Hey Team!

We are officially standing at the intersection of peak opportunity and peak compliance chaos.

First up: Amazon Prime Days are right around the corner. Your inventory should already be checked in and on its way to a localized FC to be Prime eligible for the big day. Now is the time to turn focus to Q3 and Q4 planning to ensure your FBA supply chain is a competitive advantage.

But there's a second storm most sellers are sleeping on: Amazon's new agent provisions, added to the Business Solutions Agreement and in effect since March 4, are now being actively enforced.

If you haven’t audited your automated listing tools, repricers, or inventory scrapers to ensure they strictly comply with the new guidelines, you are exposed. Amazon is pulling the trigger on enforcement, and the penalty is listing suppression right as the biggest traffic wave of the year hits.

In this week’s newsletter, we’ll break down some tactics to maximize your Prime Days and share some fun updates from the ZonPrep Team!

Let's get after it.

P.S. We’ll be at Amazon Accelerate as a premium sponsor, and will be hosting events Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. We’ll send details on all of our events in upcoming newsletters so you can be the first to sign up, as valued members of our community.

Sell More In Q3 and Q4 With Kits and Bundles

Q4 is the time when storage costs and FBA fees hit you hardest. If you’re not leveraging kits and bundles to increase average sales prices and decrease FBA fees, are you even Amazoning? We’ve created a helpful guide for those of you new to the strategy, including the benefits of bundling and 6 tips for success, including:

1. Use an FBA prep service to handle kitting & bundling
2. Differentiate yourself from competitors
3. Don’t bundle unwanted items together
4. ...Read more to see the full list!

Fail to Inspect, Plan to Fail

Every year, consumers flock to Amazon to secure the best deals possible during the summer shopping holiday, which can make or break a seller’s business.  One sure fire way to have Prime Day or any Amazon tent pole event back fire is to not inspect inventory, leading to a high return rating and potential suspension on the platform.

If the thought of manually inspecting each product yourself seems daunting, don’t fret! There are multiple avenues you can choose to ensure your product’s quality and minimize those returns and poor reviews.
