When running an online e-commerce business, you want to do everything you can to boost sales and have as many sales funnels as possible. An excellent way to do this is by embracing the largest e-commerce website globally and selling your products on Amazon. Selling your products on Amazon is a fantastic way to increase sales and brand awareness, and when done correctly, it can be highly lucrative. You can also have Amazon hold your products and ship them for you, handling the logistics and reducing your workload while increasing your profits. However, you will need to do much more than create listings of your products, and you will need to ensure they are well-optimised, so they appear highly in the search results on Amazon. The best way to do this is by using the services of a reputable Amazon agency. Below are some tips to help you find the best one for the job.
Look For Recommendations
An excellent place to start looking for the best Amazon marketing agency in the UK is by asking people and businesses you know if they have any recommendations. If other companies you know are selling their products on Amazon, there is a good chance they will also use the services of an agency to help them optimise their listings and boost more sales. If you are active on the business networking platform LinkedIn, this is an excellent place to ask for recommendations. When you start receiving recommendations on quality Amazon agencies, you can begin compiling a list of them before you search for more options online.
Finding Amazon Agencies Online
A quick search online using your preferred search engine will show you that there are many agencies that can assist you with your Amazon listings to help boost your sales. However, there are varying quality standards for the companies you find online, so you will need to review their websites and rate the quality of their services. Look at all the information they provide and look for companies with case studies of work they have done previously for clients, which will give insight into the quality of their work. When you find what you think is a good-quality Amazon agency, you can add their names to the list you are compiling. You will want to get around ten or more agencies on your list before you start looking at each company in more detail and investigating their online reputations.
Investigating The Amazon Agencies Further
Now that you have a list of ten or more agencies you are considering using to help boost your sales on Amazon, you can start looking at each company in more detail. You will want to look at the companies’ online reputations, and a simple way of doing this is by looking at independent review websites and their social media channels. You can use review websites such as Trustpilot and Yell to see what comments previous clients have left about the companies. You can also use social media platforms to do this, and there are plenty of options available, such as:
- TikTok
- YouTube
- X (Formerly Twitter)
You can look at the reviews and comments left, which will give insight into how the companies operate and which provide quality service. Do not write off any companies with reviews that list problems immediately, as you will want to see how they dealt with them before writing them off. You can use the information you find in your investigation to help reduce the number of companies on your list to a manageable three or four, and then you can start getting ready to contact them.
Preparing To Speak To The Amazon Agencies
Before you start contacting the remaining Amazon agencies on your list, you will want to prepare yourself and prepare a list of suitable questions you can ask them. Having a list of questions prepared means you can ask each agency the same ones, making it easier to compare them and the answers you receive. There are various things you will want to ask, such as:
- Can You Demonstrate a Proven ROI for Your Services?
- How Transparent Are You with Your Processes and Performance Metrics?
- How Do You Stay Ahead of Amazon’s Algorithm Changes and Policy Updates?
If you search online, there are plenty of questions you can ask potential agencies, and you can click here to get more ideas. Once you have prepared your list of questions, you can start contacting each agency.
Speaking With The Amazon Agencies
You can now start contacting the Amazon agencies on your list and speaking with them about your services. They will have lots of questions you must answer so they can gauge what you need, and you can also ask them the questions you prepared. It is a good idea to ask if you can email your questions and have them answer them; this way, it will be easier to compare the answers you receive. Once the agencies have all the information they need, they can generate a proposal for the work they suggest required, and once you have received all the proposals and answers to your questions, you can start comparing them.
Deciding Which Amazon Agency To Use
You must now sit back and digest all the information each agency has given to you and start comparing the proposals you receive. You want to avoid deciding solely based on the cost and, instead, try to determine which agency offers the best value for money. You also want to select the agency with which you feel you have the best rapport and can communicate freely. Take your time deciding which Amazon agency fits your company’s needs best, and once you have made your decision, let all the agencies know your intentions.
When you have done your due diligence and selected the best Amazon agencies to contact, your business will be in an excellent position to boost its sales on the Amazon platform and ensure its success. The additional sales funnel can take your business to the next level, help you dominate your sector, and leave your competitors in your wake.
