Step-by-step instructions for creating your Amazon coupon
For us Amazon sellers, coupons have long been more than just simple discount vouchers that you use every now and then for special occasions. Coupons are often part of a well-thought-out launch strategy or a strategic tool that you can use to secure additional market share. Thanks to the new Amazon update on coupons, you can now also target shopping cart abandoners of your brand, for example, and thus start a retargeting campaign almost free of charge.

We immediately recognize a bright green, which is typical for an Amazon coupon. The offers immediately catch the eye, which also has a demonstrable effect on the clickthrough rate.
