What is Perfect Launch?
Speed matters in business. For Amazon selling partners, the first 90 days are particularly important to establish marketing, delivery, pricing, and other business processes to quickly generate sales after launch. Amazon data scientists refer to the use of five selling programmes—Brand Registry, A+ Content, Fulfilment by Amazon, Automated Pricing and Advertising—within those first 90 days as Perfect Launch. Selling partners who take these five steps within this critical time frame can generate sales faster, as the examples of many of the most successful selling partners have already shown.

A+ CONTENT
Elevate your product page content
Use A+ Content to showcase your brand and product features on Amazon product detail pages. Dive into features with technical specs, comparative product information and additional rich content including images, videos, or product settings. Then run A/B testing to optimise your conversion using our Manage Experiments tool. Over the last year, thousands of sellers have used both to help maximise product listings.
Adding A+ content to detail pages can help increase sales by an average of 5.6%.2

FULFILMENT BY AMAZON
Give customers the Prime experience with your eligible offers
With Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA), you store your products in our fulfilment centres, and we pick, pack and deliver your orders and provide 24/7 customer support in the local languages of Amazon’s European stores. Eligible FBA offers carry the Prime logo as Amazon promises fast delivery and trustworthy customer service.
Sellers in Germany were able to record an average increase in sales of 37%* when switching to FBA because customers highly appreciate the fast delivery times. 3
FBA New Selection offers free storage, free removals, and free return processing for a limited time for eligible, new-to-FBA ASINs.
3 This percentage is based on an analysis of data per channel from Q4/2019 to Q4/2020 (excluding Q2/2020 due to the impact of COVID-19). This serves only as a general guide. It does not reflect real-time updated data and is not specific to an ASIN or product category. Actual results may vary depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to seasonality, selling price and existing delivery solution. Amazon does not guarantee any particular outcome for your business by using FBA.
