Build A+ content to increase product conversion

There are a host of ways to enhance your presence on Amazon – if your brand has its own product page, for example, you’re already off to a great start!

But how can you enhance it further? Beyond the basic image and text content that already serves to draw buyers to your page?

Every purchase is, before it ever gets to checkout, a fact-finding mission. Buyers want to make as informed a decision as they can when parting ways with their money. Each one comes to a potential transaction with a list of questions and

A+ content gives brands the best chance of answering them.

What Are the Benefits?

A+ content builds on top of the usual tools, allowing sellers to use more layers of content to give shoppers an understanding of a product, these include:

  • Customizable headers and images
  • Bespoke layouts for image and text
  • Comparison charts for products
  • Bulleted lists of product features
  • Will show up on the Product Description section of the detail page
  • 360-degree product views
  • Clickable Q&A
  • Testimonials

It also gives more opportunity to showcase the brand as a whole with a broader kit of multimedia tools like:

  • Image and text cards
  • Links to the brand store and other products under its umbrella
  • Carousel displays with full-screen backgrounds, compatible with both mobile and desktop displays
  • Shows up on the From the Brand section of the detail page

The added value in terms of brand experience also translates to sales, with Amazon suggesting that the use of A+ tends to increase sales by up to 20%, with the difference depending on factors like price, quality of content, and product category.

Who Can Use It?

A+ Content is available to sellers with a Professional selling account. You must also have generic products listed in your catalog or prove that you’re a representative for a brand enrolled in the Amazon Brand Registry.

Unlike with many ASINs that are sold by multiple vendors, only product that are sold exclusively by one seller can be promoted with A+.

Not all A+ content is paid. All brands have access to “Basic A+” for free, allowing them to enhance product descriptions. They can also highlight key features using images, customized text placements, and shoppable product comparison charts.

For those who are willing to pay, “Premium A+” offers additional features such as larger images, videos, and interactive hotspots for product features. You also get clickable image or video carousels and Q&A modules.

With the third type, Brand Story, you can share your brand's narrative, values, and mission across all your product listings. This section under “From the brand” helps drive traffic to your brand by providing links to your Amazon Brand Store and other products in your catalog.

Getting Started and Making the Most of It

Getting going is simple enough – the A+ portal can be accessed on Vendor Central under the Merchandising Tab, from where you can select your five modules (to begin with) and add content to be submitted.

Some tips to get you started:

  • Make sure the product you’re selling is the main focus of an image.
  • Don’t skimp on the resolution – if the display looks cheap, shoppers will think the product is of inferior quality.
  • Cross-sell your other products. Comparison charts to other products under your brand are great for this.
  • Highlight the product's USP. You’ve already gone through all this effort to make it stand out, make sure you convey why they should buy your product and not the competition’s.
  • If you are active in international markets, you’ll want to make sure that your content is translated into local languages – few things make shoppers run to the competition quicker than not being able to understand what you’re saying.

Lastly, having killer A+ material won’t amount to much if no one can see it. In order to make sales, you need to drive traffic to your page with ads.

Bear in mind that putting up a good A+ display is not something every brand can do in-house. It is an investment of both time and money and putting out a good product will take help from content experts – photographers, graphic designers, videographers, etc. –  to make sure you don’t have to keep resubmitting.

This is especially true if you want to fork out money for Premium A+, which can set you back anywhere between $250,000 and $500,000 on top of design costs – you want to make sure you get a return on that investment.
