🪖Thank You for Serving the USA

I'm a bit late but if you are one of the 18 million veterans in America, I want to say THANK YOU.

Thank you for sacrificing so we can live in freedom. Thank you for going into dangerous places and risking your lives for us.

If you're not a veteran, I want to encourage you to go out of your way to thank them in person. I never regret doing this and I doubt you will either.

🚀 This Week's Amazon Hack: 3 Important Guardrails

I can't tell you how many Amazon native brands forget to do three simple things to protect their business. I see it all the time with new clients. When I tell them, their jaws drop.

Black Friday is just 17 days away. I highly recommend that you keep reading.

1- Head on over to your inventory settings and create a maximum order quantity limit of 100 or even lower depending on your category. This will ensure your inventory is protected. There is nothing worse than bad actors placing inauthentic orders on a massive scale to mess up your Q4 plans. I have had this happen to me, so please listen!
​
2- Create what I call a "DOOM" account. Before Black Friday, the last thing you want is to be locked out of your main selling account. This becomes an insurance policy to make sure you still have access to Seller Support. This will be a secondary user account under your seller account. Make sure you use a brand new email address, a unique password, and a different OTP method. I can't tell you how many sellers have overcome account suspensions thanks to a DOOM account!

3- Would you like it if all of your neighbors watched you take a shower? Didn't think so. So, why would you be OK with all of our import records being public? Do you really want your competitors to know which overseas factories you use? I'm sure you're reading this and thinking, "Wait, is that actually possible?" Not only is it possible but U.S. Customs makes it easy to keep all of your import shipments 100% confidential. Simply go HERE and submit a request. Once you do this, ONLY your sea shipments will be protected. Also, all past shipments will remain public.

There you have it. Guardrails exist for a reason!

🔥 Hot Amazon Seller News:

Sometimes, Amazon rolls out updates that go largely ignored.
​
This time, they announced a MAJOR update to your coupons but I bet you you haven't updated this in your Seller Account.
​
​Introducing Non-Stackable Coupons!​
​
3P sellers have asked for this change ever since coupons were offered by Amazon as a marketing tool.
​
🎉 Amazon actually listened! ​
​
Historically, sellers have found themselves in the not-so-fun situation of watching their Q4 inventory disappear seemingly overnight due to buyers stacking multiple discounts.
​
💡 What this means for you as a seller:​
​
1. You can rest easy about coupons stacking with % off promotions. The days of stressing out about this are over.
​
2. Your Q4 inventory is secure! Amazon already poses a risk to your inventory from the FBA side so this is one less "X Factor" to worry about in an already rocky Q4.
​
📌 Important Clarification: Deals are still stackable right now. An important distinction. This update only applies to coupons being stacked with % off or Buy 1 Get 1 promotions.
​
Don't postpone this. Go update this right now!
