All About Amazon Storefronts

What are Amazon Storefronts and how do you find them?

Over half of online consumers start their product searches on Amazon. It is so important for businesses to capitalize on this opportunity. Amazon provides the perfect platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their products, increase visibility, and reach millions of customers worldwide. By taking advantage of Amazon’s low fees and easy-to-use interface, small and large business owners can maximize their profits while also gaining valuable insights into customer preferences. This is where Influencers and Associates come in. Influencers and Associates are individuals who leverage their networks to promote products and services on Amazon. Influencers can target a specific audience, build word-of-mouth marketing campaigns, and strategically focus their efforts to generate more sales. In addition, affiliates of both type are often rewarded with commission payments based on the performance of their campaigns. Read all about Amazon storefronts below.

Here is a little info on the Amazon affiliate programs:

Amazon Influencers are creators that promote products through Amazon’s Influencer program. There is also the Amazon Associates program, those accounts do not get a storefront but they can still make a lot of money by linking to specific products. The Associates program is easier to get into.

Some things to note on how the affiliate programs work:

  • Like most affiliate programs, content creators have apply to become an Amazon Influencer or Associate, Keep in mind, they are separate applications and you can be a member of both.
  • Creators that get approved for the program get an affiliate link. With this special link, they get credit for their content that leads to sales on Amazon. 
  • Creators earn a commission for purchases within 24 hours tracked by their link clicks.

Approved creators in the Influencer program also get their own Amazon influencer storefront. This is a page featuring the creator’s recommended products. They can add whatever products that they like and want to recommend. The sales from the storefront are then attributed to the creators. Here is mine for example:

If you are confused about which to apply for, try both! If you get denied you can always apply again. Keep in mind that you need to get at least 3 sales within the first 6 months to stay in the program. But you can also apply again if you don’t make them and start over.
