How to optimize Amazon product strategy: from multi-attribute products to competitive product analysis
On Amazon, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world, if sellers want to stand out, they need to master a series of strategies, from the creation of multi-attribute products to competitive product analysis to selecting products with differentiated advantages. Every link is crucial.
Creation and management of multi-attribute products
Multi-attribute products are mainly suitable for clothing and jewelry products, and are often called variant products. This product display format allows buyers to choose size, color, or a combination of both. When selecting different attributes, price, inventory and other information will also change accordingly. Creating this type of product requires going through the following steps:
- Enter the Seller Center backend, create a new product and select a category. This step is the same as “Single Product Upload”.
- Select a variation theme. Find the “Variation Theme” option under the product’s “Vital Info” or “More Details” tab and select a combination such as size and color.
- Fill in product information. Enter the adding size and color interface under the “Variations” tab, and create a combination of variation themes through the “Add variation” button. Add information such as Seller SKU, UPC or EAN, Condition, Your price, Sale price, Sale start date, Sale end date and Quantity in the “Variations Matrix”.
- Save information. After completing all required options, click the “Save and finish” button to save the information. You can then view multi-attribute products on the Manage Inventory page, click the plus sign in front of the parent product to expand the list of child products, select the “Manage product images” option, and upload the main images of all child products.
The importance of competitive product analysis
Competitive product analysis is an important means for Amazon sellers to improve product competitiveness and sales. First of all, sellers need to identify target competing products. These competing products should be similar to their own products and be in the same market and product category. Secondly, analyze the product information of competing products, including price, features, and descriptions; secondly, analyze the sales of competing products, such as sales rankings, reviews and ratings, sales volume, and sales; finally, understand the marketing strategies of competing products, such as Advertising, promotional activities, social media marketing, etc.
Avoid intellectual property risks
Intellectual property risks are issues that sellers need to pay attention to, including trademark infringement, patent infringement and copyright infringement. A trademark protects a brand name or design, a patent protects the product itself, and a copyright protects literary, artistic and scientific works. Sellers can avoid potential risks by checking the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), as well as consulting intellectual property agencies.
Conclusion
Whether it is the creation of multi-attribute products or competitive product analysis, these are aspects that Amazon sellers cannot ignore. The right strategy can not only increase product exposure, but also enhance the brand’s market competitiveness. At the same time, understanding and avoiding intellectual property risks is the basis for ensuring sustainable business development.
