How to Prepare Your Business for Black Friday & Cyber Monday on Amazon in 2022?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are usually the most important shopping events of the year. However due to the pandemic and the consequences of cargo shortage this year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are going to start early. Amazon launched Black Friday-Worthy Deals earlier last week to give customers the opportunity to shop and give them access to incredible savings to prepare the holiday season. Black Friday starts normally on November 26, but it is expected the Amazon Black Friday starts unofficially in the beginning of November with new deals dropping through the month.

As a seller, it is important to keep an eye out for Amazon Black Friday deals over the course of November and stay alert on your competitors. BQool gives you some tips to get your business ready for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday and get a successful sales result in Q4 2021.

# Check your inventories

First of all, you have to check your stocks. Making successful sales during the holiday season requires you to be well prepared and have enough stock to be able to sell a huge quantity of your items during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

BQool recommends you check your bestselling product as well so that you can properly estimate your inventory and have enough stock to take on Q4.

If you are a FBA seller, another point is to be very careful about your old inventory, it would be a pity to pay extra fees for your old inventory while you are 100 percent sure you will not sell it.

Make sure you follow the Amazon Style Guides according to your product category, if you do not respect this guideline, Amazon will delete your product.

Last tip concerning the keywords research, we suggest you spy on your competitor’s listings to see which kind of relevant and popular key words pop out. Finally, you can use the keyword “Black Friday Deals”, or any keywords related to these two major sales events, to increase your product visibility on the Amazon platform.

# Create an original Customer Service Process

Normally having an irreproachable customer service is important on Amazon. You cannot ease up your customer service during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It goes without saying you must be perfect with your customers.

First thing we can recommend you to do is to include some products insert inside your packaging to thank your customers for their purchase. This kind gesture can increase your customers appreciation about your online business, and they might recommend your shop to their entourage.

Another tip with product insert is to provide some tips to your customers, of course it depends on which kind of products you sell, but if your items are related to food, you can share some recipe or give advice about using it. If you sell some books, you can recommend other books related to the same category…etc.
