III. Top 3 Tips to Prepare for Prime Day 2022

Tip #1: Monitor the Deals Dashboard and ensure your Deals are not suppressed. In the run up before your deal is due to go live, it may go into a suppressed status due to stock, SKU, pricing, or compliance issues. Log into Seller Central, head to “Advertising,” and edit the sections highlighted in red for your suppressed deals to make them live again.

Tip #2: Do not change your price.There is no need to change your price to the deal price, as we will automatically update based on the price you have submitted in Seller Central. If you change your current offer price, then the deal is at risk of becoming suppressed as it may no longer meet the discount criteria required.

Tip #3: Perform quality checks on your Deals and the relevant SKUs. Check the quality of your deals so that customers have a great experience discovering and shopping for your products. The image of your deal should be on a white background. Bullet points on the detail page should accurately reflect the product on sale. If you’re brand registered, check your A+ content, as this is a great way to share additional information about the brand or products
