There are a few steps involved in selling your products on Amazon, and some are a little more complicated than others. But if you complete all these steps, you\u2019ll be able to benefit from Amazon\u2019s incredible advantages and quickly scale your business.<\/p>\n

How exactly can your small business best benefit from Amazon\u2019s selling platform? Follow these tips for selling products on Amazon and stand out from the crowd, and win tons of sales over your competition.<\/p>\n

1. Check for New Orders Daily<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Since customer service is a key metric by which Amazon determines your success as a seller, it\u2019s crucial to know when a new customer has purchased your product. That way, you can promptly fill and ship every order you receive.<\/p>\n

Amazon sends you an email notification when you have a sale, but those emails aren\u2019t always reliable. Get in the habit of checking the Seller Central portal every day, so you can really stay on top of new orders or notifications from your customers.<\/p>\n

2. Confirm When You Ship<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Product sellers should always confirm on the Seller Central portal when an order has shipped. Amazon only charges your customer\u2019s credit card\u00a0after<\/em>\u00a0the shipment is confirmed. So, in addition to good customer service, this step is important to get yourself paid quickly.<\/p>\n

Remember that you\u2019re responsible for confirming shipment within the time frame that you specified in your shipping settings. To confirm that Amazon has shipped an order, go to the Orders tab, then select the Confirm Shipment button for the order in question.<\/p>\n

3. Check Your Inventory Regularly<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Keep track of how much inventory you have<\/a> in stock at all times. Realizing that you\u2019re unexpectedly out of stock and can\u2019t fulfill an order is a recipe for negative customer feedback\u2014which can have a dramatic impact on your future sales.<\/p>\n

4. Keep Pricing Information Up-to-Date<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Shoppers are most likely to choose the lowest-priced deals (as long as they are listed near the top of the results page). So if you hold a sale or lower your prices, make sure to update your product listings to reflect those changes.<\/p>\n

5. Respond to Customers Promptly<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the benefits of partnering with Amazon is your association with the brand\u2019s top-notch reliability and customer service. As a new seller, you start with the benefit of Amazon\u2019s built-in credibility. But it\u2019s your responsibility to maintain that credibility by being highly reliable and responsive to customers.<\/p>\n

If an order is delayed, for instance, reach out to the customer to give them a heads up. Or if a customer contacts you because they didn\u2019t receive a shipment, or the product was damaged, respond immediately, and take steps to remedy the situation.<\/p>\n

6. Build a Five-Star Feedback Rating<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Cultivating a strong customer feedback rating is key to your selling experience on Amazon\u2014both for improving buyer perception of your product listings and for improving the placement of your products on the offer listing page.<\/p>\n
