How to Use Amazon Virtual Bundles to Increase Sales and Profit Margins
Amazon virtual bundles let you combine multiple products into one listing without managing extra inventory. They help increase average order value, improve visibility in search, and boost profit margins—but require careful product selection and marketing to maximize results.
The Struggle with Thin Margins
Amazon sellers face one of the toughest challenges in eCommerce: razor-thin margins. Competition is fierce, ad costs keep rising, and shoppers are trained to hunt for deals. If you’re only selling single products, you may be leaving money on the table.
That’s where Amazon virtual bundles come in. Bundling complementary products not only helps you stand out in crowded categories, but it can also increase your average order value, improve conversion rates, and protect your margins.
Let’s dive into how virtual bundles work, the pros and cons, and how you can build a winning bundle strategy for your Amazon business.
What Are Amazon Virtual Bundles?
Amazon’s virtual bundling feature allows sellers to combine two or more FBA products into a single bundle listing—without having to physically package them together.
- Inventory is pulled directly from your existing SKUs.
- Amazon fulfills each item in the bundle from its warehouse.
- Shoppers see the bundle as one listing with one price.
This makes bundling a low-risk, high-reward strategy for sellers looking to maximize margins
Why Bundles Work on Amazon
1. Higher Average Order Value (AOV)
By encouraging shoppers to buy multiple products at once, you increase total order size.
2. More Visibility in Search
Bundles can rank for additional keywords—especially when products complement each other.
3. Reduced Competition
Competitors may offer similar products individually, but your bundle creates a unique offer that’s harder to compare directly on price.
Pros and Cons of Amazon Virtual Bundles
 Pros |
 Cons |
|---|---|
| No need for extra packaging or inventory | Limited to brand-registered sellers |
| Increased average order value | Cannot include multi-packs (must be distinct products) |
| Opportunity to dominate niche keywords | Requires thoughtful pricing strategy |
| Cross-sell and upsell existing catalog | Not all product pairings make sense to customers |
| Build a moat against direct price competition |
How to Build a Profitable Bundle Strategy
Step 1: Choose Complementary Products
Look for items that shoppers naturally use together. Example: a yoga mat + yoga blocks, or a coffee grinder + coffee machine.
Step 2: Research Keywords
Identify bundle-related search terms (e.g., “yoga starter kit,” “coffee gift set”) and incorporate them into your listing.
Step 3: Price for Value, Not Just Discount
Bundles should feel like a deal, but don’t undercut yourself. The goal is higher margins, not just higher sales volume.
Step 4: Optimize Your Bundle Listing
- Use lifestyle images showing products together
- Highlight bundle benefits in bullets
- Test different titles (e.g., “Starter Kit,” “Gift Set”)
Step 5: Promote with Amazon Advertising
Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands ads can drive targeted traffic to your bundle listings.
Pro Tip:
Want to track how your bundles perform? In Seller Labs Genius, you can create custom product groups (via the Bulk Update Product Information tool).
This lets you group SKUs that make up a bundle, then monitor performance, margins, and trends across them—without extra manual tracking.

Geographic Sales Restrictions?
Hi, everyone. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I recently added a couple more variations on a listing that we’ve had for years. (The new variations are still MF but the rest of the items are FBA.) Shortly thereafter, I received a notification Listings Subject to Geographic Sales Restriction. After a few back and forths with SC, now they are saying it is an age restriction thing. Even tho the notification doesn’t say that anywhere. Anyone know what they really want here?

10 Advanced Ads Only Top Amazon Sellers Use
Discover the advanced ads types top 1% Amazon sellers use to scale profitably.
The Amazon Ads landscape is quite competitive. That’s why top-performing brands turn to advanced PPC tactics to scale with precision, drive visibility and boost profitability.
So, what works beyond Sponsored Products? Let’s break down the top 10 advanced amazon ads for elite PPC sellers.
Amazon DSP Retargeting
If your Sponsored Ads already deliver a good ROAS, then it’s time to look into Amazon Demand-Side Platform (DSP).
DSP uses Amazon’s audience data, to let you run programmatic ads on and off the marketplace. It’s a powerful tool to bolster awareness and audience re-engagement.
With DSP, you can retarget recurring viewers or potential buyers that abandoned the cart with dynamic display or video ads. You can also use DSP to broaden your
Sponsored Display Retargeting
Chances are you’re already using a Sponsored Display. No we gotta set up a retargeting campaign.
Unlike Sponsored Products, Sponsored Display lets you target leads based on their shopping behavior. You can use this data track and target buyers―or competitors―who’ve interacted with your product, on and off Amazon.
Once you have a clear view of who’s viewing your ads, you can use views remarketing” to re‑engage those browsers that didn’t purchase. Another great tool is “purchase remarketing,” if you’re looking to upsell complementary products.
Once you’re ready to expand your reach, use “Audience Expansion” to reach audiences similar to your target customers.
Sponsored Brands Videos
There’s no denying that storytelling is a powerful tool for any Amazon ads advanced partner. Brands use storytelling to highlight pain‑points and product solutions to drive customer conversions.
Sponsored Brand videos are ideal to share quick but effective product stories with shoppers. They’re short, autoplay content, displayed mid-page in Amazon search results.
These short 15-30 second videos show up mid-page in Amazon search. The best examples open up with a problem and showcase the product in the first 3 seconds. Of course, you should wrap up with a call-to-action to boost your CTR.
OTT Ads (via DSP)
Amazon OTT (over-the-top) are full‑screen, non‑skippable video ads. You’ve surely seen these advanced ads play during streaming on Prime Video and Freevee.
OTT ads are best for established brands with a $10k+ ad budget. However, they’re powered by Amazon’s first-party audience targeting. So, OTT videos are great advanced ads to build upper‑funnel awareness.
Dynamic Bidding Strategies
Do you bid on ads the smart way or the hard way? Your ad bidding strategy should be based on placement data. For example, you should set “Down Only” for low-converting campaigns; and “Up & Down” for bestselling products to capture more top-of-search placements.
Automated PPC Software
Amazon-native tools are a great starting point to boost your PPC strategy, However, those solutions can’t match third-party PPC software for automation, keyword search, and budget optimization.
Tools like AIHello, Sellerrise or Helium 10 can offer real-time bid adjustments; keyword mining from auto to manual campaigns; and alerts for poor-performing keywords. In short, you’ll have all that you need to run successful PPC campaigns in one place.
A/B Testing
Amazon has a feature called “Manage Your Experiments.” Here, sellers can run A/B testing on A+ content, titles, and images to improve conversion rates.
Testing your ads and product listings can help you design campaigns, and to make the most of your ad spend by boosting page conversions
We recommend that you run A/B tests every 4–6 weeks to account for buying cycles. You’ll improve your ACoS in no time.
Category & Product Targeting
Advanced ads go beyond keywords and into ASIN and category targeting. This is an excellent strategy to go after niche audiences and drive sales on underperforming products. And to make an even more effective campaign, you can layer this with negative keywords.
Advanced Negative Keyword Strategy
Negative keywords are often overlooked—but they’re vital for reducing wasted spend. They can help you refine your ASIN targeting with low-converting terms as exact matches to your front-end keywords.
As with regular keywords, pick search terms with high spend and poor ACoS to optimize your ad spend.
Full-Funnel Strategy with Layered Ads
The best advanced ads strategy is to run a combination of the previous tips. In doing so, you’ll design a layered, full-funnel strategy. For instance:
- Run DSP campaigns with OTT ads so you can reach customers on Prime Video.
- Set your Sponsored Brand videos alongside category targeting to drive niche audiences to your listings
- Run display retargeting and A/B optimized listings to boost your Amazon Search visibility.
The goal, of course, is to increase your ROAS and establish long-term visibility.
Final Thoughts
You already got the basic Amazon Ad campaigns running. Now, step it up with these advanced ads and tips to move the needle in your favor.
Most sellers stop at Sponsored Products and hope for results. But the top 1% brands deploy layered, data-driven, full-funnel strategies that leverage every Amazon ad type to maximum effect.

Amazon FBA Restock Limits 2025: Avoid Q4 Stockouts
The Q4 Reality Check Every Amazon Seller Needs
October is almost here, and for Amazon sellers, that means Q4—the busiest, most competitive shopping season of the year—is about to hit hard. In 2025, with restock limits reintroduced, sending in unlimited inventory is no longer an option. Sellers who mismanage restock limits risk losing up to 25% of potential sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday or paying unnecessary storage fees for slow-moving stock.
The truth? Q4 success isn’t about luck—it’s about preparation. With the right data, strategy, and tools, you can stay ahead of the competition, avoid stockouts, and maximize profitability during the most critical weeks of the year.
By the end of this guide, you’ll understand:
- How to assess your FBA restock limits and plan inventory effectively.
- How to forecast Q4 demand to avoid costly stockouts.
- How to prioritize high-demand products and allocate limited restock slots.
- How to align advertising campaigns with peak shopping dates for maximum ROI.
- Tools and strategies to track inventory, restock limits, and ads in one place for stress-free management.
Step 1: Check Your Restock Limits Early
Why it matters:
Amazon sets FBA restock limits based on your account history, category performance, and inventory health. If you don’t know your limits, you risk sending too little and missing sales—or sending too much and incurring storage fees.
How to do it:
- Log into Seller Central → Inventory → FBA Inventory → check the Restock Limits column for each SKU. Note weekly and monthly limits for standard and oversize products.
- Track historical Q4 sales from 2024 as a baseline for expected demand.
- Use Seller Labs to track inventory performance and profitability in one place—helping you manage restock planning more efficiently.
Example:
If your bestselling toy historically sold 1,500 units in Q4 2024 but your current limit is 1,000 units, you’ll need to plan multiple shipments or prioritize your highest-margin items.
Pro tip: Track changes weekly. Strong Q4 sales history can increase your limits by 10–15%, while low storage space may reduce them. Staying on top of these fluctuations ensures you never miss an opportunity.
Step 2: Forecast Q4 Demand Accurately
Why it matters:
Running out of stock during peak shopping days can cost thousands in lost revenue. Conversely, overstocking ties up capital and increases storage costs. Q4 demand can fluctuate 20–40% above average weekly sales, so accurate forecasting is critical.
How to do it:
- Analyze sales from the same period last year.
- Adjust for category trends, new competitors, and seasonal demand.
- Break down historical daily sales data to predict peak week requirements, and add a 20–30% buffer for growth.
Example:
If a skincare kit sold 500 units during Black Friday week 2024, plan for 600–650 units in 2025 to account for increased traffic.
Step 3: Prioritize High-Demand Products
Why it matters:
Restock limits mean not all products can be restocked fully. Allocating inventory to high-performing SKUs ensures your best-sellers are available when shoppers are ready to buy.
How to do it:
- Identify the top 20% of products driving 80% of revenue.
- Ensure these products are fully stocked before pre-Black Friday campaigns (late October–November 27, 2025).
- Keep secondary products in smaller quantities for extended promotions after Black Friday.
Example:
A toy seller might prioritize popular holiday sets in early November while sending smaller shipments of lower-demand items to avoid wasted restock capacity.
Step 4: Align Your Advertising with Q4 Key Dates
Why it matters:
Even with perfect inventory planning, poorly timed campaigns can leave your products invisible during peak shopping days. Ads launched too late or for low-stock items risk wasted spend and lost visibility.
How to do it:
- Identify Key Shopping Days for 2025:
| Date Range | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Late October – November 27 | Pre-Black Friday Deals | Early deals and traffic build-up; great time to test ads |
| November 28, 2025 | Black Friday | Highest single-day traffic; prioritize best-sellers |
| November 29–30, 2025 | Extended Black Friday Weekend | Continued high volume, spillover from Friday |
| December 1, 2025 | Cyber Monday | Second major peak; optimize ads and bundles |
- Plan Your Campaigns:
- Launch high-demand product campaigns 2–3 weeks before Black Friday to give Amazon’s algorithm time to optimize.
- Increase budgets gradually during the peak shopping window to avoid overspending early.
- Use Sponsored Product Ads for top sellers and Sponsored Brand Ads for collections or bundles.
- Match Campaigns to Inventory:
- Track stock levels carefully—overselling can hurt ad performance and rankings.
- Use Seller Labs to monitor performance alongside profitability, making it easier to adjust spend if inventory runs low.
Example:
A holiday gift seller launches campaigns on November 10, ramps up bids leading into Black Friday, and pauses campaigns for items near their restock limit—maximizing visibility without risking stockouts.
Pro Tip: Start with automated campaigns to gather data, then refine with manual campaigns using broad, phrase, and exact match types (learn more here).
Bonus Tips for a Stress-Free Q4
- Start with smaller ad budgets early—let data guide your bidding.
- Use Seller Labs for insights into profitability, restock planning, and ad performance in one place.
- Stay flexible: adjust campaigns and inventory allocations as Q4 unfolds.
- Focus on profitability, not just sales: running out of stock or overspending on ads can harm ROI even during peak days.
Final Thoughts: Take Control of Your Q4 Success
Q4 2025 is not the time to wing it. By checking your restock limits early, forecasting demand, prioritizing top sellers, and aligning advertising campaigns with key shopping dates, you can avoid costly stockouts and maximize revenue.
Seller Labs tools make it easier to connect the dots between inventory planning, restock decisions, and advertising performance—so you can focus on strategy instead of scrambling at the last minute. With preparation, data, and the right tools, your store can crush Black Friday and Cyber Monday and turn Q4 into your most profitable season yet.

Why is Amazon aggressively onboarding sellers lately?
Lately I keep getting daily calls from Amazon to become a seller, and I’ve also seen a bunch of TV ads saying “Sell on Amazon.”
Is Amazon doing this to compete with Meesho (since Meesho already has more sellers and is profitable)? Or is this some new strategy? What’s going on here?

Risk of linked seller account
Hey all I wanted to sell on Amazon and attempted the seller registration. However the identity verification is not passed for some reason. It was a painful process appealing this failed verification so I left that account unfinished. my wife gave it a try to register under her name and her account got approved almost immediately.
So we are about to start selling with my wife’s account but I just learned that Amazon has something that detects linked account, which is a huge concern to me because I know that to resolve any account suspension due to linked account, all accounts need to be good standing status, well, it would be hard to bring my old account back in good standing.
So my old unfinished account has the same contact address as my wife’s, also they’ve been logged in on the same device a couple of times, but we are keeping the phone number and bank info differently. Has anyone experienced similar situation? And how likely this is going to trigger a linked account problem?
