Are your Amazon sales falling short of your expectations?
Can you audit the possible reasons?
Many Amazon ad accounts are managed with a basic checklist:
Set up campaigns, optimize for ACoS, meet budget, add negative keywords. But in the midst of these tasks, a critical element often gets overlooked:
YOUR BUSINESS!

If ACoS is climbing and market share is slipping away, if profits are shrinking while growth remains stagnant, and if pouring more money into ads yields diminishing returns, then you know there's a missing piece, but you can't quite identify it.
Does this resonate with you?

To excel in your ad strategy, you need a holistic approach. Focusing solely on ACoS blinds you to the true objective—boosting sales.
What you need is balance.
That's why Upstream prioritizes the big picture and work backward.

Here we talk about what are your account goals?
What objectives do you have for each product line?

Once these questions are answered, your Amazon ad strategy practically designs itself.

If you need assistance in identifying obstacles and the steps to overcome them, Upstream is here to help.

Let's reframe your Amazon selling approach and unlock the true potential of your business.

Decrease in sales? 📉 Confused with your ppc strategy?
Here's a case based scenario for what you should be doing with your ad campaigns.

When faced with a drop in product rank leading to a decrease in sales, there are two possible strategies you can consider based on your goals:

Option 1: Get more aggressive on exact match ranking campaigns and implement other conversion rate increasing tactics such as coupons or pricing.

This option focuses on maintaining your product's ranking on search pages and capturing market share. By increasing the aggressiveness of your exact match ranking campaigns, you can strive to regain visibility and attract more customers. Additionally, layering other tactics like coupons or pricing promotions can help drive conversions. However, it's important to note that this approach may impact profit margins.

Option 2: Maintain bids and adjust placements and/or budgets, while expanding other low-cost sales growth strategies.

If your primary objective is to maximize profitability and generate cash flow from the business, this option may be more suitable. By maintaining bids and making adjustments to placements and budgets, you can optimize your advertising spend. Simultaneously, you can explore and expand low-cost sales growth strategies to drive sales without solely relying on aggressive bidding. However, it's worth noting that this approach may not guarantee a quick regain of product ranking.

Ultimately, the choice between these options depends on your specific goals and priorities. Consider what you aim to achieve with your product, whether it's maintaining market share, maximizing profitability, or pursuing an exit strategy. Let your objectives guide your decision-making process, and choose the path that aligns best with your desired outcomes.

دنیا کے تیسرے اور ایشیا کے دوسرے امیر ترین شخص
مکیش امبانی کا مشہور انٹرویو ۔

اس انٹرویو میں انہوں نے دلچسپ باتیں کہی تھیں جن میں سے کچھ اہم باتیں ذیل میں بیان کی جاتی ہیں۔

1: دنیا میں نوکری کرنے والا کوئی بھی خوشحال نہیں ہو سکتا۔

2: انسان کی معاشی زندگی اس وقت شروع ہوتی ہے جب وہ اپنا کام شروع کرتا ہے۔

3: کامیابی اور ترقی کا تعلیم سے کوئی تعلق نہیں۔

4: اگر تعلیم کے ذریعے پیسہ کمایا جا سکتا تو آج دنیا کا ہر پروفیسر ارب پتی ہوتا۔

5: اس وقت دنیا میں نو سو پچاس ارب پتی ہیں۔ ان میں کوئی پروفیسر یا ماہر تعلیم شامل نہیں ہے۔

6: دنیا میں ہمیشہ مڈل کلاس لوگوں نے ترقی کی ہے، یہ لوگ وقت کی قدر اور قیمت سمجھتے ہیں، یہ لوگ ڈگریاں حاصل کرنے کے بجائے طالب علمی کے دور میں ہی کاروبار شروع کر دیتے ہیں۔

7: کامیابی انہیں کالج یا یونیورسٹی کے بجائے فیکٹری یا مارکیٹ سے ملتی ہے۔

8: میں اپنی زندگی میں کبھی کالج یا یونیورسٹی نہیں گیا۔

9: اس وقت میری کمپنی میں 30,000 اعلیٰ تعلیم یافتہ مرد و خواتین کام کرتے ہیں، یہ پڑھے لکھے لوگ وزن، عقل اور دماغ کے لحاظ سے مجھ سے بہت بہتر ہیں، لیکن ان میں نوکری چھوڑنے کی ہمت نہیں ہوتی۔وہ اپنے آپ پر انحصار نہیں کرتے ہیں۔ کیونکہ انہیں خود پر اعتماد نہیں

10: اگر کوئی شخص میرے لیے کام کرسکتا ہے تو وہ اپنے لیے بھی کرسکتا ہے۔ اسے صرف تھوڑی سی حوصلہ افزائی کی ضرورت ہے۔

11: دنیا میں ہر چیز کا متبادل ہے سوائے محنت کے۔

12: بے سہارا لوگوں کے لیے دنیا میں کوئی جائے پناہ نہیں، لیکن کام کرنے والوں کے لیے پوری دنیا کھلی ہے۔.
