Today, we take a first look at Brand Tailored Promotions, now available on Amazon.com, which let you create tailored discounts and offers for your past and prospective Amazon customers. We can expect expansion of this programme to Europe in the coming months.
Brand Tailored Promotion allows brand owners and selling partners to create exclusive discounts for customers who follow or buy from the brand. This helps you build loyal relationships with Amazon customers and increase conversions while maintaining or reducing overall promotional costs.
Brand Tailored Promotions are only available to registered brands owners on Seller Central.
You can tailor promotions to any of the below audiences. For example, if you select Repeat customers, the promotion will be available exclusively to repeat customers of your brand who have made more than one purchase in the last 12 months from the promotion creation date. Eligible brand can create tailored promotions for audiences with size of 100 or more.
