brands and labels. Brand gating is a process in which third-party sellers wishing to sell a branded product need to apply and fulfil certain criteria set up by Amazon. This prevents counterfeiters and unauthorized resellers from continuing to sell your products. By asking Amazon to have your brand gated, you protect your brand not only from the potential loss of sales due to third parties leeching them off your share but also from the loss of brand trust thanks to sub-par counterfeits reaching your customers.<br><br>The history of brand gating goes back to 2016 when the shoe producer Birkenstock quit selling through Amazon exactly because of the rising concerns about the spread of counterfeit selling in the US marketplace. However, reselling is essential to Amazon\u2019s success. In Q1 2019, Amazon stated that third-party selling is growing faster than first-party selling. To keep selling brands that do not approve of having their products listed directly through Amazon, the retail giant implemented controversial measures such as purchasing stock from authorised third parties to resell the products globally. This was met with contempt from Birkenstock\u2019s CEO.<br><br>Brand gating, on the other hand, is a welcome addition to Amazon\u2019s growing number of seller-oriented instruments fighting misuse by bad actors.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

intellectual property office, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the USA. Amazon requires either a text-based mark or an image-based mark with words, letters, or numbers. Note that registering trademarks typically incur fees.<br><br><strong>Enrol in the Amazon brand registry<br><\/strong><br>Now that you have your trademark registered, get started with <a href=\"https:\/\/brandservices.amazon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Brand Registry<\/a>. Providing Amazon with information about your brand helps them take proactive steps to identify potential infringements. Moreover, it gives you insight into your brand presence and lends you powerful tools such as image search to manually detect product listings that you did not authorize.<br><br><strong>Contact Amazon with a list of ASINs to be gated<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>Joining the brand registry program is not enough to have your brand gated. To initiate the process of brand gating, write to your local seller support contact and send them all the necessary information about your brand. If you have an IP lawyer, let them do it instead, as it shows Amazon that you are not taking the protection of your brand lightly. <br><br>To speed up the process, which normally takes up to five weeks from start to finish, give Amazon a list of ASINs that are your most important assets. Amazon will ultimately brand-gate all your ASINs, but if you need to take immediate action, providing them with a priority list is a good idea. It can also help to document your previous struggle with counterfeits.<br><br><strong>Present Amazon with a list of authorized third parties<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>If you are not the sole seller of your branded products on Amazon, let Amazon know of any resellers that have your permission to sell. Even though the third-party sellers need to supply written permission or invoices proving their purchase from you when they apply to sell a branded product, it is a good practice to offer these with your application to prevent any conflicts that might arise after your brand has been gated.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

It happens time and again that competitors occupy relevant ad spaces and influence users in their buying process. To drive a successful defence strategy on Amazon, you should leverage the potential of Sponsored Ads and run defensive campaigns with all three possible ad formats (Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Products and Product Display Ads). Only an all-encompassing approach can ensure the best possible protection of your brand.<br><br>Defensive approach to Sponsored Ads campaigns:\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><ul class=\"lists lists__color--onyxGrey lists__type--circle lists__size--default lists__align--left block-lists__lists\">\n\t<li><strong>Keyword Research:<\/strong> First, get an overview and research all brand-relevant keywords for your products. These search terms contain the brand, the product name and\/or the product-specific number. Examples: \u201cbose headphones\u201d, \u201csafari ultrasharp binoculars\u201d, \u201cleer toolbox STST1-71197\u201d, etc.<\/li><li><strong>Populate the brand- &amp; product-relevant search terms: <\/strong>You should place Sponsored Brands (SBs) and Sponsored Products (SPs) specifically on the product- and brand-relevant keywords so that your competition does not use advertising spaces based on your brand. At the same time, your brand presence increases in the search results.<\/li><li><strong>Target your own products: <\/strong>In addition, you should also use your own ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers) with Product Display Ads (PDAs) and Sponsored Products with product targeting. This is the only way to protect your product detail pages from competitors.<\/li><li><strong>Cross- &amp; up-selling: <\/strong>In addition to brand protection, defensive campaigns help with cross-selling and up-selling. By placing advertisements on product detail pages, you can offer both substitute and complementary products. The probability that the value of the shopping basket will increase, grows in this way.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tParticularly the manufacturers of established, well-known brands need a sophisticated defence strategy for brand protection. Competitors place offensive campaigns on your brand and\/or product keywords especially when customers think of your brand as a synonym for an entire product segment. For example, the search term \u201choover\u201d is generally used for a vacuum cleaner. Other vendors advertise with Sponsored Brands to draw attention to their cheaper brand on the search results page.<br><br>In addition to SBs, brands should also focus on Sponsored Products: Many users do not perceive Sponsored Products as such but classify them as the best natural result of their search query. In combination with positive reviews and a reasonable price, substitutive items from your competitors can quickly arouse buying interest and attract your potential customers.<br><br>The keyword \u201chair dryer babyliss\u201d shows a competitor Sponsored Brands ad and immediately below it, the Amazon user is confronted with two competitor products. The first organic search result, a BaByliss dryer, appears only afterwards.<br><br>In order not to take any risks, you should create both SB and SP campaigns and target brand-specific search terms. This is how you prevent your customers from paying attention to other brands and buying from your competitors.<br><br>Contrary to the assumption that SBs and SPs are sufficient to protect one\u2019s brand, the use of SPs with product targeting and PDAs is also essential.<br><br><strong>Note: <\/strong>Don&#8217;t forget that competitors may not only run keyword-based campaigns but also target other ASINs.<br><br>What are the benefits of using Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands if the customer jumps out shortly before the purchase is completed? In our example, potential buyers are made aware of a competitor\u2019s item on the manufacturer\u2019s product page.<br><br>Users looking for Bluetooth headphones might be swayed by the PDA on the detail page. They have diverted away from the actual product and the competitor, in this case, Stoga gets the sale. Such a purchase can have two negative consequences:\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><ul class=\"lists lists__color--lightGrey lists__type--circle lists__size--default lists__align--left block-lists__lists\">\n\t<li>The advertising budget is given away<\/li><li>Increased sales through PDA may have a positive impact on the placement of that product in organic search results<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tIn order to prevent such offensive campaigns by your competitors, you should place advertisements on your own ASINs. Ideally, Amazon users stay within your own product portfolio and purchase their desired product there.<br><br>Targeting your own product detail pages is particularly well suited for cross-selling and up-selling. You can advertise supplementary items to the main product as well as higher-priced, substitutive products. The shopping basket value can increase thanks to both variants.<br><br>Of course, you can also make use of offensive campaigns and target competitor ASINs and keywords. However, such measures should be carefully considered.<br><br>Strengthening and defending your own brand and position is indispensable for success on Amazon. In practice, brand protection on Amazon is usually neglected and valuable potential is wasted. If you have the unfortunate experience of finding a counterfeit of your product eating up your sales and destroying the trust customers put in your brand, you should have the items protected as soon as possible.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div
