In the highly competitive world of Amazon selling, launching a new product can be both exciting and challenging. One of the key factors that influence the success of a new product launch is customer trust, and what better way to build that trust than with reviews?
Amazon has recently updated its Vine program, allowing sellers to receive authentic reviews even before their product officially launches. This opens up a new avenue for sellers to gather social proof and increase visibility from day one. In this blog post, we’ll explain how you can leverage Amazon Vine to supercharge your product launch.

What Is Amazon Vine and How Does It Work?
Amazon Vine is a review program that allows sellers to offer free products to Vine Voices—Amazon’s most trusted product reviewers. In exchange for receiving a product for free, Vine Voices leave detailed, authentic reviews on the product page.
In the past, sellers had to wait until their product launched to begin collecting reviews. Now, thanks to the new updates to Amazon Vine, sellers can gather reviews before their product even hits the marketplace.
Why Should You Use Amazon Vine for Your Product Launch?
- Boost Product Visibility
Getting early reviews helps your product gain visibility in Amazon’s crowded marketplace. Products with reviews are more likely to rank higher, making it easier for customers to find them. - Increase Trust with Real Customer Feedback
Customers trust products with real reviews, especially from Vine Voices. These reviews improve conversion rates, making customers feel confident in their purchase decisions. - Jumpstart Your Product Launch
With up to 30 reviews from day one, you’ll have immediate social proof that can set your product apart from the competition.

Enrolling your product in Amazon Vine is easy:
- Go to Seller Central and navigate to the Vine program section.
