To enable sellers familiarize themselves with the tastes & preferences of the destination countries and to launch relevant products, Amazon’s global teams also help sellers understand the demand patterns in various countries. The team gives guidance on how sellers can improve discoverability of their products on each marketplace. Some of this includes guidance on the type of deals they can run, the kind of digital advertisements they can run on these marketplaces and how they can use social media channels to drive awareness about their listings on the various marketplaces.
