Amazon Brand Story: Everything you Need to Know

Last updated on January 4th, 2024 at 08:01 am

If you aren’t using the “Brand Story” feature on Amazon, you’re leaving an easy conversion rate boost.

Especially since the vast majority of brands aren’t using it yet, including products on the best seller page.

This article will tell you everything you need to know about the Brand Story feature, from who has access, to setting it up for maximum conversions.

It’s one of the fastest and simplest ways to boost Amazon conversion rates.

What is an Amazon Brand Story?

Its a feature available to all Brand Registered sellers, as well as Amazon Vendor Central and managed sales program sellers (such as Amazon Exclusives).

It appears directly above the traditional A+ Content description half way down your listing page, and can be applied to all ASINs under your brand. So you don’t have to create a unique one for each product.

You can choose a custom layout of 4 different modules to show your brand story and spotlight the things that set you apart from competitors.

It’s far simpler than a full A+ Content description so even if you don’t have the time/ budget for that, a brand story is worth the smaller investment. Especially since it applies to all your brand’s products.

Brand Story Benefits

Other than simply taking up more space on your product page & standing out, there are some compelling benefits to using Amazon brand stories.

  • Increase average cart value (cross-sells)
    • If you use the modules that link to your other products, a percentage of shoppers will end up buying multiple of your products. Small increases in average cart value can add up big time, especially if they only clicked and ad once but purchased two or more of your products.

  • Humanize your brand to connect emotionally
    • Create a connection with shoppers that sets you apart from the other widget sellers. People today want to support brands they care about. Give them a reason to care.

  • Brand awareness
    • Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t give brands the best opportunity for brand building. As the world’s largest product search engine, it’s easy for shoppers to compare products by price, reviews, and images alone. A good brand story allows you to build some brand equity with shoppers, so they’re more likely to think of you for repurchases or future products.

What Makes a Good Brand Story?

 

  1. All stories are not created equal
    • Just like real stories, there are good and bad ones. It must be both genuine and compelling to your shoppers. This is not the place for generic corporate mumbo jumbo, the goal is to connect to shoppers & legitimize your brand.
    • Bad Story: Jeff’s Rocket Co. exists to create the highest quality products at the best price. Our manufacturing process in our world-class production facilities is top of class, bringing you the best products on the market. (generic, not believable, not specific)
    • Good Story: The latest rocket innovations designed to skyrocket fun in a safe way. Jeff’s Rocket Co. was built by rocket man Jeff Bezos to change the way we enjoy rockets forever. Our mission is to empower the next generation of rocket aficionados to blast off to another dimension. (playful, non-corporate, specific)

  2. Visually Striking
    • Everyone’s seen half-assed photoshop done on Microsoft Paint by a 6-year-old. Ensure your brand story is both eye-catching and indicative of a big-budget brand. Use a professional designer, high-quality images, and a design that fits your brand colors and style.

  3. Highlight How your Products Stand Out
    • Are your products GMO-Free? Stronger materials? Has unique features? Showcase your unique selling propositions front and center.

  4. Easy Access to your Product Line
    • Use the “Brand ASIN & Store Showcase” module to display your top-selling products, so shoppers easily understand everything you sell. This increases cross-sells and proves you are a real brand with a complete product line.
