Amazon ASIN Management and Product Tracking Tips

𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗡-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀. And a lot of sellers are about to get caught off guard. 90-day supply caps = ✅ Less control ✅ Slower launches ✅ Wasted peak-season traffic We’ve already seen what this does: • Brands with new SKUs get throttled before they gain traction • Holiday inventory shows up… but can’t get checked in • High-volume ASINs run out, while dead SKUs sit untouched Here’s what’s working to stay ahead: • 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 Amazon’s restock system looks at velocity, not vibes. Track what actually moves. • 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝟯𝗣𝗟𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘁 - 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 Stock just enough at FBA. Keep the rest ready to drip-feed in. • 𝗕𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗡𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 It clears inventory and helps justify more restock room. • 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 No one’s buying the pink medium. Kill it before it kills your limits. • 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗡𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 Split focus = weak velocity = low restock limits. This isn’t about playing Amazon’s game. It’s about not letting the system play you. #AmazonRestockLimits #FBAstrategy #InventoryManagement #AmazonSellers #Q4Prep #PeakSeasonTips #ExtremeBranding

Amazon Makes It Easier to Manage Variations Using Bulk Spreadsheets Amazon has announced a long-awaited improvement to variation management: you can now add new standalone ASINs to existing variation families—even if you didn’t create them. This update, live now for Vendor Central users, significantly reduces reliance on Amazon Support. What You Can Do Now Using bulk listing spreadsheets, vendors can: 🔹Create new variation families from scratch 🔹Group existing standalone ASINs into a new variation 🔹Add new standalone ASINs to any existing variation family, regardless of who originally created it This is especially useful if: 🔸You have color, size, or pack count extensions to add to an existing parent 🔸Your listings were previously separated and need to be grouped for better customer experience 🔸You’re inheriting a catalog built by another vendor or Amazon itself Why It Matters for eCommerce Sellers This change removes one of the most frustrating bottlenecks in catalog management. Previously, many sellers had to open cases and wait days to merge or extend variations—not ideal during high-traffic periods like Prime Day or Q4. Now, variation control is back in your hands, enabling faster merchandising, stronger product discovery, and a cleaner brand presentation.
