How can I place an order on Amazon? How long does it take for a new store to place an order?

As more and more sellers open stores on Amazon, it has become more difficult to place orders on Amazon. However, new sellers should not be discouraged by Amazon. Now I will tell you some practical methods to place orders on Amazon.

0 to 20 days: Logistics options, Amazon FBA logistics is recommended

There are two main logistics methods used for Amazon. One is the seller’s self-delivery FBM (Fulfillment By Merchant); the other is Amazon Logistics FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon).

Benefits of using FBA: It helps sellers save a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Sellers only need to send the goods to Amazon warehouses, and Amazon will be responsible for warehousing. When buyers place orders, Amazon will complete the order sorting, packaging and delivery, and provide buyers with consulting, return and other services.

Logistics costs are a cost that cannot be ignored. In order to reduce the logistics burden of sellers, Amazon has launched projects such as "Amazon Logistics New Product Selection Plan", "European First-Mile Freight Subsidy", and "New Site Consolidation Plan" for different sites. These projects can help sellers reduce the initial testing costs and help sellers quickly start selling new products.

0 to 30 days: Optimize listings and increase conversions

The key points of optimizing Listing include:

1. Start from the perspective of consumers and set keywords;

2. Start with product information and set display elements such as main picture, auxiliary picture, title, five-point description, search keywords, etc. to match consumer needs;

3. Grasp the four major elements of keywords, classification leaf nodes, titles, and main pictures to increase natural traffic;

4. Use graphic detail pages (A+/EBC) to upgrade product descriptions, show usage scenarios through a rich combination of pictures, texts, and videos, reflect product functions, increase page attractiveness, and improve consumers' willingness to buy.

It should be noted that except for Japanese sellers who can use 15 sets of A+ page templates for free, only brand-registered sellers on the other 16 sites can use A+ pages.

Days 15 to 35: Use Amazon Advertising to attract traffic

The premise for store transactions is exposure, and Amazon advertising is undoubtedly the most important tool for products to gain exposure besides natural traffic.

New ASINs can use "Sponsored Products" type ads, which use keywords or products to match user searches, achieve precise and targeted display on the search results page or product details page, and accumulate initial traffic.

Days 20 to 40: Use promotional tools to increase sales

1. Use Amazon Coupons

Amazon coupons are a common promotional method for all sellers with relatively low thresholds. You can use coupons to create discounts for a single or a group of products, and you can also enjoy the automatic promotion service provided by Amazon. Usually, the duration of coupons is 1-90 days, and they are displayed on both the PC and mobile terminals of the Amazon shopping mall, which is a good helper for you to promote your products.

2. Use Lightning Deals

Flash Deals are an accelerator for increasing sales and can help you increase sales quickly. During use, you can monitor product sales. If the progress bar is always below 20%, it is recommended to stop using Flash Deals and find out the reason. If the Flash Deals work well and the product needs long-term exposure in the future, you can continue to use 7-day Deals to stabilize sales.

How long does it take for a new store to place orders?

Generally, when a new store opens, Amazon will provide some traffic support. If the product selection is good, an order can be placed within 3 days, and if the product selection is average, an order can be placed within 7 days. Of course, no matter which platform you choose, you will always encounter some difficulties at the beginning.

Amazon has always provided certain support to newly opened stores, and the sellers themselves must also seize this period of support from Amazon to see whether placing orders is a problem. Finally, I wish all sellers can make money on Amazon.
