If you sell on Amazon, you probably feel like you’re drowning in endless tasks. You do a lot of “busy work” but don’t always see your profits jump. That’s exactly why Michael brought Mike Danford from Adverio back to the show. They break down the “Revenue Impact Formula.” It’s a smart system to stop guessing and know exactly which product to optimize first. Mike explains when to use a quick “spray and pray” approach for basic fixes across your whole catalog, and when to get “surgical” with your top products. They got rid of a “frequently returned” badge just by updating a sizing chart. It turns out, shoppers’ ideas of a “medium” have completely changed over the years!
The guys also dive into Amazon’s AI, Rufus. It doesn’t just look at your listing copy. It actually tracks hidden data like your inventory history and price changes.
We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
