targeting and should only have your brand name if it is being searched on Amazon (run PPC to see if people are searching your brand)

Bullet Points – Use all 5 bullet points (duh). List features and benefits. Capitalize the first letter of each bullet.

Description – Make the description scannable and avoid a huge block of text. HTML is no longer allowed. Can also include a coupon code for bundles (buy 2 get 1 free).

Keyword Targeting:
Long-tail (specific) searches: Consider using a specific product detail page as your landing page
Short-tail (broad) searches: Create a custom landing page by doing your own search on Amazon for 3 – 5 of your ASINs, and copy the URL from that search. Use that URL as your landing page.
Bid Strategy
Bid conservatively to start out & increase over time
Don’t get emotionally tied to a product – follow the data & promote what sells. Not every product is a winner with PPC advertising

Ads
Placement: On product detail pages below Buy Box

Defensive Placement:
Target your own product detail pages to prevent competitors from advertising against your products
Complementary items typically do well here
ROI will typically be poor, but these ads are here to prevent competitors from poaching your customers, not to drive ROI
Offensive Placement
Target related products of competitors to ensure placement on their detail pages
Turn their customers into your customers

Selling as a 3rd Party through Seller Central, Amazon’s commission will be 15% or less, with FBA’s fixed fees usually falling in the range of 7% - 10% of product price (though that can vary).
Price Control: Reprice at your own discretion to maximize profit
Selection: Sell products Amazon doesn’t want to buy

Risks
Buy Box: If you’re not winning the buy box as a 3rd party seller, sales velocity can drop
Selection: Carefully analyze projected FBA fees so you’re not losing money by selling the product as a 3rd party
