Amazon VS DTC šŸ„Š... How you win šŸ†

There is a big problem when sending TikTok traffic to your Amazon brand

Customers do not give a sh*t about your brand.

They donā€™t care that you are a family run businessā€¦ā€¦ But are you? Does your family even know what you do (mine have no ideaā€¦. most think I am a bumā€¦ or maybe thatā€™s my wardrobe šŸ˜ž)?

They donā€™t care about the stress the brand has been throughā€¦.. I am pointing at you Amazon Support šŸ¤¬ 

They donā€™t trust your websiteā€¦. Why would they? Itā€™s not as polished as Amazon and they definitely donā€™t want to store their credit card info on itā€¦

They DEFINITELY donā€™t trust your brandā€¦. But they trust Amazon with everything.

Customers only care for 2 things:

Status - ā€œHow will this make me better than everyone elseā€

  • Will this product make me look better than everyone else?

  • Will this product save me money?

  • Will people admire me if I share my thoughts on this product?

Convenience - ā€œI am lazyā€¦..How much effort will this take?ā€

  • ā€œI hate waitingā€¦. I want it now!ā€ Amazon serves up convenience in bucketloads solving this

  • ā€œCredit card details, I donā€™t rememberā€¦.ā€ Amazon does

This puts it into perspective:

Amazon Storefront is kinda like your website homepage

Stop trying to beat Amazon, ā€˜cos spoiler alertā€¦. YOUā€¦WILL...LOSE šŸ˜ž

Embrace itā€¦.. use Amazon to your advantageā€¦

You seeā€¦

Look at the new buying behaviour of shoppers.

The TikTok generation are smart:

  • They will donā€™t like adsā€¦.. but will search for it on Amazon as default (hence improving brand analytics)

  • TikTok users like a seamless shopping experienceā€¦. most TikTok purchases are ā€˜spur of the momentā€™, so if there is friction, they wonā€™t buy (ALWAYS use deep links)

BUTā€¦..

You are smarter than them šŸ‘Š:

ā€˜Cos you know there is a ā€œFollowā€ button on your storefront

  • You can send marketing promotions and messages to your followersā€¦. they love this as itā€™s private deals only they receive (making them feel better than everyone else).

I have a client that has 20,000 Followers on their Storefrontā€¦.. they sent an Amazon email to them about a promotionā€¦. added an addition $15,000 in sales that day šŸš€ 

You only need one thing: An Optimised Amazon Storefront

So I want you to meet, Daniela from Mindfulgoods.

She creates Amazon storefronts that tell you a storyā€¦. when you see a storefront that blows you out the waterā€¦.. it was probably Daniela šŸ˜‰

When I ā€˜floodā€™ listings and storefronts with TikTok trafficā€¦ I need the best possible listings and storefront

(Do you know its cheaper to recreate all your listings and storefront than hundreds of hours and money spent on your website).

This is why I recommend Daniela to everyone (I donā€™t recommend anyone else as no one comes close).

She will even audit your storefront and tell you what you are missing out on.

Chat to herā€¦.. thank me later šŸ‘Š

Summary

TikTok traffic works for any Amazon brandā€¦.

But if the user is interested in the product after seeing it on TikTok and but get turned off after seeing your listing/storefrontā€¦.. you just lost a customer.

TikTok is THE platform for product discoveryā€¦.. donā€™t you want to give them the best possible experience?
