Amazon Movers and Shakers: Trending Amazon Products

2018-12-10T13:37:53+00:00

The Buy Box is the goal of most merchants of Amazon. But for those who want to reach new levels of visibility, making it onto the Movers and Shakers list — the list of hotly-rising products in various categories — is a new goal. FeedbackExpress shows you what it takes to get there.   Movers and Shakers: How the List is Compiled Amazon’s Movers and Shakers list shows which products have made the biggest gains in sales rank over the last 24 hours. And because things change so rapidly on Amazon, the Movers and Shakers list is updated every hour, giving you up-to-date information on trending topics.

This might sound familiar with Amazon’s Best Sellers Page, as both are globally updated hourly, but there is one key difference. The Movers and Shakers page focuses on products with the biggest improvements in sales rankings over the last 24 hours, while products on the Best Sellers page are curated by

How to Sell Books on Amazon

2018-11-30T16:28:00+00:00

Amazon got its start selling books and has kept up a strong market in it. Depending on how you approach it, it can be either very tough or a handy niche to break into. But because we’re FeedbackExpress, we’re going to show you how to bypass the former and head straight to the latter so you can rock selling books on Amazon.   Setting Up to Sell Books on Amazon If you’re going to make a go of it, there are a few things you need first: Register for an account on Seller Central (either individual or professional). Download the Amazon Seller App. Decide if you’re going to go the FBA or FBM route.

Figure out the kind of books you want to sell (i.e. books listed by a publisher; books listed by an online store; secondhand books listed by Amazon members; or self-published books listed by the author). It might be worth it to start in one or two categories,

5 Ways to Build Ecommerce Brand Awareness

2018-11-22T14:04:57+00:00

Extending your ecommerce brand awareness is one way to getting new customers. It’s not enough that you keep marketing to your old and existing customers when there’s a lot of profit potential to be had with new customers. If you’re currently in a funk because your customer base isn’t growing, these are the five best actions you can take right now to build your ecommerce brand awareness.   1. Team up with other businesses Partnering with other businesses can be a great way to extend brand reach. Of course, you don’t just partner with any brand. If it’s your competitor, you especially don’t want to partner with them. You want a business that compliments your offering. For example, if you’re a swimwear brand, it may be worthwhile to team up with a sunblock brand. Reach out to them and maybe you can come up with a campaign that can be mutually beneficial. You’ll get access to each other’s audiences which in turn will increase brand awareness for your business.   2. Give email marketing a try Email marketing is one sure-fire way to keep your
