Recently, some sellers are asking how to arrange LD spikes on Amazon. Before spikes, during spikes, and after spikes, they need to prepare to stabilize their rankings. Today's article is an article on the LD spike in the station.
【Seckill two important schedules】
Because I basically do non-seasonal products, I will share the layout of LD spikes for non-seasonal products today. There are two very important schedules for spikes:
1. The second month of the new product period
2. The fourth month to the sixth month of the rising period
For new products, if they perform well in the first month on the shelves, then there may be a recommendation for LD spike at the end of the first month. This opportunity is very rare, and the old iron must seize this opportunity. It is recommended to participate in two consecutive spikes in the second month. Another best time to participate in Lightning Deals is in the fourth to sixth month of the rising period, because listings that have been on the shelves for three months already have a certain quality score, and it will be very effective to use Lightning Deals to rush the rankings. During the rising period of three months, participate in at least two spikes per month, and it is easier for listings to enter the stable period. Normally, a link can basically enter the stable period after 6 months of listing.
Old iron, please note that for new accounts, new links may not be immediately recommended for instant kills. It is recommended for new accounts to maintain an account for a period of time, to list cheap and good quality products, and to use off-site intermittent stocking of accounts for more than a month to increase the number of Feedbacks. More than 10, and the FB score is more than 4.9 points, so the chance of recommending spikes in the background will be greatly improved. This is the experience of making new accounts.
【Prepare before the spike】
Whether it is a new product or a link in the rising period, if you want to sign up for the spike, there are two very important indicators:
1. The conversion rate of advertisements in the last 7 days is at least 5% or more
2. Most of the linking keywords naturally rank in the top 3 pages
These two indicators are indispensable. Why should the conversion rate of advertisements in the last 7 days be at least 5% or more? If there is no link in the stable period, the traffic is unstable. If the conversion rate of the link advertisement is poor, and the link does not get a better advertisement ranking, if you go to participate in the seckill, then the advertisement order may not be very good. When most of the link’s ordering keywords are naturally ranked in the top 3 pages, it means that this link already has a natural order, and the link with a natural order will be more effective if it participates in the seckill. If these two indicators are not up to standard, do not participate in the seckill, participating in the seckill will only waste money!
How to check the advertising ranking and natural ranking of link keywords, you can directly use the SIF tool to check.
It has been determined that the above two requirements are met, then directly sign up for the seckill. After the registration is successful, it is recommended to use this action in the first 3 days of the seckill, and directly use the member discount, which is about 15% member discount. For example, the link sells for 19.99 dollars before the seckill, and the discount price for a member before the seckill is 16.99 dollars, and there is no need to open a coupon. The 15% member discount price will not affect the Lightning Deal price.
At this time, the membership discount will directly benefit from the price, use the member discount advantage to promote advertising performance, and further improve the natural ranking to promote more natural orders. The ultimate goal is to welcome the arrival of the spike.
【Seckill advertising layout】
There are two strategies for seckill ads:
The first strategy: directly increase the budget for the advertising activities that perform well in ordinary times, do not need to adjust the single bidding and mode, only need to increase the advertising budget, at the beginning of the seckill, directly increase the budget by 2 times, and the seckill will be carried out for about 3 minutes , If the spike progress bar does not reach more than 70%, add 1-2 times the budget. Use the model of increasing the insertion order in a well-performing campaign and adding a budget to complete the progress bar in seconds.
The second strategy: Create two new ad campaigns, one is automatic ads that only open close matches, and the other is manual ads.
Automatic advertisements only open close matching, add negative attribute junk keywords and other brand attribute keywords in advance, and the single auction can be the same as the original advertising campaign, adopt (increase and only reduce the bidding strategy), this bidding strategy is participating in the seckill can greatly increase the insertion order.
Before the manual advertisement is placed in the link, there are medium words and big words that are exposed and clicked. It is enough to put about ten keywords in an advertising campaign. The single auction is the same as the original advertising campaign, using (increasing and only lowering the bidding strategy), and then opening phrase matching for these keywords. Phrase matching can not only ensure a certain amount of exposure, but also ensure that there will not be so many keywords. Junk traffic. Manual ads also include negative keywords in advance.

(Small categories of negative keywords are exhausted)
You can create these two advertising campaigns 1 day before the spike, and the budget can be opened at 1-3 times the single bid.
【Six minutes from the start of the spike】
If it is the first time for Lao Tie to participate in the seckill, it is recommended to stay in front of the computer for six minutes. Take the US site as an example, the best time to participate in the seckill is 9:00-15:00 Western Time (US Eastern Time). 12:00-18:00), that is, we start in the early morning in China, which means we have to engage in seckill all night. When I participated in the seckill in 2019, I often watched the progress of the seckill late at night.
If it is the first time for a new link to participate in the seckill, it is recommended to increase the coupon by 10%-20% before the start of the seckill, and add coupons to the price of the seckill, and the effect of placing orders will be better. But, you don't need to add more. After about 3 minutes in the spike, if the spike progress bar reaches more than 70%, you can close the coupon. If not, continue to open the coupon. The first seckill should be finished in seconds anyway, even if it loses money, it is recommended that Lao Tie should finish the first seckill, because the effect of the first seckill will affect the ranking of the second seckill.
For the first time to participate in the seckill, I suggest to manually increase the advertising budget, so that you can monitor the data of each advertising campaign in real time, whether it is according to the first seckill advertising strategy, or according to the second seckill strategy, two advertising strategies You can manually increase your advertising budget. In the last two minutes, if you increase the advertising budget, you must kill the number in seconds. So why it is recommended that the old iron who participates in the spike for the first time stare at the computer to see the spike progress bar, which is the reason.
【The action after the spike】
The first time to participate in the seckill is to stabilize the ranking. Basically, the first time to participate in the seckill is to promote the ranking of small categories. What we can do is to slow down the ranking of small categories. Therefore, after participating in the first spike, immediately make a 15% membership discount, which can relatively stabilize the link ranking.
Advertising budget, after participating in the first spike, it is recommended to increase the advertising budget by 1.2-1.5 in the previous performance of the advertising campaign. The purpose of increasing the advertising budget is to increase the advertising order. The two newly created campaigns do not need to increase the advertising budget, just reduce the advertising budget to double the single-auction budget. These two advertising campaigns are prepared for spikes, not for usual advertising.
These two operational adjustments can make the link relatively stabilize the sales and ranking of the link after participating in the seckill. This is why I recommend that you only register the minimum number of seckills for the first time you participate in the seckill. It must be finished in seconds, and after the second is finished, it is difficult for you to stabilize the ranking brought by the second kill to the link!
According to this model, the ranking of links can be gradually stabilized by participating in at least two spikes a month.
I will share it here today, and I will write a lot of Amazon dry goods articles later. If you like my articles, you can pay attention to Blindly Jun.
