AMZ Seller News #21: huge announcement for Amazon Sellers, Amazon fires Retail employees and more

Amazon Account Health Assurance (AHA) is here!

I give you…Account Health Assurance (AHA)

Bill D’Alessandro and other Amazon Sellers shared yesterday the launch of Account Health Assurance (AHA):

A new benefit for sellers who consistently achieve a high Account Health Rating (AHR). With Account Health Assurance, we will no longer deactivate your selling account as long as you work with us to resolve any issues.

This is massive!

a benefit for professional sellers in our US and Canada stores (other countries will be launched over the coming months) who maintain an AHR score of 250 or higher for at least 6 months and have a valid emergency contact number on file.

And here comes the best part:

When you encounter an issue that would otherwise result in account deactivation, an account health specialist will proactively reach out and explain step-by-step what the issue is and how to address it.

OMG, I'm hyperventilating.

📈 Meet THE Repricer

So I’ve been playing with different repricers for some time now and I finally made my mind: Seller Snap is the best one I’ve found so far.

Not only it focuses on winning the Buy Box, but it also raises your product price to get the most profit without losing Buy Box %.

🤓 Amazon Pro Tip

This week’s pro tip is brought to you by my friend Jon Elder aka Black Label Advisor, former Top 3,000 AMZ Seller, Exited his brands for 7 Figures.

A lot of Amazon sellers get obsessed with launching new products when they should be taking that capital and building our their existing winners.

For example, let’s say you have a parent with two child variations doing a total of $75,000 per month.

Instead of launching brand new products starting from scratch, add new variations and use the existing reviews to your advantage!

Now, I’m not recommending you to neglect new product launches but I am saying that sellers would be wise to allocate upwards of 70% of their capital for variation expansion.

Variation buildout is a proven way to fast track your brand to $10 million and beyond.
