5 Reasons Your Amazon Products Are Not Selling
Some sellers may be stuck in a dilemma: Even though they've put their whole heart to run their business, their products are still not selling at all. However, there is no need to give up just yet. Indeed, there might be a very obvious explanation why your things aren't selling. The good news is... There are also very apparent solutions to address these difficulties, enhance your conversions, and see your goods flourish.
Here are five reasons why your things aren't selling and how to address this problem.
1. Unsatisfactory product reviews
According to statistics, the majority of all online customers decide what items and services to buy based on reviews. Reviews provide a way for sellers and customers to connect with each other. Reviews can not only impact customer decisions but also help to increase a seller's credibility. Unsatisfactory reviews can have a dramatic, and sometimes detrimental effect on business.
2. Inferior listing details
Online shoppers judge a product by its bad images, titles, descriptions, and reviews, which can really harm a business. You may lose sales if your listing is not optimized enough. Listing optimization is not a one-time thing. You have to constantly update your listings to help your products rank higher in Amazon search results.
Title
It's the first thing shoppers see on Amazon search results. The title of your product should appropriately represent it and attract the buyer to click on it. Make sure that the initial letter of each word is capitalized. Of course, if you want that consumer clicks to be successful, you must ensure that there are no broken links and that the user is directed to the correct product page. This is simply accomplished by employing suitable redirects as necessary.
Images
You can upload up to nine photos, including a lead image, with a maximum size of 1000x500px. Make sure your product images create a narrative by showcasing it from multiple perspectives and how people would utilize it in real life.
Key Features
Products' bullet points outline the key features in a concise way. Product bullet points should be capitalized properly, and convey the product's important qualities.
Price
Look at your competitors' pricing and make your pricing competitive. Remember, a low price may not be always good because customers may think it's cheap due to the poor quality, while a high price makes it hard to sell.
Product Description
Product description is the least important part of listing optimization. It is limited to 2000 characters count, so it is very important to know what Amazon is looking for in this section to get the best use of the characters you choose. Describe the major product features, such as size, style, and what the product can be used for. Include accurate dimensions, care instructions, and warranty information. Use correct grammar, punctuation, and complete sentences.
3. Less-competitive pricing strategies
A pricing strategy is a method for determining a price that is considered as reasonable by customers while yet making a profit. According to Statista, 70% of respondents claimed that price was the most important factor influencing them to shop. When planning your pricing strategies, first, you must determine the price at which you will be able to profit. Second, you must consider the various fees that Amazon will charge you after the sale. Finally, you must consider the cost of purchasing the goods and shipping them to an Amazon or third-party warehouse. You'll be ready to launch your goods on Amazon once you've sorted out your Amazon selling pricing plan.
