After working so hard to get a new product to #4 in its subcategory, and with sales steadily rising, it's out of stock?!

Out of stock means a plummeting ranking, zero advertising weight, and competitors seizing the opportunity...

Don't panic, today we'll discuss effective strategies for dealing with out-of-stock situations!

 

Case Study:

New product! Reached subcategory #4 within 1 month of launch, but due to some reason it went out of stock, and was unavailable for a whole month. This exceeded Amazon's two-week protection period. Without timely recovery of ranking, previous promotion efforts would be wasted, which is a great pity!

 

Seller Pain Points:

Rankings plummeted, Organic traffic decreased, and competition with numerous new and existing competitors is necessary.

Advertising costs soared Advertising needs to accumulate data models again, and the initial CPC bidding may be higher than during the new product launch period.

Consumer trust decreased, Customers may have switched to competitors during the out-of-stock period, and buying confidence needs to be rebuilt after restocking.

 

Remedial Strategies

After restocking, use WOOT BD to quickly launch flash sale promotions. WOOT flash sales are not limited by time slots, and the promotional period is long, providing a good opportunity to recover data before the link's ranking completely drops.

Quickly launch flash sale promotions, BD promotions have high traffic

Promotion start time is chosen by the seller

Recovery of organic traffic and keyword rankings:

  • Keyword organic rankings also showed a breakthrough.

 

 

Key points for the success of this relaunch:

  1. The product listing had relatively high ranking before it went out of stock
  2. BD promotion was used immediately after restocking, so the listing quickly increased ranking and sales
