What is Perfect Launch?
Speed matters in business. For Amazon selling partners, the first 90 days are especially critical for establishing best practice in marketing, order management, and even pricing, to accelerate performance after launching. “Perfect Launch” is what Amazon experts call the use of five selling programmes—Brand Registry, A+ Content, Fulfilment by Amazon, Automated Pricing, and Advertising—within those first 90 days. Selling partners taking these five steps within that crucial time frame can generate sales more quickly, as many of the most successful selling partners already have.

BRAND REGISTRY
Register your brand to be eligible for the new brand bonus
With Brand Registry, you have a suite of tools designed to help you grow and protect your brand, creating a better experience for customers. In particular, with Brand Registry your brand can benefit from automated protection, as well as access to powerful search tools to identify and report potential violations.
More than 500,000 brands are enrolled in Brand Registry1
New professional sellers who enrol a brand in Brand Registry get 10% back on their first €45,000 in branded sales, then 5% back though the first year until they reach €900,000.
A+ CONTENT
Elevate your product page content
Use A+ Content to showcase your brand and product features on Amazon product detail pages. Dive into features with technical specs, comparative product info, and enhanced content, including images, videos, and product user guides. Then run A/B tests to optimise for conversion by using our Manage Your Experiments tool. Over the last year, thousands of selling partners have used both of these tools to help maximise product listings.
Adding A+ content to detail pages can help increase sales by an average of 5.6%.2

FULFILMENT BY AMAZON
Give your customers the Prime experience on your eligible offers
With Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA), you store your products in our fulfilment centres, and we pick, pack, deliver your orders and provide 24/7 customer support in the local languages of Amazon’s European stores. Eligible offers fulfilled using FBA carry the Prime badge because of the Amazon promise of fast delivery and trusted customer service.
On average, selling partners who use FBA in France see their sales increase by 36%.3
New sellers who sign up for FBA, enrol a product and send inventory to Amazon get €90 credit for shipping fees to the Amazon fulfilment network and free storage and customer returns with auto-enrolment in the FBA New Selection programme. They can also get a €180 credit towards fulfilment costs when using Amazon Global Logistics, and they can get an exemption for storage utilisation surcharges for one year from the date the FBA inventory is received and for low inventory cost coverage fee (PANEU) for the first year following the first Pan-EU active date.
