Brand registry and classes

About registering my brand. Can anybody tell me if i register for one class only, can i extend the brand to other classes at a later stage? Did anybody use a company to assist them?

Answer: You’re best off nailing the initial classes. I’ve done trademarking for a few brands now, provided you’re absolutely clear on which class(es) it’s straightforward

Early review program

Has anybody tried the “Early reviewer program” ? Any thoughts?

Answer: I’ve signed up to it for my first product. Sold 35 but still no reviews from it in the last few weeks. Hopefully soon!
I’ve got two products enrolled. It was very good for the first one but have struggled to get reviews for the second but i’d definitely recommend it. Avoid the vine programme where you give products to ‘top reviewers’ it’s a total waste

FBM premium shipping

Can anyone doing FBM advise? I just received an email saying that my option to provide premium shipping has been removed. My order defect rate is only 0.26% could this really be the reason?

Answer: In seller central, select Performance->Account Health, then select “Eligibilities” along the top. That will give you the reason. 3 metrics used… On-Time Delivery Rate, Pre-fulfillment Cancel Rate, Valid Tracking Usage Rate

Banned words in title

Has anybody had this happen to them: Today I was tinkering with a product title and changed it to read “anniversary gift…” (previously it had those words but not in that order). However when I published it the words were automatically removed. I’ve tried it in various combinations including almost identical to the original title but it’s still removed. I’ve contacted amazon but awaiting response. Ranking for keywords will be tricky if you can’t have them in the title. Any ideas on a policy change?

Answer: So i had a reply from amazon and ‘anniversary’ falls in to the same category as ‘high quality’ ‘top seller’ etc of words that are banned

Enter high demand market

Answer: Absolutely, a stand out listing gets the sale, and so many people just don’t know how to do that, they fill up descriptions and bullet points with so much pointless info its a put off, and little things like that make you stand out, clean, clear and simple listings. One of my new sellers has three bullet points and a one line description, its the Amazon’s choice for a highly competitive item
