Why Your Store Needs Amazon Virtual Assistance?

It’s natural to be confused about hiring virtual assistants for managing your store on Amazon, but different sellers have different business objectives, and the most common of them is staying up-to-date. Whether you are new to Amazon seller central or a top seller on the Amazon marketplace, you should hire an Amazon expert for complete store management. Things To Consider There are some requirements you should have as a top Amazon seller before hiring Amazon virtual assistance. Whether you deploy a team of professionals or a single service expert, you need assistance that perfectly fits your business. A team of Amazon experts will make sure your store is always up to date and that your content is revised as per Amazon’s changing guidelines. There are some basic requirements you should expect from an Amazon VA (virtual assistant) and such services include: ASIN Optimization To improve product visibility on Amazon, your VA should be conducting routine checks on the content like in the product description, search terms, and bullet points. This means that as an amazon human resource, your products should be optimized accordingly. Right from competitive research of keywords and ranking, to generating high-quality content, that is specifically (Amazon-rich) keyword based, your VA should enhance the product’s visibility so it ranks higher on Amazon’s marketplace. This ensures you get higher traffic with customers being directed to your product’s page. This process includes generating high-value content that contains keywords that are indexed regularly. Amazon A+/EBC Content Creation Every seller on Amazon receives the bonus of creating A+ templates for their listings to enhance brand awareness and product visibility. This process of generating A+ content, and understanding the guidelines of the different templates present on seller central, are unique assets of an amazon human resource who’s trained in Amazon content generation & marketing. The templates allow you to feature up to six unique facts about your product, including banners, high-quality images and brand history. The tricky part is getting your content approved on Amazon because there are many sellers who face a backlash when their A+ is rejected. For example, your EBC submission can face rejection if your logo contains “trademark” or “copyright” symbols, and there are certain words you cannot use in the content. FBA Program – Setting Up Your Account An expert Amazon VA will help you create your FBA account or can assist in converting the FBM into an FBA account. Apart from preparing your products for shipment, the amazon human resource will also ensure that proper labelling is done by downloading barcodes for each unit.

In case of missing units, your amazon human resources will contact customer support and mandate your amount be reimbursed. Inventory management is another major task your amazon human resources should be aware of to ensure your products never run out of stock, especially during the holiday season like Black Friday and Christmas. Conceptualizing Amazon Infographics If you find Amazon virtual assistance in a single platform, you’re lucky because a team of professionals can ensure you receive more than a single benefit. Image services. If you’re an Amazon seller, your product’s presentation is of utmost importance especially if you intend on regularly optimizing the content. While basic e-commerce tasks should be handled at the backend, receiving premium services in the form of Amazon infographics is a huge boost. The process involves upgrading simplistic product images with enhanced brand images that describe all features using both graphics and text. Does Your VA Offer Competitor Analysis? Don’t get confused between an Amazon copywriter and an Amazon Human resource. Find both solutions in one. A thoroughbred copywriter will possess the skill set of writing optimized ad copies, and split testing and will also conduct ASIN optimization. Competitor analysis is another vertical of content management and it includes: Auditing Amazon product listings Checking reviews of competitive listings Finding target keywords used by your competition Study ad campaigns set by your competition Competitive listing’s price and monthly sales estimation Amazon Sponsored Ads Now, this part of your product marketing strategy might get tricky so here’s a quick tip. Hire an expert VA who understands PPC in general and has the ability to monitor, track, and report competitive PPC campaigns. Since Amazon offers sellers the chance to boost their sales during the holiday season, using sponsored ads with high-converting keywords, is a must. Your amazon human resource must know how to set up both manual and auto campaigns, ensure a low ACOS rate, and never forget to stop an automated campaign. Understanding demography is a huge bonus and if your amazon human resource knows where your sales hit the highest, and gives an in-depth knowledge of your best clientele, you’re in for a treat. What about vendor central? Here’s everything your amazon human resource should be following if you’re a vendor and are looking for apt services: Checking the status of inventory, sales, and return numbers Checking PO to see if they’re submitted, pending, and correct Check any issues that might occur with the invoices Check for vendor returns Check for chargebacks and how to resolve those issues Check the status of existing disputes and case logs Check for coupon recommendations Conduct routine operations like new order confirmation, incomplete/ pending shipments, product submissions, order confirmation slip submission, POD submission, and vendor operational performance.

Amazon Review Management: How To Handle Negative Reviews

Successful Amazon sellers know that apart from having a well-optimised keyword-stuffed listing and great product images, there is so much more to getting that ‘Best Seller’ tag or winning the ‘Buy Box’. 61% of online shoppers read reviews before they move an item to the cart. It has been proved time and again that user reviews increase conversion to a great extent. Consumer reviews are treasured digital testimonials and are trusted 12 times more than the manufacturer’s detailed product descriptions. However, if you are selling on Amazon, negative reviews are inevitable, and you are bound to get them. A not-so-great feedback is not the end of the world if you know the knicks and knacks of ‘Amazon Review Management’. Bad Reviews Are Good Too Negative reviews are not all that bad. Some bad reviews are good too. Why? Because it makes it look real. People get suspicious if all they see are 4 or 5-star ratings. Online buyers have the maturity to understand that there is no single product that can please everyone. A recent survey conducted by Revoo shows that negative reviews actually help improve conversions by 67%. So, don’t fret over bad reviews too much. Just make sure you have a ton of good reviews as well to balance it all out. Watch Your Listing Regularly It is believed that customers develop a good impression and take down or update negative feedback if the seller acknowledges their problem within 48 hours. How do you know when you get a negative review? Amazon won’t send you any notifications and the only way to stay informed is to watch your listings like a hawk every day. Of course, that will eat up a lot of your time especially if your listing is big. There are a lot of feedback monitoring tools available in the market that track product reviews and send an automatic email response. Better yet, you can hire our expert Customer Service Virtual Assistants to give a personalized touch to emails that are sent and offer solutions to customers in a professional way. Best Practices We have compiled a list of the best practices to deal with negative reviews. • Be quick in responding to negative feedback. Setting up a fixed time every day is a good idea to ensure that the customer is happy. • Acknowledge the buyer’s problems and admit them. If the item is broken or damaged during shipping or transit, you need to be able to be of help to the customer that has paid money for your product. • Don’t be defensive and try to be polite and helpful. • Apologize, even if it is no fault of your own. • Watch your words as other potential customers will be reading your comments before they purchase your product. • When all is done, give your contact information (email or phone number) to the buyer so they can reach out to you. Offer replacement or refund if needed. Follow up once in a while till the issue is resolved and request the customer to remove or update the feedback. How To Contact The Buyer? 1. Contact buyer from your Orders This is the most common way of reaching out to those who have left bad reviews. Go to the “Manage orders” section and go to that particular order where you got the negative review. 2. Comments Section Click on the comments section and write an open message there. The comments section is meant for customers to interact with each other about the product. There are no hard rules that the seller shouldn’t write to the buyer there. You can write your reply right here in this box. Keep in mind that all eyes are on you. Going public means that you are prone to be watched by other sellers and prospective buyers. It is important to maintain a polite tone in offering a solution. This will help you gain the trust of other potential buyers. Requesting Amazon To Remove A Review Amazon doesn’t always remove a negative review unless there is a solid reason for it. As a seller, if you feel offended, and feel that it is no mistake of yours or you smell something fishy, you can always report it to Seller Support and request they take it down. Here are a few valid reasons for which you can request a removal: • The review has cuss words or inappropriate language • The complaint is not product related • Designed to promote a competitor’s product • Reviews posted intentionally by another seller Bottom Line There is no escaping negative reviews no matter how good your product is. You can only damage control and turn the stone in your favor by following best practices and responding promptly.
