Key Product Features
The Key Product Features bullets on the detail page tell the customer the details of your product and can influence the customer purchase decision. The description helps customers evaluate a product, so any non-product-specific information can distract from a customer’s purchase decision. 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.

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, ask, and want? 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 Not- Describe the major product features and list product information including size, used-for and style- Do 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 information- Do 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 include promotional language such as "sale" or "free ship" (use the Manage Promotions tool in your seller account)

Images
Good Images are Important to Your Products' Success
In an online store, the product image is one of your most valuable marketing tools. When customers browse Amazon.com pages, often the image draws them to consider your product. In addition, with so many choices available for online purchases, a well-formed image can set your product apart from the others. Poor quality images turn customers away.
Use your product images to communicate the selling points and features of your products, to inform and interest customers, and reinforce your brand. Every SKU must have a main image. Learn more about Amazon's Image Requirements and the Clothing/Luggage Store's Image Best Practices below and in Seller Central Help.
Understand the Types of Images
Amazon.com can display several images for each product in the catalog. As a seller, it is in your interest to provide several high-resolution product images for your products so that customers can make informed buying decisions. Listings with missing images are suppressed from the site, thereby getting low customer traffic and conversion rates, resulting in missed sales opportunities. You can use four types of images to illustrate your products:

Variation Relationships
Variations allow customers to choose the desired color of your product from a single detail page, which you create using parent-child product relationships. Variations provide a cleaner customer buying experience.
The parent products are the initial display on the detail page. The child products are the products that are related to each parent and display when the buyer selects the variation. The relationship of parent to child is the variation theme: Color. For most products in Luggage & Travel Accessories, Color will be the only variation used since products of different sizes are set up as another Parent. If you are only carrying one color, you are still required to create a variation with a parent SKU and list the buyable item on a child SKU.
Components of Parent/Child Relationships
There are three components of a parent/child relationship: the parent product, the child products, and the variation theme.
Parent Product
The parent product illustrates what the child products have in common. Although the parent product must be part of your product data, you do not offer it for sale on Amazon.com. Instead, the Amazon.com catalog uses the parent product to establish relationships between other products. For example, if two products have the same parent (such as “Herschel Supply Co. Novel"), they are related and are considered child products. The parent product title will be displayed in search results and should follow our format guidelines: Parent Title: [Brand] + [Collection Name] + [Special Size/department, if applicable)] + [product name]:
Child Products
The child product is a particular product, such as a "Herschel Supply Co. Novel - Black/Tan." You can have many child products that are all related to one parent product. Each child varies in some way. Child or Standalone Product Title Format: [Brand] + [Collection Name] + [Special Size/department, if applicable)] + [product name] + ['One Size'] + [color]
Variation Theme
Variation themes set the parent/child relationship by defining how related products differ from each other.
When to use Variation Relationships
All Luggage & Travel Accessories categories support variation relationships. Amazon requires that you include your products in a parent/child relationship that establishes correct variation themes.

Item Package Quantity
The Item Package Quantity (IPQ) provides customers with information on the number of units within an offer. Make sure you enter the correct IPQ in your listing data so your product will attach to the correct detail page.
Note: Most manufacturers create UPCs for products that are sold as a single unit or as a "set of" (for example, 2 bodysuits sold as 1 unit). However, some sellers bundle the single units to be sold as a set. To minimize detail page errors and customer confusion, it is important to always include the IPQ for products that could be sold either in a set or as single units.

分類-ブラウズ
何千もの売り手がAmazon.comで何百万もの商品を販売しています。購入者が商品を簡単に見つけられるように、Amazon は詳細な商品階層またはブラウズツリー構造を開発しました。購入者は、最も具体的な商品タイプにたどり着くまで、カテゴリーやサブカテゴリーのリンクで絞り込みます。商品タイプのキーワードをより具体的にして、売り上げが伸びるのを見てください。
AmazonはLTEM Typeキーワードを使用して、商品を正しいブラウズノードに分類します。購入者がカテゴリーオプションを絞り込んでも、商品が引き続き表示されるようにするには、商品を最も深いレベルまで正しく分類する必要があります。つまり、ポロシャツは単なるシャツや衣類ではなく、ポロシャツとして分類されるべきです。
