Tools & Home Improvement

Whether you're selling products for industrial, professional, DIY customers, or all of the above, accurate data is crucial to discoverability and sales. How you present your products will greatly influence the customer's purchasing decision when shopping on Amazon.com. Providing a clear and concise listing while following a consistent format will better inform customers and enhance the discoverability of your products. This can result in increased traffic to your product listings.

Please review the following information in detail and make the appropriate adjustments to your product listings.

This section covers the following guidelines for setting up product detail pages:

Title StyleGet customer attention with great titles. Clear and concise titles will improve your search results and catch the customer’s attentionBrand & ManufacturerImprove discoverability and duplicate detection by entering accurate brand and manufacturer information.ImagesShow customers what they're buying.

Please use if there is more than one identical unit in the package of the product you are selling.Variation RelationshipsMake choices easy: Display multiple color and size options on a single detail page.Product AttributesProviding attributes about your products to help Amazon surface your products and display detailed product specifications to the customer.

Title Style

Your product title is the first thing customers see when visiting your detail page. Does your title provide the customer with the right information? Will they continue looking at your product offering?

Amazon uses the words in product titles to display your products in search results. A concise and relevant title will drive traffic to your product. Always check titles for consistent format and accuracy. Follow the guidelines below to create product titles that make a good first impression. When you list your child products, fully describe each one so that they are all included in browse and search results. Each individual word in the Product Name is searchable by itself. For example, suppose your product name is "DeWalt D51845 1-to-2-1/2-Inch Round Head Framing Nailer.II Because this product name is very detailed, this product already has a good selection of search terms even before you add the additional terms.

Tips on how to create a great title

DoDo NotCapitalize the first letter of each word (but see exceptions under Do Not) - Use numerals (2 instead of two) - Avoid dashes and slashes in titles, use commas instead (except when noting measurements, such as 3/4 or 8-3/4) ’ If a bundled product, state value in parenthesis as (pack of X) Keep it short, but include critical information 50 characters maximum- Do not include price and quantity - Do not use ALL CAPS - Do not capitalize: - Conjunctions (and, or, for) - Articles (the, a, an) - Prepositions with fewer than five letters (in, on, over, with, etc.) - Do not include seller information Do not include promotional messages such as "sale" or "free ship" (use the Promotion Manager tool to include messaging)’ Note: Please include only standard text. Type 1 High ASCII characters (®, ©, ™, etc.) or other special characters are not supported.Do not use your seller name for Brand or Manufacturer information, unless your product is Private Label Do not include symbols in your listings (such as ! * $ ?) - Do not include subjective commentary such as

Examples:

Key Product Features

The Key Product Features bullets on the detail page tell the customer about the details of your product and can influence the customer purchase decision.

Highlight the five key features you want customers to consider, such as dimensions, age

appropriateness, ideal conditions for the product, skill level, contents, country of origin, and so on

Maintain a consistent order. If your first bullet point is country of origin, keep that same order for all your products

Reiterate important information from the title and description

Begin each bullet point with a capital letter

Write with sentence fragments and do not include ending punctuation

Do not include promotional and pricing information

Do not include shipping or company information. Amazon policy prohibits including seller, company, or shipping information

Feature bullets help customers evaluate a product, so any non-product-specific information can distract from a customer's purchase decision

ContentExample: Feature BulletsMaterialsDurable plastic handles Constructed of lightweight powder coated aluminum and Zinc plated stee Satin nickel and chrome finish Rubber boot for enhanced gripPlace of originMade in ChinaMeasurementsLightweight 6-1/2 pounds 40-gallon capacity Max. Depth of Cut: 22-3/4 inches Blade Shaft Diameter: 2-1/2 inchesWarranty Information1-year manufacturer warranty with proof of purchase

Customers use this section to get a snapshot of the product. They may use this section to finalize a purchase decision or it may interest them enough so they will then read the full product description.

Tips to improve readability

Write all numbers as numerals

Separate phrases in one bullet with semicolons

Spell out measurements such as quart, inch, feet, and so on

Do Not:

Use hyphens, symbols, periods, or exclamation points

Write vague statements; be as specific as possible with product features and attributes

Enter company-specific information; this section is for product features only

Product Descriptions

As you describe your product, you might want to include some key features listed in your bullet points. However, go beyond a simple to-the-point description. Well-written product descriptions help the customer imagine the experience of owning or handling your product.

Put yourself in your customers' shoes: what would they want to feel, touch, and ask? Incorporating information about the feel, usage and benefits of your product can fire the customer's imagination. This is as close as you can come to creating an in-store experience. Product Descriptions are limited to 2000 characters.

DoDo NotDescribe the major product features and list product information including size, used-for and styleDo not include your seller name, e-mail address, website URL, or any company-specific information- Keep it short, but include critical information. - Include accurate dimensions, care instructions and warranty informationDo not write about anything but the product for sale; this is your opportunity to tell the customer what they are buying- Use correct grammar and complete sentences- Do not mention competitor names outright - Do not include promotional language such as "sale" or "free ship" (use the Manage Promotions tool) - Do not abbreviate

Product Description

This 12 volt cordless drill is just like its big 15.6 volt brother, only a little lighter in the hand and on the pocketbook. With 293 inch/pounds of torque, it flat-lines its 12 volt competition and runs longer per application than most of its 18 volt rivals. A compact 8-3/16 inch chassis length and a weight of just over 4 pounds make it easy for almost anyone to handle. It has two speed ranges: 0 to 400 rpm for driving screws and drilling through soft substances like drywall, and a robust 100 to 1300rpm setting for drilling through harder woods. For large construction projects,you may want to consider its big brother,the 15.6 volt PDK15, or their cousin, the PD15KH with a hammer function for masonry, but weight, runtime and price make this a perfect drill for do-it-yourselfers and homeowners. Don't be fooled by its size, its power will make a believer out of you. This was a Popular Electronics 2005 Editor's Choice product.

Bad: -Too vague, doesn't provide a compelling reason to purchase the product

Images display on the product search page and the product detail page. A professional image helps customers discover your product and can drive traffic to your product listings. Show customers what they will receive in their shipment (and only what they will receive). Make it easy for them to identify your product with a clear, high-quality image displaying exactly what you're offering.

It should occupy at least 80 percent of the image area. - Include only what the customer will be receiving; accessories that are not part of the product should not be shown If it is a bundled product, it is not necessary to show the entire LOT of items, a single image of the product will suffice. - Multiple angles of each product is preferredProhibited- Brand tags or packaging in any of the images - Images of second hand or slightly used products - Borders, watermarks, text, or other decorations - Sketches / drawings of the product - real images only - Colored backgrounds or lifestyle pictures, except in cases of prepared food products. Other products, items or accessories that are not part of the product listing only include exactly what the customer is buying - Image place holders (i.e. -temporary imagesII or -no image availableII ) - Image containing graphs of product ratings - Promotional text such as "sale" or "free ship" (use the Manage Promotions too

Note: Zoom Functionality

When you submit an image of at least 1,000dpi ,customers can zoom in on your product image on the detail page. This provides a detailed look at your product and may reduce returns and negative feedback.

Examples of good images

Additional Images

Alternate images should feature the product in use and close-ups of important features.

Browse & Search

Customers come to Amazon.com to shop for products. They can find your products two ways: either using the Browse option, or using Search Terms. Most often customers use a combination of browse and search. Make sure customers can find your products. Drive traffic by providing Search Terms and Style-Keywords (for Browse).

Classification- Browse

Thousands of merchants sell millions of products on Amazon.com. To help customers find products easily, Amazon developed a detailed product hierarchy or browse-tree structure. Customers refine by category and subcategory links until they reach the most specific product type.

Amazon uses your ItemType keywords to classify your products under the correct browse nodes. In order for your products to continue to appear when customers refine their category options, they must be classified correctly to the deepest level.

See the latest Item Classification Guide in the Help section of Seller Central. Item Classification Guides (ICGs) are category-specific documents that provide valid values for setting up your products. These values take advantage of the browse structure for categories on Amazon.com.

Example of the browse-tree category structure on Amazon.com:

Department

< Air Tools or Air Compressors

Air Tools

Air Compressors (479)

Blowguns (15)

Caulking Guns (22)

Chisels (12)

∗∗∗ ItemType is the most important attribute for getting customer’s to your product and in the most granular browse node.

Amazon automatically indexes the search terms that are derived from the standard-product-id (e.g. UPC/EAN), product-title, brand, manufacturer, and manufacturer-part-number. This allows you to add even more keywords to your products. There are five separate entries for the keyword field and each can contain up to 50 characters-comma separated.

Search terms help customers find your products. Your product titles and company name are already searchable, so think about other words that describe your product. Think like Amazon customers when choosing your terms; use words they might enter into the search bar, including synonyms. Make sure they can find your products!

Guidelines for listing your Search Terms

Each product can have up to five search lines of 50 characters per field; that’s 250 characters available for your search terms

The words you choose are the terms our search engine pulls from when customers search the site

The individual words of the title, seller, and brand are also automatically included as search terms and do not need to be repeated in your search terms

Any combination of title words and search terms are fully searchable

UPC and IPQ for multi-packs

For most products listed on Amazon, a multi-pack listing is only allowed for a manufacturer-created pack with its own unique UPC. You must enter an Item Package Quantity (IPQ) for these products.

Examples: There are different UPCs for a single unit and a pack with multiples of that unit. If you create a multi-pack that is not sold by the manufacturer, verify if an ASIN for the multi-pack already exists. If it does exist, match to it accordingly. If the ASIN for the multi-pack doesn’t already exist, you must create a new ASIN using its own unique UPC. The examples below illustrate the importance of UPC and IPQ for multi-packs. Non-manufacturer-created multi-pack ASINs cannot be listed as variations of a manufacturer-created multi-pack ASIN. You must either match to an identical multi-pack product detail page or create a new ASIN with a unique UPC.

Variation Relationships

Variations allow customers to choose the desired color and size of your product from a single detail page, which you create using parent-child product relationships. Variations provide a cleaner customer buying experience.

Note: If your products currently match with Amazon offers on the detail page, you can skip this section (and please do not use Variation Relationships) because your products will automatically match to an identical product offer.

The best selling child products are the initial display on the detail page and the other variations are displayed when selected by the customer. The child products are related to each parent and the relationship of parent to child is the variation theme: Size, Color, or Size-Color.

There are three Components to a Parent/Child relationship:

Parent product: Non-buyable products used to relate child products, for example flashlights

Child products: Buyable products related to parent product by size and/or color, such as Blue, Gray, Orange, and Yellow

Variation theme: Defines how the products differ from each other, such as size-color

When creating variations, you must provide information in these required fields:

Parentage (identify for that SKU, either "parent" or "child")

Parent SKU (for child SKUs only, enter the parent SKU for that child)

Relationship Type (enter "variation" if the product is part of a variation set)

Color - if appropriate

Size - if appropriate

Variation Theme (size or color or size-color; for size-color the size and color fields must both have values)

Note: If you enter the Relationship Type and fail to enter the color or size, you might receive an error when uploading your data, or your product might not display properly on the website. Make sure you have entered all required variation fields for your products. If you fail to enter any of the required fields, your products could be suppressed from the website. If you have questions, please contact technical support.

Product Attributes

Providing rich data about the items you sell helps Amazon surface your products in search and browse and provides detailed product specifications to the customer. There are several additional attributes you can provide about your products. These attributes will be displayed in the product specification feature and allow Amazon to create browse refinements for search.

Product Specification Widget

The product specification widget is displayed on the detail page and allows the customer to see at a glance the most relevant attributes for making a buying decision. This feature also allows Amazon to provide useful definitions of attributes so customers can make an informed buying decision.

Search Result Refinements Using Attributes

Attribute based refinements allow customers to narrow their search results to only the product relevant to what they are looking for. Once the majority of products in a certain browse location have attribute data, Amazon will turn on these refinements.

An example of attribute-based refinements can be found in chandeliers where a customer can refine their search by fixture material, shade type, number of lights, and shade direction.

These refinements show up in the left column of the search results under the department, shipping option, and brand. Because of the vast selection on Amazon, providing product attributes can be essential for customers to discover your products.

Example of Attribute-based refinements in Search Results:

The most important attributes for Tools & Home Improvement products are listed in the following tables.
