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

As the Amazon platform continues to grow, more and more people are starting to open stores on Amazon. After we open a store on Amazon, we need to take some measures to promote it, just to let more people know about our store. How long does it usually take for a novice to place an order?

It’s hard to say. Generally, it takes about a month. Here are some tips for novice sellers to quickly place orders:

1. Choose a low-priced traffic-generating product. The main reason why new stores don’t make orders is that there is no traffic, and sellers don’t know how to attract potential customers into the store. Personally, I think that if you want to attract traffic, it is critical to choose the right and good traffic-generating products. For new products that have just been launched, the weight of various aspects of the listing will be relatively low. At this time, price advantage is an important factor in making the listing stand out. If there is no competitive advantage in price, the weight and ranking of the new product listing are relatively low, the product will not have a chance to be displayed, and naturally there will be no traffic, let alone orders.

Therefore, novice sellers need to choose a low-priced hot-selling product as a store traffic-generating product. What is a low-priced hot-selling product? For example, some hot-selling products on the platform have very low prices. Although there is no profit, this kind of product is suitable for being used as a "traffic-generating" product, because hot-selling products already have a large market. When choosing products, users often ignore sales and reviews, and first choose low-priced products to place orders.

2. Keep up with the pace of festivals to carry out promotional activities. In recent years, various e-commerce platforms and stores have carried out festival promotional activities with different themes at different time points. As an Amazon seller, festival marketing is a key point to increase sales. New sellers must seize this opportunity to carry out activities, promotions, and price cuts. Especially Prime Day on the Amazon platform, it can be said to be the holiday with the highest sales every year. Of course, in addition to Prime Day, there are also Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other festivals that should not be missed.

3. Listing optimization focuses on the use of long-tail keywords. In addition to low prices and holiday promotions to attract traffic, listing optimization is also an important link. If price determines sales, then listing is the link that determines life and death. A good listing can improve the ranking of the product, help you get more traffic, and even create a hit for you. How to optimize the listing? In fact, there are fixed formulas for reference, such as: brand + core keywords + core or features + scope of application + product attributes. For new products, the use of long-tail keywords is very important, because the role of keywords in the listing can have a direct reverse flow effect.

For novice sellers, although there are not many users searching for long-tail words, sellers who search for long-tail words are more accurate and have stronger purchasing intentions. Of course, every buyer will pay attention to keywords, but for different sellers, their emphasis will be different. If a listing has been made into a hot-selling product, then the seller will definitely pay great attention to this core keyword because it can occupy the largest traffic. However, if it is a new listing, you can start with its long-tail keywords, so that it is easier to get more long-tail keyword traffic.

4. Create product differentiation. For novice sellers, there is another way to quickly obtain traffic and orders, that is, follow-selling. As a special mechanism on the Amazon platform, follow-selling is widely used by some self-built sellers, but there are still many sellers on the platform who follow-sell, especially novice sellers. If conditions permit, try to find your own product differentiation on the same product. Even if you can sell at a low price, you cannot prevent fellow sellers from selling at a low price. Therefore, create product differentiation and ensure that your product has a competitive advantage. Product differentiation can be reflected in product design. For the same product, innovation in design can give consumers a brand new feeling; product materials, high-quality materials are more popular with consumers; product packaging, personalized guarantees can attract consumers' attention.

The situations of different stores are different. Some Amazon stores have orders within a few days of opening, while some stores have not seen any movement for several months. Therefore, merchants must master some operation and promotion skills. After all, only in this way can orders be placed faster.
