Joining the Amazon brand registry is more important today than it has ever been before. Not only does registering your brand allow you to control your listing but it’s also a requirement to get your brand gated so that other sellers can not sell your products on Amazon. It also allows you to enroll in the Amazon Transparency program which further protects your brand from counterfeit sellers. At a high level, registering your brand on Amazon is straightforward to do.

Long gone are the days of paying 1 or 5 cent for clicks on Google Ads. Today, clicks are expensive. And a high cost per click means that advertisers have to find a balance between profit and traffic.

And when competition heats up, like during the holiday season, finding that balance becomes even harder.

By now hopefully folks are beginning to accept that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are mostly media events—some would say “media traps” —that actually reveal next to nothing about how the holiday season will ultimately turn out. Moreover, aside from the generally hard to get “door busters,” the best deals are often found over the next several weeks, not on the two days that generate the most hype, er, I mean, attention.
