Amazon Prime Day is almost here.
At this stage, most sellers have already planned their inventory, prepared promotions, and launched their advertising campaigns.
The focus now shifts from preparation to execution.
Here are seven things every Amazon seller should review before Prime Day begins.
1. Double-Check Your Inventory Levels
Nothing hurts Prime Day performance more than running out of stock.
Review:
- Current inventory levels
- Daily sales velocity
- Replenishment timelines
A successful Prime Day campaign can increase sales much faster than expected.
2. Review Your Top PPC Campaigns
Prime Day is not the time to experiment with completely new strategies.
Focus on:
- High-converting keywords
- Proven campaigns
- Strong-performing ASINs
Allocate budget where you already have performance data.
3. Verify Coupons and Promotions
If you’re running:
- Coupons
- Prime Exclusive Discounts
- Promotions
Make sure everything is active and displaying correctly before traffic begins to spike.
Even a small discount can improve click-through and conversion rates during Prime Day.
4. Check Campaign Budgets
Prime Day traffic can exhaust budgets much earlier than normal.
Review:
- Daily budgets
- Portfolio budgets
- High-priority campaigns
Consider increasing budgets on campaigns that consistently generate profitable sales.
5. Monitor Placement Performance
Top of Search placements often receive the highest visibility during Prime Day.
Review your placement reports and determine whether additional placement adjustments make sense for your best-performing campaigns.
6. Watch Conversion Rate Closely
Traffic is important, but conversion rate tells the real story.
If traffic increases while conversions remain flat, review:
- Pricing
- Competitor activity
- Promotions
- Listing quality
Prime Day shoppers are ready to buy, making conversion rate one of the most important metrics to monitor.
7. Have a Post-Prime Day Plan
Prime Day generates valuable data.
After the event, review:
- Top-performing keywords
- New search terms
- Best-selling products
- Campaign profitability
Many sellers discover optimization opportunities that continue producing results long after Prime Day ends.
Final Thoughts
Prime Day success isn’t determined on Prime Day itself.
It’s determined by the decisions sellers make in the days leading up to it.
Focus on:
- Inventory
- Promotions
- Campaign budgets
- Conversion performance
And most importantly, use Prime Day as an opportunity to gather data that can strengthen your Amazon PPC strategy for the rest of the year.
