#522 - 15 Prime Day & AI Strategies to Maximize Amazon Sales – Part 2

Part 2 of this Prime Day series uncovers the AI, Rufus, retargeting, inventory, and deal strategies Amazon sellers may be overlooking before the big event. In part 2 of this two-part Prime Day strategy series, Shivali Patel and Carrie Miller bring together another lineup of Amazon, advertising, AI, logistics, and e-commerce experts to share what sellers should be doing before, during, and after major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day. This episode goes beyond basic discounting and looks at the bigger picture: retargeting high-intent shoppers, optimizing listings for both A9 and Rufus, improving product images, planning inventory, and using external traffic to create more sales opportunities.   The conversation starts with PPC and listing optimization strategies with Vincenzo Toscano, including how to build Sponsored Display campaigns around shoppers who viewed your products but did not buy, analyze competitor reviews with Helium 10, and track share of voice to spot openings when competitors lose visibility. Andrew Bell also walks through Helium 10’s AI Listing Optimizer, showing how sellers can use product images, buyer questions, keywords, and Rufus-focused prompts to create listings that are both searchable and conversion-friendly.   This second installment also dives into overlooked growth channels outside of Amazon. Norm Farrar’s strategy about how sellers should learn how Google Business Profile posts, offers, events, press releases, and deal communities can help drive traffic before, during, and after Prime Day. On the operations side, Burak Yolga explains why inventory check-in timing can make or break a sales event, and why sellers should think carefully about FBA placement, reimbursement audits, FBM backup listings, and omnichannel expansion.   To close out this two-part series, more experts like, Anthony Cofranceso, Mansour Norouzi, Tomer Rabinovich, and Josh Hadley share more ways to make smarter decisions with data and AI, from Prime Day deal structures and post-event remarketing to variation research, customer reporting, hiring workflows, and Market Tracker 360. Whether you are preparing for Prime Day, launching new variations, improving your product detail page, or protecting profit margins, this episode shows how the right preparation can turn a short-term shopping event into long-term brand growth.
