Overview: Reporting & Product Strategy

Quarter‑Based Reporting

  • Download and audit quarterly performance reports across ads and catalog.
  • Surface demand mismatches and over‑spend vs return on best sellers via LQS + ad reports.
Product Cohorts
  • Seasonal products: calendar‑aware budgeting and content updates.
  • Consistent products → subdivide into Best, Medium, Low sellers.
  • Non‑sellers: diagnose content/price/reviews; decide to sunset or reboot.
Checklist (applies to all cohorts)
  1. Content — titles, bullets, rich media, compliance.
  2. Price Competitiveness — benchmark against Amazon (meet/beat where strategic).
  3. Reviews — volume, recency, and sentiment; use Review Accelerator when applicable.

Ad Center Approach

  • Download ad reports. For high‑potential SKUs lacking spend, spin up focused campaigns.
  • For new ad accounts, create category segmentation and priority tiers.
  • Launch and pause using 60‑/30‑/14‑day data lenses.
Example Segmentation
  • High‑priority: Vacuum Cleaners, Air Fresheners, Household Cleaners.
  • Low‑priority / Excluded: Sewing, Moving Supplies, Wireless Accessories.
  • Bidding: aggressive on core high‑conversion SKUs; moderate for awareness/discovery.
