Launched in 2017, the Amazon storefront is an advertising feature that allows sellers to showcase their products and brand in an exclusive location, free from competitors. 

With Amazon stores, you get your own unique and trackable URL. This self-service solution enables you to create several Amazon brand pages in your store thanks to its predesigned templates. You can add your own images, videos, and product descriptions. 

With this feature, you can give your customers a unique shopping experience, increase conversion rates and grow revenue with Amazon. 

Features of an Amazon storefront

  • Unique templates: On the Amazon storefront, you can create your own store choosing from a range of templates with unique layouts and customizable features. 
  • Multiple pages: You can create multiple pages (maximum of 3 pages) to showcase your products and brand and create a unique shopping experience for your customers. 
  • Shoppable images: This is a new feature that helps sellers showcase their products and increase conversion rates. With this feature, customers can tap on the photo to find out basic information on the product including the price, name, and rating. 
  • Advertising: The Amazon storefront is a feature of the Amazon Advertising program which means you can advertise your products through your store both on and off Amazon. You get access to the three main advertising options: Sponsored Product Ads, Sponsored Brand Ads, and Sponsored Display Ads.
  • Brand analytics: With the Amazon storefront, you also get access to Amazon's brand analytics feature to gain insights into the performance of your store. With Brand Analytics, you can analyze your target market and competitors and gain valuable insights to help you improve on your business.

Easy to use 

Setting up an Amazon store is quite easy. It has pre-created templates which means you don't need coding or programming experience to create your store. Using the drag-and-drop tiles, you can easily add images, texts, and videos to promote your brand. 

No competitor ads or links

Custom URL

With the Amazon storefront, you get your own custom URL which you can share on other platforms like social media. With this URL, customers can browse through your product portfolio instead of individually searching for them.

Improve brand image 

You can improve your brand image using features on the Amazon storefront. You have the liberty to creatively market your brand using images, infographics, and videos. 

Drive traffic to your store 

With Amazon stores, you can funnel customers away from the competition. Through Sponsored Ads, you can drive customers straight to your store. You can also drive traffic from external sources like social media and emails.
