read reviews, look at pictures, and compare their listings side by side with their competitors. But, rather than copying their competitors, Kristin suggests that sellers focus on finding one thing they can do better to improve their own listings.
By being intentional and taking the time to examine their competition, Amazon sellers can make improvements to their listings and increase their bottom line. So, take a step back and examine your competition today!
