What is Perfect Launch?
Speed matters in business. For Amazon selling partners, the first 90 days are especially important for establishing marketing, fulfilment, pricing and other practices to accelerate performance beyond launch. Amazon data scientists define the use of five selling programmes (Brand Registry, A+ Content, Fulfilment by Amazon, Automated Pricing and Advertising) within those first 90 days as the Perfect Launch. Selling partners who take these five steps within this crucial time frame can generate sales more quickly, just as many selling partners have already done.

A+ CONTENT
Improve the content on your detail page
Use A+ Content to showcase your brand and product features on Amazon detail pages. Delve into features with technical specifications, comparative product information and additional content, including images, videos or product configuration. Then run A/B tests to optimise conversion using our Manage your experiments tool. Over the past year, thousands of selling partners have used both to maximise product listings.
Adding A+ Content to detail pages can help increase sales by an average of 5.6%.2
