Episode 285 - Supercharging Sales with Coupons
Amazon coupons. Scott explores their potential to significantly boost your sales.
Despite recent changes in Amazon's discounting policies, coupons remain a powerful tool for sellers. Scott discusses how coupons can drive click-through and conversion rates, even if not all customers utilize them.
He also explores a case study featuring a top-selling brand, Jackery, which effectively employs a dual strategy of large coupons and discounts to maximize sales. He discusses the controversial practice of price inflation before applying significant discounts, a tactic used by brands such as Jackery to circumvent Amazon's pricing policies.
Furthermore, Scott examines current trends in Amazon's discounting landscape, including the declining effectiveness of Prime Exclusive Discounts and the untapped potential of traditional coupons - providing strategic insights on how to effectively use coupons to clear inventory, increase market share, and avoid potential pitfalls like Amazon-to-Amazon arbitrage.
