Starting in March 2024, Amazon began rolling out a new experience designed to make it simple for sellers to comply with certification requirements related to the US INFORM Consumers Act. Now, starting in May 2024, if you have 200 or more transactions or $5,000 or more in revenues during a continuous 12-month period, you may receive a formal notification to review and certify that your business information is correct. However, you do not need to wait to receive the formal notification and can take action now to avoid the risk of account deactivation later which could affect your upcoming sales events.

The episode continues with a must-attend call to action for all sellers aiming to refine their competitive edge: the Elite Workshop in Madrid, Spain. We've got an impressive lineup of speakers who will share invaluable insights on strategies for success on Amazon and Walmart. Tune in for Bradley’s tips on harnessing Helium 10's Insights Dashboard for effortless competitor tracking, covering everything from pricing to sales and keywords. And don't miss out on the discussion about the critical role of click-through rates versus conversion rates, using Helium 10’s Chrome Extension with Amazon Brand Analytics data to illustrate why attracting clicks is only half the battle in e-commerce. Discover the power of coupling high clicks with strong conversions, ensuring your products don't just catch the eye but also seal the deal.
