Amazon has increased its sales to almost $470 billion worldwide. In his drive to make Amazon an “everything store,” founder Jeff Bezos began selling books in 1995. But soon he expanded the business, adding new products and reaching out to online customers.
There’s always something you can do to improve your Amazon store, whether it is new or established.
If you want to set up your Amazon business for success in 2023, here are 10 tips that can help. Even on one of the world’s largest internet marketplaces, sales might plateau—so use these ideas as a guide.
There are many trends—from clothing and food to technology and business practices. If you work in a particular field, it’s likely that you’re aware of the current fads; at a minimum, be up-to-date on recent developments in your area (and how those changes might impact your job). Here are a few tips to help you become an Amazon power seller:
Research Your Market
You should always do some market research before listing products on Amazon.
In addition to knowing the best product to sell and the right consumers, it is also essential that you research your competitors. Use Amazon’s search bar to look for core keywords—and compare what they offer with what you’re planning on offering.
Follow Amazon’s image guidelines.
All Amazon seller images must meet technical specifications.
- Amazon product images must be at least 1000 pixels long, and 500 pixels wide.
- In order to ensure that your product is well-centered and large enough in the photo, it should take up at least 85% of the space.
- Images should be no larger than 10,000 pixels in length.
- The maximum size of an uploaded image is 10 MB.
Amazon also specifies that the product listed should appear on a plain white background, which is common with most e-commerce sites!

Always Stock Up On Your Products
If you run out of stock, Google may take this into account when it ranks your site. The longer you are out of stock and the more notice users receive about the issue.
If you think you’ll run out of stock, here are two things to consider:
- Offer your product or service at a higher price, but be sure to maintain competitive pricing: This will hurt you in the short-term by lowering ad clickthrough and conversion rates.
- Reclaim your listing’s ranking by driving sales through Amazon Advertising.
Gather Good Reviews
When we are fearful of making a choice, our brain reverts to particular elements and makes a choice based on that restricted knowledge. The first aspect on which we rely is social proof—other people’s ideas about what the right decision might be.
People tend to be more persuaded by products with many reviews than those with only a few. To increase sales, therefore, solicit honest feedback from customers and give away your product in exchange for evaluations— the more people who try it out, the better!
Gather positive reviews—and, if necessary, offer incentives for good ratings. These have a huge influence on whether or not the transaction happens and can affect your placement in search results.
How to Establish Your Brand on Amazon
Your entire Amazon business—your product listings, customer service interactions, media coverage, etc.—is an opportunity to tell the story of your brand.
Amazon has introduced Image-led browsing (beta) to increase brand discovery and consideration through curated lifestyle images. If you want to display your business, the Amazon storefront is a terrific place—and it’s free!
To access this feature you have to have a professional seller account, and if you register your brand with FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) then they’ll give you an enhanced URL; additional product listing space; etc.
Takeaway
By taking a strategic approach to your work and combining it with contemporary technical advancements, you will ensure that each one of your clients is completely satisfied.
Achieving a successful Amazon business takes more than just selling your items in upcoming sales. But armed with the knowledge you’ll get from reading this article, you’ll be better equipped to develop strategies for increasing future sales as well! By using the most current technologies and following an effective strategic plan, you will provide better service to your clients.
