Mina Elias 00:05:56 00:06:12

Cracking the Code: "Amazon's like narnia. A lot of what you're going to hear me talk about is not going to make any sense. Like, why in the first 30, 45 days do you have to sell a lot of units, not profitably, even if it's not profitable, just so Amazon can rank you better. It's like all of these weird things and it's a game and you have to play by the rules."

Mina Elias 00:07:37 00:07:43

Choosing the Right Amazon Strategy: "My playbook perfect. So if you're a brand, you have to pick one of two strategies when you're going into Amazon."

Mina Elias 00:18:24 00:18:27

Creating a Successful Product on Amazon: "To have a successful product, you need to solve a problem better than everyone else."

Mina Elias 00:23:02 00:23:33

Creating a Branded Play on Amazon: "When you're going for the branded play, you're literally going for someone sees you on TikTok, Facebook, whatever, and your name is MMA Nutrition, and they're going to go and they're going to type in MMA Nutrition on Amazon. They're going to see your Headline Search ad. They're going to see your Sponsor products ad, they're going to see your organic search result. They're going to click on you, and then they're going to convert there. I wouldn't worry too much about competition because it is what it is. When it's a branded play, literally, you're like, okay, this is kind of like a Hail Mary."

Mina Elias 00:26:09 00:26:16

Selling on Amazon: "Perfect. So first of all, set up the seller central account usually is a little bit of a pain in the. Ass."

Mina Elias 00:36:29 00:36:57

"The Importance of Product Images in Amazon Listings: So for the main image, basically what you want to do. There's a few software that do this that can help you through data...but it's different enough that when someone sees it, they're like, oh, this is zero sugar. This is the made in the USA. This is this, this is that. They end up clicking on yours."

"The Importance of Image Content in Amazon Listings: I just talked to someone today. They had mushroom gummies. And their images are their bottle, the side of the bottle, the back of the bottle, their bottle on like a little stand with a bunch of fruits around it. And I'm like, okay, in the first five images, I have literally no idea why I should buy your product."

"The Consequences of Running Out of Stock on Amazon: More than anything, I've run out of stock. And literally there's days you kind of look out the window and you're like, Why? It's almost like you basically got caught cheating. Essentially, that's like the feeling you're going to get because you're going to run out of stock. You're going to go back, and you're going to have these beautiful days, super high units being sold. And then all of a sudden, you run out of stock. You come back, you spend money, you do this, you do that. Whatever you do, you're not even able to get to, like, half of the numbers you were at before."

Mina Elias 00:46:16 00:46:21

The Importance of Ad Spend and Conversion Rate: "You never drop. You always go higher with the ad spend. You just want the gap to be bigger."

Mina Elias 00:48:34 00:48:43

"Customer Feedback: But you want to read into that and you want to identify why people are returning your product because you want to be on the forefront of that...if you have those practices in place, you should be totally fine honestly, selling on Amazon in terms of, like, that perspective is very easy."

Mina Elias 00:51:19 00:51:32

Viral Topic: Why a Dedicated Team is Crucial for Brand Success on Amazon

Quote: "It's really kind of like as if it's your own team. Because it is my own team. It's like my brand's team. And I've structured it that way so that everyone feels the same way that I feel."

Mina Elias 00:54:20 00:54:32

The Future of Amazon Marketing: "You're going to get better about targeting. Maybe you start targeting people who have clicked on your listings multiple times and you say, like, if someone's clicked on my product more than once, show up higher, etc."

🎙️ Excited to share my recent guest appearance on the DTC POD with Blaine Bolus! We dived deep into the world of Amazon and discussed strategies to succeed in this complex ecosystem. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: 1️⃣ Research, Analyze, and Optimize: When creating a product listing on Amazon, it's crucial to conduct thorough research on keywords, competitors, and customer preferences. Platforms like Helium Ten and DataDive can assist in analyzing search volume, trends, and competitor rankings. By understanding how competitors solve the problem, we can craft a better solution, enhancing our chances of attracting customers. 2️⃣ Amazon-specific Strategies: Building a successful product on Amazon requires a differentiated approach. While DTC brands may have their own unique strategies, consider developing an Amazon-specific product tailored to the preferences and needs of Amazon shoppers. Look for ways to stand out, solve a problem better than competitors, and justify slightly higher pricing if necessary. 3️⃣ Aggressive Marketing and Inventory: To thrive on Amazon, an aggressive marketing strategy is crucial. Aim to have high-quality creatives, an extensive review base, and consistent inventory. Invest in advertising, improve conversion rates, and never shy away from pushing ad spend. By consistently evaluating and optimizing these factors, we can drive revenue growth and establish a strong presence on the platform. 📈 My journey on Amazon has been a rollercoaster ride, from starting my own supplement brand to scaling it into a million-dollar business. I'm now the founder of Trivium, an Amazon advertising agency, helping brands increase their traffic and conversion rates on the platform. It's been an honor to share my experiences and insights with the DTC POD audience, and I hope our conversation will inspire and guide others navigating the world of Amazon.
