Use Customer and Competitor Reviews as Goldmines for Conversion Insights

Emma stresses the immense value hidden in product reviews—both your own and those of your competitors. By analyzing these reviews, you can uncover exactly why customers buy, what problems they’re trying to solve, and what language resonates with them. This insight is crucial for crafting copy and visuals that directly address your audience’s hopes, fears, and aspirations, making your Amazon product pages more persuasive.

Invest in Amazon-Specific Content, Not Just a Copy-Paste from D2C

A major mistake brands make is simply copying their website content onto Amazon. Emma highlights that Amazon is a different ecosystem with unique competition and shopper behaviors. Instead, focus on optimising your product detail pages (ASINs) with Amazon-specific strategies: strong gallery images, compelling video, and A+ Content that functions like a visual billboard. Visual storytelling and videos (how-to, testimonials, product-in-use) are particularly powerful for driving conversions.

Amazon is Not ‘Set and Forget’: Test, Iterate, and Watch Competitors

Continuous optimisation is key on Amazon. Emma recommends regularly experimenting with copy, imagery, and even the order of gallery images. Always monitor your conversion rates and watch for changes in the competitive landscape. Declining conversion may not be due to your own changes but new competitors entering the market. Never assume your listing is “done”—ongoing tweaks and improvements are essential to stay ahead.

Takeaways:

• Want better Amazon conversions? Dive deep into your own and competitors’ reviews. They’re goldmines for real customer pain points, hopes, and dreams—perfect material for content that truly sells.
• Treat your Amazon product page like your best salesperson. Every image, video, and word should answer real customer worries and aspirations. Don’t just list features—tell a story that wins trust.
• Never “set and forget” your Amazon listings. Continually test new images, reorder galleries, and update copy. Your competition never sleeps—and neither should your optimisation.
• Behavioral psychology isn’t just buzz—use real customer language from reviews to shape your messaging. Speak to feelings, not just needs. Connection equals conversion.
• Don’t copy-paste website listings to Amazon. Marketplace shoppers are comparing you with competitors in seconds. Invest in bespoke creative—gallery images, A+ content, and videos make all the difference.
