As you know, the Amazon marketplace is hugely competitive, so anything that gives you an advantage over the competition has to be worth a shot. While every seller has access to the regular Amazon detail pages, only brands who sign up for Amazon’s Brand Registry get to create A+ Detail Pages.
So, what exactly is an Amazon A+ Detail Page?
Well, it’s essentially an enhanced detail or product page with fewer restrictions on formatting, style, and content types than standard pages. If you use an A+ page, you can include images right in the description, comparison tables, line breaks, formatted text, and more. It lets you show the consumer more and helps you to stand out from the crowd.
What Are the Benefits of an Amazon A+ Page?
Well, with over 2 million sellers on Amazon and more appearing every day, competition is fierce, so you need to give consumers a reason to buy from you. A single paragraph and a few bullets don’t give you much room to be creative or to stand out amongst all of your competitors. With an A+ page, you can really showcase your product and your brand, giving you a significantly higher opportunity to catch a customer’s attention and convert them into buyers. According to Amazon, sellers utilizing A+ pages experience an increase in sales of up to 10%.
A+ Detail Page content can also be made to be easy to skim, so readers can get a sense of all the key product details at a glance. You create this skimmable, user-friendly look by creating bullet lists and breaking up the text into small, manageable chunks interspersed with colorful images. You can also make use of videos and HD photography to show your product at its very best.
How to Create Great Amazon A+ Detail Pages
Once you’re approved on the Brand Registry, you have two options. You can select the self-service module which gives you full creative control, or you can go with the Amazon Builds module. If you go with Amazon Builds, it’ll cost you significantly more and, although Amazon chooses the layout and placements, you’re still responsible for providing them with all imagery and content.
1. Combine Text, Color, and Images
Create rich, compelling content that really shows off your product, but don’t confront your readers with huge blocks of text. Instead, make use of the A+ modules and break your copy up into smaller chunks interspersed with color, images, and white space. Add videos, HD photos, and informative text snippets.
2. Highlight Key Features and Benefits
Make sure your product copy expresses all the key features and their associated benefits. Combining benefits with features delivers crucial info about the product and elicits an emotional response from the consumer, encouraging them to buy because they can see how the product fulfills a need or solves a problem for them. Where possible, back up your copy with photos or videos of the features and benefits you’re discussing. Seeing a product used in a real-world scenario can clearly illustrate a point for a buyer and can create a stronger level of engagement that’s more likely to lead to a sale.
3. Use Different Elements
Using banners and headers break up content and let customers quickly find the section they’re most interested in. Banners can also help to add a pop of color and provide an extra opportunity to add brand style, font, or logo. Create more interest by including charts and tables and to provide detailed information for your customers.
