I. Overall Pace Control

   We can divide the entire Prime Day cycle into three key stages: the warm-up period (current to October 6th), the outbreak period (October 7th to 8th), and the review and continuation period (October 9th and beyond). The focus of work in each stage is different and needs to be progressive.

II. Core Preparation Work Within the Site (Must be Completed Before October 7th)

Inventory and Logistics Assurance

   First of all, make sure that all inventory has been delivered to the FBA warehouse before the latest storage date specified by Amazon. This is the cornerstone of participating in major promotions. Be sure to prepare sufficient safety stock for hot-selling products based on historical sales data and growth trends. It is recommended that the stock quantity be about 1.5 times the average daily sales volume of the past Prime Day to cope with the surge in orders. At the same time, check the storage capacity and deal with the remaining inventory in a timely manner.

Promotion Reporting and Price Management

   If the official flash sale channel has been closed, immediately set up Prime exclusive discounts and coupons. Note that the discount intensity is key. Usually, coupons with a discount of more than 15% will show a prominent label, and higher discounts (such as more than 40%) are more likely to get platform traffic recommendations. We must avoid price traps: ensure that the promotional price on Member Day is not higher than the lowest price in the past 30 days, and any promotional prices carried out before the promotion cannot be lower than the declared Member Day price, otherwise the activity may be cancelled. Be particularly careful of "price breakdown" caused by multiple promotions superimposed, resulting in unexpected losses.

Listing Optimization and Advertising Strategy
   Thoroughly check and optimize the product detail page, including keywords in the title, high-quality pictures and videos (it is recommended to use white background pictures for the main picture), to ensure good display effect on mobile terminals. In terms of advertising, operate in stages: during the warm-up period, the goal is to expand exposure and accumulate purchases. You can increase the advertising budget to 80% to 150% of the daily budget, adopt medium bidding for core keywords, and start launching display ads to compete with competitors, accumulating water for the outbreak period. During the outbreak period, the goal is to maximize conversion. For core word ads with good conversion, there is no upper limit on the budget, adopt high bidding to seize the top position in search results, and significantly increase the remarketing advertising budget for "users who have viewed this product or competitors".

III. Off-site Promotion Planning

Off-site promotion is the key lever to release traffic and sales, which needs to closely cooperate with the pace within the site.

Warm-up Period: Building Momentum and Planting Grass

   The core of this stage is to increase brand and product awareness. You can post "Prime exclusive spoilers" on social media such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, initiate unboxing or usage challenges with cooperative influencers, and plant grass for products in advance. You can also post forecast information on Deal websites such as VIPON to attract users to follow and collect in advance. By publishing valuable content such as product reviews, usage tutorials or solutions, attract the interest of the target audience.

Outbreak Period: Concentrated Detonation

   The goal is to cooperate with on-site activities and attract accurate traffic in the widest range. Conduct concentrated placement on mainstream Deal websites such as Slickdeals and Dealnews. Users on these platforms have strong purchase intentions and can bring a large number of orders, which helps to impact and maintain on-site rankings. At the same time, release the final promotional information and exclusive discount codes synchronously with the influencers cooperated during the warm-up period, forming a multi-channel exposure force. Don't forget to activate old customers and send exclusive offers to users on the brand's email list to encourage them to repurchase.

Review and Continuation Period: Maintaining Popularity and Remarking
   The 7 to 10 days after the end of the promotion is the golden period for maintaining rankings and precipitating users. When the natural traffic on the site begins to decline, you can launch a new round of off-site Deal placement or KOL evaluation, which can prove to the Amazon platform that your product has continuous vitality, thereby effectively slowing down the decline in natural rankings. At the same time, import new customers brought by off-site drainage during this promotion into your brand membership system or community, laying the foundation for future repurchase marketing. Finally, carefully analyze the input-output ratio of this off-site promotion to accumulate experience for future marketing activities.

IV. Key Risk Reminder

   Be sure to be alert to inventory risks. Failure to enter the warehouse in time will result in no goods to sell. Guard against price breakdown caused by promotional discounts, and check all promotional rules in advance. Allocate sufficient budget for promotion advertising to avoid excessive consumption due to fierce competition. Pay special attention that on sites such as Europe, products that have participated in Prime Day cannot run other promotions within a period of time after the event (usually 7 days, some sites are 30 days), otherwise it may affect the qualification of future flash sale reporting.
